Body Imaging
Contrasts
Consider an example for the understanding of the whole concept example, a person may
perceive themselves as ugly by face when they look fantastic or a boy perceives himself as a fit
when he looks overweight. This is relatable to the amount of satisfaction or dissatisfaction in
minds about shape, face, weight, and individual body parts. These feelings can be positive,
negative or both. These are two sides of the body imaging.
Conflicts in research
Research indicates that women have greater concerns around confidence and other issues
about their body weight, even though men have more ease for muscularity (Grogan, 2016). For
both mens’ and women's having chance of self -esteem are associated with different factors such
as the issues related to weight gain or lose and self-confidence is stronger among women's , and
with men , the concern related to self-esteem is associated with muscularity and their role in the
society.
Impact of mass (major)society theories
Mass society affects the behavior of humans by adjusting and taking a correlation with
the thoughts of humanity. As stated by Voelker, Reel & Greenleaf (2015), the ways adopted by
mass societies may or may not become like a burden on a person and hence it's necessary to
follow these rules and regulations. Hence with the perspective of every person is responsible for
the impact of mass society.
