In this day and age looking around the internet you will find a lot of information about Photoshop and Image perception, for our debate on Body Image I decided to look at the difference between men and women effected by Photoshop leading to a increase in the amount of eating disorders. The coverage is leaning more in the direction of women.
This website gives a good definition into Body Image what it is including negative and positive body images- National Eating Disorders website
This is a short film on YouTube featuring people talking about what they do not like about them selves with the use of data to explain the growing problem, they also use advertisement to show their point. It has a powerful point about the effect of eating disorders.
This an idea I have thought of for the VT's;
