Assignment #3--Essay
Using the article we did in class (Shawn Johnson), the video (Killing Us Softly 4), the music video (Masterpiece), the body enhancement project and any other sources you want to find, you are going to write a 3-5 PARAGRAPH Essay.

Using SPECIFIC (TEXT) EVIDENCE from the resources above write a well constructed essay that explains how the images in the media affect body image of both men and women. You can look at this from a variety of perspectives:
 * How do expectations from men about women become unreasonable based on what they see in the media?
 * How do expectations from women about women become unreasonable based on what they see in the media?
 * How do for profit companies benefit from the concept of negative body image?
 * What is being done in the media to COUNTER negative body image by men and women.

Your first paragraph should be an introduction, the second should show what you think with specific reasons why and then you must have a conclusion for the final paragraph.

This is due in class today. You will need to focus to make sure it will well written.
