Hello,
Some people wrote that the images and videos made them feel like they wanted to go on a diet. This was not the intention of showing them, but it does prove the point: Feeling that you should be prettier or skinnier is the effect that the media has on women. It is very difficult to escape this feeling.
The video and images from today were meant to bring awareness and to empower you, not to make you feel bad or not good enough. You can still choose to go on a diet, exercise, and shop. But it's also important to be aware of where those desires come from - to be aware of the causes of your feelings.
When we are aware of the effect that advertising and media have on us, we can make important decisions based on all the information, rather than acting based on only fabricated appearances that were designed to manipulate and control us.
Here's the PPT: Cause and Effect
And here is just the video if you'd like to share it or watch it again: Video
See you Friday!
