Reflection of Lit Review

I learned a lot from all of my findings; I learned that most often, if not all the time, media has a huge impact on teenage girls' body images. Magazines, television, and music videos are three primary sources of media that influence girls. Most of the time, teenagers do not realize that the images displayed in the media are altered, meaning that they have been airbrushed and distorted to make it look perfect. Girls then assume that they have to live up to this perfect world, when in reality, this is not the case. It was really hard for me to organize my lit review, and I am still thinking of a way to do this. I don't know how to organize it because there are not many topics within my question. I think it is important to include the lit review because it proves that you have researched and can explain your topic. Not many people know the true facts of how the media effects teenagers, so I think it is important to educate everyone on this information. I had previous knowledge about eating disorders and thats what spurred my idea to focus specifically on the media and body image. In my own findings, I might interview different girls throughout the university, interview my friend who had an eating disorder, and analyze different magazine ads to see how they portray women. I would like to find out if girls can relate to this topic of if the media influences their views of themselves. In my research I found that when girls viewed a picture of an underweight model, they soon began to feel negatively about themselves.
