Sarah's Prospectus

I would like to argue that the images shown by the fashion and advertising industries have a negative affect in young women’s views of themselves with a focus on the particular focus on the aspect of their weight. Also, because all cultures have their own depictions of ideal beauty, I would like to research the media’s effect on different cultures within America; including Asian, Mexican, and American itself. In researching this, I would like to look at the lengths that these targeted women go to in order to fit these roles that the media portrays; such as eating disorders, and how/if these differ between the different American cultures.
