Media has affected many people in many ways in today's society. If you you're not pretty, you're not worth other peoples time. They follow the latest trends and whether it's a teen to an adult, it still shows that they care about their appearances and how they present themselves in a way in this society. Don't get me wrong, there is not a problem with being one of those people. But there is a problem to those who always try and want to keep up with everyone else. It's basically a cycle, a new thing comes out, those who know about it will get their hands them. And then there are those who try and struggle just to fit in and shine among the rest. People don't realize that it's a vicious cycle affecting those who put themselves through the "monkey see, monkey do" round-a-bout. When those who are behind the bus actually try, most feel as if they out shine the rest when in reality, they are all the same with that new subject in sight. And though it's been seen by many, the new things that came out will be dirty socks and put away the next season, never to be taken out again.

"Among Kaiser's recommendations for moderating the media's role in childhood obesity:

Place limits on advertising aimed at preschoolers.

Eliminate cross-promotions between cartoon characters and unhealthy food products.

Provide "equal time" for messages on nutrition and fitness aimed at children." (Lallanila)

"The video adds fuel to an ongoing debate surrounding airbrushed models and how they can set unrealistic examples to impressionable young girls.

Last year, a group of teenage girls staged a protest outside Teen Vogue's offices, demanding that the fashion magazine publicly commit to using 'Photoshop-free, diverse images of real girls.'" (Abraham)
