Images of models in Media is a positive effect on ordinary people.... or not?

Negative things:

Usually, women use to compare their own appearance to famous people and think they’re less attractive than the images they see when they look at these attractive images on social media. Although these comparisons can make women unhappy with their appearance and put them in a bad mood. Given body dissatisfaction is an important predictor for eating disorders, we need to know if some types of comparisons are worse for people’s body image than others.

And the effects might be different depending on the social media platform, as some are more image-based than others. Those that rely on images, like Instagram and Snapchat, provide people with more opportunities to make appearance comparisons and may be more harmful to women’s body image and mood.

 Positive things:

Social media can positively impact body image in several ways. Health and wellness, fitness, and plant-based food accounts can all be inspirational models for some users. Through these frameworks, social media users can maintain a healthy and positive outlook on their body image. Recently, the organization Eating Disorder Hope detailed how social media can potentially benefit the way women feel about their body image. Further, social media can help some users navigate the heavily stigmatized topic of body image with different support groups available across different platforms.

To summarize the effects can be different (positive or negative) depending on the person, for example in my case I don't usually compare my body with famous people because I think that my body is normal, Nevertheless, I have a friend who always compares to models and she hates her body because is not skinny so I think that if you're a person who loves your body you'll never be affected in this situation.

The media and life of public figures

    News and information on current events are some of the few most important things people look for every day. Reading the daily newspaper is as important as coffee in the morning, where huge headlines catch the interests of the readers. But what delivers this precious news? Media, the plural forum of the medium, describes any channel of communication and is used to spread important news and update the people.

    Media focus on different areas, one of them is the area of journalistic ethics which involves exhaustive fieldwork on group behavior in the processes for obtaining information, much less on media harassment of public figures. for example the diffusion of a photograph of Princess Diana in the Italian magazine Chi. The black-and-white image showed Diana, unconscious or already dead, while someone is giving her oxygen. They have been plagued with rampant sensationalism, unanimously condemning the diffusion of photographers. Perhaps It's hard for a normal private person to imagine the stress, anxiety, or oppressiveness caused by the constant harassment of reporters. Although it may be simply a form of virtual entertainment, the truth is that paparazzi are obstreperous.  

    On the other hand, Journalistic practices are really trying to find out the truth (information, the news story, etc). They have a significant role to play in responsible research and innovation. addition, keeping the public informed about leading scientific discoveries and engaging the public in authoritative clear debates about different kinds of issues.  However, media tools can be used to increase the exchange of information and knowledge. 

    To sum up, I think that celebrities have been victims of rough harassment. They deserve the same kind of privacy as a normal private person. However, the media has been one of the most important things in this world: they give us new information essential for the construction of important events and creating a perspective about facts. The final result will depend on the intention of the journal. Moreover, public figures are the principal stereotype for a lot of people so it's important to know about them and the type of person who has been.

One year ago I was planning to travel to Monterrey to turn out to cheer my favorite basketball team but I came across a big problem and my plans had been canceled. Anyway, I decided to continue planning the way I could travel to Monterrey but It looked impossible, however, I wasn't going to give up so I started to research Airbnb (on them, some people put you up for a few days and It's cheaper than a hotel). After some days I found a family who was available to accept me (You must be careful with this because some people came across as good people but they aren't). so my place in Monterrey was ready, now I just need to get a flight. I called a lot of travel agencies but they didn't get me what I wanted even though I put up with an angry manager. I was giving up until I received great notice. Aerolineas Mexico brought out a new plane and just for a short time the flight will be 70% off (I was really happy because this notice took me back when I traveled with my father, he used to be lucky with flights). Well, finally everything was ready and the big day had arrived. I put on a red skirt which brings out the color of my eyes. It turned out that It was for women, anyway I was really happy to waste time so I arrived at the airport and I said everything will be okay big mistake! I took my words back! My flight was delayed and I got lost at the airport. It was a mess! But finally, I boarded my flight and arrived in Monterrey!.
