Write a 5 pages paper on ideal body image, modeled by mass media. People are taking the image of the body as a form of social status and a way to be acceptable by the society. Social acceptability in this age and era is purely being based on the appearance of an individual from the face and how they generally look. The consumers do not need to be told about this in verbal form but simply have to watch the nonverbal communication cues that people with certain body types receive that are not given to others.Bell, et al. (2010) on the other hand has the same description of the consumer culture of especially the teenagers that is attained through watching of music videos. The article is based on a research carried out on young adolescent girls between the ages of 16 and 19 years and the level of dissatisfaction they get from their body images after watching music videos of scantily dressed girls with my body shape and type that seems to be acceptable by all and viewed as being perfect. The ones who do not observe the music videos do not have the body dissatisfaction and feelings of unacceptability leading to the conclusion that observation and exposure are what is causing the body images problems.The two articles by Featherstone (2010) and Bell, et al. (2007) are similar in their discussion and conclusion about the body images being affected much as a result of nonverbal communication especially from the videos and photos in the different media mediums. According to these nonverbal communication channels, the only socially acceptable body images is that of being thin and depict a model-like body as this brings out the perception of being sexy and beautiful. Anything other than this and the nonverbal communication cues indicating unacceptability will follow. The two indicate that people are aiming to transform their bodies in a bid to fit the socially accepted body image which is depicted by the media.New media technology such as the digital video art which many have embarked upon to change their appearance such as it appears on the social media and other media platforms are deceiving the rest of the consumers about the perfection of those they are viewing on videos and photographs.
