Health - Media Portrayal of Body Image

How do magazines and other forms of advertising place pressure on people to be thin, strong, or muscular?
I want you to notice if visible minorities or people with physical disabilities are portrayed in the media. 
What you see in the media, how does this make you feel and influence your body image and how does that influence your food choices?
In your collages how are people similar or different to each other?
How real people (people you know) are similar or different to fashion models, sports figures and celebrities?

Some themes to consider when analyzing your collage:
Women and men's portrayal in the fashion media
Sports figures and celebrities in the media
Real people like parents, siblings, and neighbors in the media

What are advantages of being unique and being your own person?
