THE IMPACT OF THE MEDIA ON BAD BODY IMAGE IN CHILDREN
Today ’s children grow up in a world flooded with the mass media. Statistics reveal that, on average , a child watches up to 5 h of television per day and spends an average of 6 to 7 h viewing the various media combined. Body image issues have been on the rise rince the introduction of social media websites that hoste the idea of „ perfect “ or „idealized“ body sizes.
Over the past 20 years, several articles have proposed a link between the thin female beauty ideal and the muscular male body ideal portrayed in the media with a range of psychological symptomatology including body dissatisfaction and eating disorders . Over time the cultural ideal for women ’s body size and shape has become considerably thinner and leaner and men’s body size and shape has become stronger and more muscular.
Websites such as Tumblr, Lookbook , Instagram and also Facebook feature photos that can be recognized as harmful towards any person with a mental disorder. However , they can also be recognized as causes for eating disorders and depression . Just to show how bad the situation is, I kindly ask you to do a litle test. Just pull out your cell phones or laptops. Access your Instagram App and go to the "Explore" page. Refresh the page. Now count the number of photos that refer to some type of body image. The average number of photos related to body image on the explore page is 6. Now search the hashtags; Thinsporation, Proanorexia, Probelemia and Thigh Gap. Did anything come up? If you have a Tumblr, access your app and find the search page. Now that youre at the search page, type in "Thigh Gap". What is the message that popped up?
Research studies have shown that young people frequently report body dissatisfaction, with adolescent girls experiencing more body dissatisfaction than boys . Adolescent girls generally want to weigh less, while adolescent boys want to be bigger and stronger.
Physicians should regularly inquire about media involved behaviours including television watching , video watching, the use of video games, time spent in front of the computer and listening to radio programs, and types of magazines read.
Those concerned about the media’s negative impact on body image, self- esteem , food, dieting and eating disorders need to consider a number of different interventions such as health communication campaigns , entertainment education, media advocacy and media literacy training. Such interventions need to be evaluated with respect to the media’s portrayal of the idealized and unattainable images of beauty that young people are exposed to and its impact on disordered eating behaviours and eating disorders.
While the media may contribute to the development of weight concerns and body dissatisfaction in children and adolescents, we cannot disregard the fact that media can also be used as an important tool for health promotion and prevention strategies.
In the end I hope my research allows people to better understand the subject of body image issues. I hope to make a connection between gender and negative body image in order to emphasize the idea that both genders deal with this problem. I hope to make the point that children are beginning to battle negative thoughts regarding their bodies as well. I want to educate others on the subject and alert them in order to one day make a difference in our society.

Body image is the perception of one's own body, based chiefly in comparison to socially constructed standards or ideals The way you perceive yourself How you feel IN your body What you believe about your appearance What is the issue? Negative body image is important to recognize because often, whether the person has control over the issue or not, it leads to harmful results.

Body Shaming

“instantly,” and hide our “imperfections”… without actually knowing anything about us, much less our appearance. This is one example of body-shaming, and it is everywhere. It has become the norm to criticize aspects of our bodies as some type of bonding experience with friends – if we all hate our bodies; it somehow makes us feel connected and united. Body-shaming can lead to a vicious cycle of judgment and criticism. Messages from the media and from each other often imply that we should​ want to change, that we​ should ​care about looking slimmer, smaller, and tanner. And if we don’t, we worry that we are at risk of being the target of someone else’s body-shaming comments. Body-shaming manifests in many ways: Like Criticizing your own appearance, through a judgment or comparison to another person, Criticizing another’s appearance in front of them​ ​or Criticizing another’s appearance without their knowledge.

Social media information and data collection and security

New Media Economy Social media information and data collection and security In this brief essay, i would like to focus on the social media platforms in our moren society. How people use them, what kind of information we give away, what companies will do with this. Information sharing and data protection has become very popular theme in the recent few years. People care more about their privacy and avoid „big brother“ foreshadowing. It is important to know what social media platforms promise and are they really going to keep it. Users should think about what they share and what kind of information they generate. Because it is all recorded and some info can be traced back to real people. Privacy and data protecion topics are becoming more and more important and the amouts of data generated is becoming larger. When wrongly access this kind of data, a lot damage could be done by criminals. Users privacy settings should be reviewd and fixed when needed.
