FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
| The media "[promotes] false images" to teenagers and young adults which potentially leads to the increase of "eating disorders and [encourages] an irrational fear of being fat" (Martin). |
| Because our youth is "bombarded with media advertisements from the food, fashion, and cosmetic [industries]" they feel as though society pressures them to mirror the images portrayed, moreover creating an adverse self-implemented environment to achieve perfection (Martin). |
| Not only do advertisments and television shows alter young people's perception of beauty, but also video games design women to "appear more attractive and slender and are often minimally clothed" (Martin). |
| Children begin developing an image of the ideal body figure at a young age "from playing with ultrathin dolls with an unnatural body proportion and an unhealthy BMI" (Martin). |
| Women who failed to fulfill their cultural standards for their figure are more likely to suffer from "negative emotional consequences, body shame, and [disordered] eating behaviors" (Martin). |

Not only does television and advertisements have an impact on confindence, but other forms of media such as video games take a toll.
