Media and Self-Esteem
Search electronic and printed media to find an advertisement that may negatively impact adolescent self-esteem or body image (or both). Analyze the impact the advertisement may have on youth.
Complete the following:
• Post a link to the advertisement or attach a picture of it to your post.
• Identify the message the image sends.
• Examine the effect this advertisement may have on the way youth view themselves.
• Review the Kilbourne “Resources for Change” document and create a plan of how you, as a human behavior professional, may be able to utilize one of the resources listed as you advocate for children and adolescents.
• Provide validation and support for assertions by including relevant examples and supporting evidence.
