Senior Project Proposal
Proposed Topic in the form of an Essential Question:
How has the media's perception of the perfect man and woman effected society?
Rationale for Choice
What about this topic appeals to you? Why did you choose it?
This topic appeals to me because I always look at magazines and movies and look at the men and women and always wonder what it takes for people to look like that.
What do you already know about this subject?
The perception of perfection in the media these days have gotten normal people to resort to anorexia and bulimia to become like the people in the magazines and on tv.
What are you hoping to learn about the subject?
I am hoping to learn what the celebrities/models go through to become the way they are and what is real and what isn't real and how I can help the people know that they are beautiful the way they are.
What are you most interested in regarding the topic?
I am mostly interested in picking at the "perfection" to show people the truth so they do not torture themselves anymore to look like the person in the picture/screen.
What potential risks or challenges do you foresee for your project?
The challenges or risks I can see coming are probably figuring out what I would do for the volunteer hours and also finding a lot of information and sources.
There are many sources that discuss the positive and negative effects of media on a person's self image. You'll find a lot of articles as well that discuss this. As to community service, you could pass out pamphlets or hold a discussion that promotes a stronger image of self.
