Airbrushed images in magazines and linking weight to beauty in advertising is a trend that has persisted through the decades. It is simply manifesting itself more aggressively in the current age of social media through apps like Instagram and Snapchat. Chiara Sabina, associate professor in the department of women and gender studies, provided insight into how to fight self-esteem issues stemming from social media. “I think that we need to ask questions such as, ‘Who is making this?,’ ‘To what end are they making this image?,’ ‘What kind of values are they portraying through the image?’” Sabina says. “Once you start looking at images critically, you might see that the image has nothing to do with what they want to portray to you.” Many college students have issues recognizing the reality of images they see on social media, according to the University of South Wales study. More often than not, feedback from social media is what feeds either a positive or negative body image.
