Social Media’s Influence on Body Image

It is very easy for many young women to compare themselves to the images of models, celebrities, and influencers without realizing just how damaging the comparison is to themselves. Mostly everything that is posted on social media has gone through some extent of editing. Not even the people who post edited photos of themselves look like that and they know it. The harm that is caused to the audience of social media is unhealthy and can only lead to issues with their own bodies. The comparison of bodies, why certain body parts do not look like those they view on the internet. Unnecessary surgeries taking place for women who do not need it. Plastic surgery is very normalized within this generation and most of it is due to social media glorifying it.

1.) Why is the youth so easily influenced by social media?
2.) In what ways has social media caused for insecurity to increase?
3.) What are the affects of issues with body image?
4.) Does social media lead to most body issues?

Case Study presention

Overview: Students will present a case study based on the Pearson family from “This is Us”. “This Is Us” is a unique show. It details the lives of the Pearson family over a span of 35 years. In order to complete the case study assignment, I would like you to approach the family from the perspective of current day (when Randall, Kate and Kevin are adults). When you consider the family from this perspective you will be able to use all the information shared in the show. It will be as if you’ve had 10 sessions with the family and fully appreciate all the family history and dynamics. I realize that as adults the family members do not actually live in the same city. However, we are going to pretend that they can attend family therapy together on a regular basis. Your primary clients are Rebecca, Kate, Kevin and Randall. They are seeking treatment to resolve the conflict between members of the family and improve overall communication. This is a complicated family system. As such, it is a perfect case to present in clinical supervision. Imagine that I am your clinical supervisor. You are presenting this case to me in clinical supervision. Obviously, we cannot meet face to face; therefore, you are going to create a PowerPoint presentation using the outline below. Please submit the completed assignment to the Assignment folder.
