View a TV program during prime time. Observe the body image messages in the program and the advertisements. Count the images that convey a ‘thin' body image for women and a ‘muscular' body image for men. How many images in a half hour perpetuated unrealistic body images? Were they different for men and women? Explain. What were the messages associated with body image (e.g., if you are muscular you will be surrounded by fun and women)? What messages were conveyed regarding alcohol and substance use? What impact do you think these types of messages have in our culture?
