Socialization Week 3

According to Milkie " The Impact of Pervasive Beauty Images on Black and White Girls' Self-Concept",I thought it was very interesting how the study that was used by seeing the affect magazines and medias version of how you should look affect the black girls and the white girls in there sense of self concept. I thought it was very interesting how the black girls cared less,and actually deferred from the images saying there were "unrealistic" "fake" ,and such. I can see how they would feel that way because in there ethnic community that being "skinny" is not everything. Unlike the white girls who said that they did not agree with the media,but were the ones wanting too look identical or be skinny. The white girls actually had more eating disorders,and self image issues. I personally really connect with this issue because I am a Group Leader and Program Coordinator for an all girls weight loss camp. I see all of these issues all summer long,and it is a battle I am trying to put a full forced effort in fighting against,
