What really sticks with me from this course is how society easily downgrades women. I never realized how much pressure through the media that is put upon a female to achieve a perfect image. As a male I get self conscious myself, it could be from the past knowledge I learned from growing up or just a natural feeling I have. I don't really pin point it on the media that I see today, but how the media emphasizes the perfect women I cant imaging how it would be if it was the other way around for men. If being self conscious was just a natural feeling, the media definitely enhanced that feeling for women over men and put a far more pressure to achieve a certain appearance.
