︎︎︎ The Standard
Digital devices and new communication
media have become increasingly
important in our daily life. It is particularly
important to analyse the role of social networks
and their impact on people’s mindset. Originally
created to connect with friends and family, today
social networks are platforms where we consume
incredible amounts of media and content.
Social media gradually progressed into setting beauty
standards and has started to impact people’s self esteem, as well as their tendencies to depression,
and anxiety because of body image dissatisfaction.
The
mainstream female image, becomes an oppressive
negative referent for
girls and women who
cannot escape it easily.
