Journal #8
Reflect on two of the assigned readings and answer the following questions:
What were some main issues and key research findings in these readings?
What is the relationship between body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, and social media?
How might the male gaze in the media potentially influence boys’ and girls’ gendered interpersonal relationships, their self-image and self-identity?
Do you think there is body objectification and other similar issues in readings with regard to young boys? Can you name specific examples in media or personal issues/history regarding it?
