The video for the song Try discusses the negative impact of society. Throughout the song the lyrics say “Do they like you?” and to “get your nails done.” Society is constantly painting a picture of what people should look like, with things like social media and beauty products showing flawless looking men and women.

There is too much pressure on young girls to have the “perfect body.” Most teenage girls these days have very low self-esteem and a bad body image. This “ideal.” body that society has pushed onto not just teenagers but young kids as well. Is saddening. It doesn’t help that young girls have exposure to social media, magazines, and also look up to celebrity role models with the “ideal.” body. Even toys like Barbie dolls, have thin bodies. I feel as if kids are surrounded by these unrealistic…

From Disney movies like Cinderella to Frozen, it promotes that girls were suppose to be…

Tommy is brain dead, while his body remains totally functional, while Sam’s body is completely destroyed, but has perfect brain function. This surgery can cure all of Tommy’s behavioural problems, but the real concerns appear to be more ethical rather than the medical complications that may arise. The following dialogue is my interview with John Perry discussing this controversial procedure. The interview…

Everyone says that women should be themselves and express who they are. However, that’s not always true. Society kills women with this idea of beauty making each of them wish that they were a mere copy of someone else instead of themselves. Women, especially teenagers that are becoming women, are faced with a lot of pressures from their peers and society. Women are either too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat, they seem to have too many imperfections. All of these ideas about women just need…

magazines are changing the way society views body image. Social media is promoting an unhealthy body image amongst young children and adults. It is demoralizing the brains of young children and teens by displaying a false image. Instead, the media should promote that all body types are acceptable.
