Self Image 3

Consider some of the social pressures that you think may shape your behavior and personal image. List the images most commonly associated with the categories or ‘boxes’ you have already listed in Activity 1. 

How have you responded to social pressures to conform by adopting an appearance that relates to the categories that you feel you have placed in or have chosen? 

Some social pressure that have i have seen or experienced is a pretty common one which is body weight. With our society today there is an image of perfection that we all try to get. For some it is to lose weight and for others it is to gain weight. Now that might be muscle or fat but most people can say that they would change something about the overall look of their body. I have not experienced much of this first hand, though I fill in more, but I have seen friends suffer from this. I don't think this is fair but sadly it is the way that it is.
