Which of the 8 rules of Media Literacy is illustrated in the Beauty and Body Image article? Why and how

1. The media construct reality
 It is construct reality because it talks about how the body of women works in the way we look at it.
The way media sends out a message to us about the good and bad of a women's body which makes us think it is true, but in reality, its just a media at its worst, as always.


2. The article on advertising to children is a great example of media constructing reality (#2 rule of Media Literacy). Can you think of an example of media constructed reality aimed at teens? Tell me what it is and how it constructs reality.


The way media can change a teens view is put a lot of effort in the way teen thinks these days. Like for instance, you can tell about a celebrity's good and bad anyway you like and who's to tell you that your wrong? Lets just say nobody can do anything about it because no one knows the truth to the lie its just all the way you look at it. They can change your view from computer, magazine, and television 


3. The commercial implications (#4) of media literacy are illustrated in The Economics of Ethnicity link. Do you think most media does a good job of showing what your real life is like? The number of minority people you see daily, the kinds of problems you have in real life, the way those problems get solved - are these things that you see in TV shows, movies and advertising?

  1. What about the last question? Your second answer doesn't contain any evidence that you read the article.
