Music Videos 
Music videos have a huge impact on society, especially young poeple. Girls in particular have many role models in the popular industry. These icons such as Miley Cyrus have pervocative music videos, probably for the attention from the media, but don't consider young girls who look up to her.

 

 

Magazines 

Magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Ok!, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, all have a strong influence on gierls and woomen in particular with their false representation of how we should look and what we should wear.

 

Photoshop

Photoshop it a massive issue in the media, as majority of magazine images are photoshopped, making the image become untrue and fake. This increases pressure of both men and women to improve their appearance or even to try and look like someone deemed beautiful. These 'beautiful' people are often those with slim figures, long legs and a full bust. And typically on mens magazines such as Mens Health, there will be a perfectly muscular, buffed image on the cover.
