For my extended project, I initially decided I wanted to do something psychology related. I went through several ideas, such as looking into nature vs nurture on our personalities, but eventually I decided on looking into body image in the media. I want to research into the influence the media holds over how young people view themselves. I aim to look at 2 main points during my extended project:
· How the use of advertisements create a distorted and unattainable view of beauty and how people feel when they compare themselves to the advert
· How celebrities influence peoples perception of beauty
To collect data on my two points I aim to use questionnaires and interviews on other students to find out what they think.
