In 2002, Marika Tiggemann conducted a study investigating the effect of viewing televised images of female attractiveness on the body dissatisfaction of young adolescent girls. Her research found that in the United States, 94 percent of female characters in television programs are thinner than the average American woman (e.g Gonzalez-Lavin & Smolak,) who the media commonly collaborates with happiness, allurement, and overall success in life. (Tiggemann). The “Thin Ideal” within the media is said to be one of the biggest reasons for this. The media depicts images of what a woman should look like rather than regarding what a healthy woman looks like. Many women of American society strive to attain the mainstream. It’s most commonly found that physical appearance is the biggest deciding factor of self-evaluation within high school and college females. The media doesn’t just affect college and high school females. In a study at the University of Central Florida, nearly 50% of girls aged as young as three to six expressed being uncomfortable and unhappy with their weight and appearance. In the study, images on body dissatisfaction seemed “somewhat greater” in females younger than 19 rather than woman of college age or older. Even Though, only 5 out of the 26 studies conducted included adolescent girls, body dissatisfaction can be defined as a perceptive component of body image, as a difference between ideal body and a current body size (http://www.nedc.com.au/body-image). In an article by Duane Hargraves, The Effect of “Thin Ideal” Television Commercials on Body Dissatisfaction During Early Adolescence, he discusses how body dissatisfaction increases most significantly between the ages of 13 and 15, but remained the same until age 18. It is said that this “social feedback” is being taken in at it’s highest point. We are affected by the role models that are set before us and are expected to go by their looks and the standards they set; whether it be through an outlet of magazine’s, model’s, public figure’s, or television and music video’s. A fictitious idea of beauty is also a large factor in this body dissatisfaction outrage. In The Social Construction of Reality, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann describe identity as a “phenomenon that emerges from the dialect between individual and society”. The individual representing true beauty and the society, or media, representing what society thinks the attractive woman should look like, even when that standard, in most cases, is unachieveable. The real idea of beauty is being destroyed by the media’s fictitious idea what the average woman should look like (Westernized Beauty), which in turn, leads to body-dissatisfaction and mental as well as sexual health problems. Long-term and frequent exposure to media and images that sexualize female’s and affects what girl’s conceptualize as femininity and sexuality. Female’s more consumed by mainstream and medial contents offer an endorsement of a more sexual stereotype that depicts a woman as a sexual object. From extremely young ages, media is persuading girls to be more focused on their looks and ultimately their sex appeal. The sexualization of young women and girls is overly prominent in the advertising world.“At the same time that we allow our children to be sexualized, we refuse to educate them about sex. The United States is the only developed nation in the world that doesn?t teach sex education in the schools. And our children pay a very high price – we have the highest rates of teen pregnancy and the highest rates of sexually transmitted illnesses by far in the developed world.” (Kilbourne)An important part of a healthy development and overall well-being is a sexual well-being, although there is evidence of sexualization having negative consequences especially by way of a adolescent female’s ability to develop their sexuality in a healthy manner. There is a prominent link between the self-objectification as well as a decline in sexual health among the adolescent female. (e.g decreased condom use and sexual assertiveness. Impett, Schooler, & Tolman,) Not stopping at females, exposure to narrow ideals of of attractiveness of a female may lead men to find it to difficult to find an “acceptable” partner or to fully enjoy themselves in inti
