We can notice trends of impression management as we take into account how people are portrayed in popular media. For instance, after watching television for at least 60 minutes and what are some of the information about the body shape, weight, and gender of the characters.
Consider and discuss: What body type trends emerged? With these physical characteristics in mind, who was presented most favorably? Most unfavorably? Were there different standards for women than for men? What were they? What did you learn about cultural definitions of desirable body shape and size? How does this affect your image of your own body? Do you believe the type of programming affected the type of image portrayed? Why or why not?
examples: anorexia, bulimia, etc.
