I just wrote a paper on the effect of media on gender role stereotypes and the roles they play in eating disorders. Especially in American young women. We are raised in a society that looks to media like television and magazines to guide our lifestyles and many young women put their lives at serious risk as they strive to look like these stick figures in magazines. Other cultures around the world and throughout time are much more receptive to all body types. Some even prefer a thicker woman. Magazines are not true representations of society by any means and people think they need all the sh** they're selling to fill their empty lives. And that's all I have on that. Of course the above is true, but it depends on what magazine you are reading. Readers Digest has been one of the highest rating and most helpful magazines going for years. Most magazines on fashion, make-up, models, etc., are all of the above the other poster mentioned and they can write dangerous articles. I write articles so one has to be very careful that they believe in the project they are doing and allowed to exhibit the truth in their article be it for the good or bad. I won't take on a project where I have to lie.
