Re: Portrayal of women: (split)

On Thursday Moorhead held a fit or wot! day. All students were off normal timetable and in place of normal lessons had various lessons about staying fit and healthy. One of the year 9 lessons was about body image and how the media portray the 'perfect body'. Students were told how the media airbrush photo's before publication and that in reality they are not a true representation of a normal healthy woman. They were shown a photo of an actress and then a front cover of a magazine with the same actress so that they could see the difference. They were also given many facts eg. three billion people do not have the figure of a super model, only eight do!
I showed them the photo that Garinda posted and they said it made them feel sick
