For the blog this week, I want you to reflect on the concept of beauty and self-image that we have been reading about in the essays from Mirror on America. Post an example of a video or picture from the media that represents a certain idea of beauty or body image. Then, write a paragraph reflecting on how this image reflects standards of beauty, or beauty in North American culture. Is it being used to try to sell a product, and if so, is it effective? Do you agree or disagree with the way this image is used?
To post an image, hit "new post," then click on the "add image" icon (looks like a mountain with sky) above where you type the text. From there you can insert a URL to an image, or you can insert an image saved to the computer. To add a video, if you use Youtube, you will need to copy and paste the code where it says "embed" into the text. Please, no videos over 3 minutes! And of course, no nude images - make it PG-13.
This week, you do not need to comment on others' posts - only if you want to!
