The media is one of the largest influences on how society perceives beauty. We are constantly shown pictures of people who are thin and are told that in order to be beautiful you must be thin and look like a Victoria Secret model. This then has an impact on our youth and directs them towards unhealthy lifestyles in order to attain this look. I believe that if there are better techniques to help combat these misrepresentations that are portrayed through the media then there will be a healthier generation. Health Educators can accomplish this by having more programs empowering women and that target the issues.
