Recall a time when you recognized a false body image in the media. Describe the event and highlight one or more methods the media used to create the unrealistic depiction.

Answer:

Students should list an interaction with the media where they recognized an unrealistic depiction of body image. Examples may include a TV show they just watched, a magazine they read, or a celebrity site on the Internet. Students should be able to recognize in the example that the body image was either digitally/cosmetically altered or an extreme outlier in body type. Comments from either the media or other users that were negative about a person's appearance is another method students might recognize.
