Seventeen, Self-Image, And Stereotypes - Vol 14 No 2 - Rethinking Schools Online The purpose of the unit is to help students consider more critically the role and influence of media, particularly the pervasive and intrusive nature of advertising, and how it conveys certain values, messages, and ideas that often perpetuate sexist, racist, and pro-capitalist points of view. The unit took seven weeks, covering topics from the image of women in advertising to what the Center for Media Literacy calls the "Myths of the Image Culture" (for example: "your body is not good enough," and "the 'good life' consists of things that require lots of money"). Sadly, these images are part of a culture in which one out of five women has a serious eating disorder such as anorexia; where adolescent girls increasingly have problems with low self-esteem; and where Blacks, especially women, have historically had serious problems and prejudices concerning the lightness and darkness of their skin. www.rethinkingschools.org /archive/14_02/sev142.shtml   (2028 words)

Self Image We may have an image of ourselves as a manager and we truly have the skills to back up that image, in contrast, a faulty self image can claim that we are skilled even though we are not, and so we enter situations that require superior skills, and we fail. If our self image says that we have a friendly personality, we behave in a friendly manner, and then people respond to us as they would respond to a friendly person, and our self concept is confirmed and solidified. After we propose a new self image in our minds, the process of selective awareness automatically seeks to prove the image's validity by interpreting events in such a way that the image is confirmed or denied. members.tripod.com /david_gregory/image.htm   (1586 words)
