Self Esteem and Body Image

Grade 6 are currently looking at a Health unit focusing on Self- Esteem and Body Image.

Our unit question is : WHAT IMAGE REALLY MATTERS?

We have been reviewing examples of photo-shopping to try to understand the media's influence on us and to learn to be wise consumers of what we see around us in the media.


Dove (yes, the brand) has been running  something called "The Campaign for Real Beauty" throughout the UK and USA.
Here is a video they have made called "Evolution"(click here). It shows how a normal woman can be made into what we can sometimes think is 'perfection' through the use of digital technology.


No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted.
