On October 6, 2010, one of the world’s biggest platforms was created on this day. Instagram. This app was downloaded and is frequently used by over 2 billion people which increases each year. The way this app is used is, people upload pictures of themselves or a flourish colored sunset, and sometimes even cute dog pictures. Instagram is filled with crazy pictures that people just want to share with others. This particular app also contains pictures of models and people who do everything to look their best who have “ideal” bodies. Whether they share the picture because they like it or are taking pictures for big named companies, their body is well-liked on the internet and receives many views.
Many teens as well as adults like to compare their very own unique look to what seems to be the perfect reality for them. People try different vitamin regimen or weird combinations of liquids that they see on the internet to try to lose weight or get a slimmer waist but the question is, where did this come from? Why do people let a fraction of a second picture of someone on the screen affect them? Why does it matter? What changed throughout generations that made people more uncomfortable with their bodies? How is it different today? Does social media affect this issue in a positive or negative way and why?
Bianca, I’ve left feedback in Canvas on this assignment (Research Paper Blog 1: Proposal Draft). I thought I had already left it here, but I don’t see it now. My apologies!
You should wait and submit RP Blog 3 (the revised proposal) until you’ve found a few sources that you know will be important for your essay. I’ve left feedback about that process as well!
