Self Image: Activity 2

Find images in the media, which have been used to represent attractive and unattractive aspects of the human face. Examine and record carefully the photographic techniques used to accentuate both these qualities, drawing up a list that relates to the images you have found. List the physical characteristics that we have come to admire in both the male and female face and write 100 words in response to the following questions: 


  1. Do you believe that media images or public opinion are responsible for the characteristics of beauty becoming universal stereotypes? 
  2. Do you believe people admiring media images of glamorous models can do any harm?


Attractive:                                                                               Unattractive:

                                                                                      

                                              
                                               
                   
                                   

                                 



          
                 

                                                                                                      




Physical Characteristics we admire:

  • Eyes
  • Muscular
  • Tall
  • Athletic
  • High cheekbones
  • Full lips

1. Yes, I believe that the media images or public opinion are responsible for the characteristics of beauty becoming universal stereotypes because the world wants to see us as skinny with beautiful features we count beautiful as having pretty eyes, full lips, high cheekbones, full breasts and the reality is that you either have to be born lucky to have features like that or get plastic surgery and yes we see people like that like celebrities. Now society is moving towards being plus sizes is okay but it hasn't entirely launched but were getting there but there is still a shadow over our society that we all have to be skinny or muscular and beautiful. 

2. Yes, I believe that people admire media images of glamorous models way too much we become obsessed with that image and we try everything in our power to become it and in reality we won't  become that way and we end up getting hurt at the end and we see that it wasn't worth it.
