Media's Influence on Body Image

Check these videos out! After our class discussion about media and how they can influence a woman's idea of  the "perfect body" I went on YouTube and did a little searching. Turns out there are hundreds of clips about women and how media is a major body image influencer. What I find particularly interesting is how they can "change" the way a women looks by a simple new invention called Photoshop. Young girls everywhere are literally starving themselves because they cant look like the beautiful and skinny models in all the magazines when in actuality no one can ever look like that, at least not without being unhealthy. The second video posted is a comparison of BEFORE and AFTER Photoshop edits. And the third is a particularly interesting one I found showing you just how easy it is for magazine editors to trim INCHES off a celebrities waist while adding two cup sizes to their bust in just minutes. Please comment! Any thoughts or inputs you guys would like to add?
