Media Impact Awareness Co. is an organization that fights to show that the image that the media portrays is an unrealistic image of Human Identity. We want to show that the media is wrong in what they say is "beautiful" Everyone is beautiful and unique in there own way. The media portrays that to be happy you need to be a size 0 or super thin. This is not true. The media cuauses us to feel that there is an ideal image and if you do not reach that look you don't meet the standards of today's society. This cause people to have self-esteem problems and for their self-esteem to drop significantly and cause you to be very self-conscious or even depressed because you cant look like that. According to The National Institute on Media & Family young girls are being deluged by media images of skinny models: Girls are becoming weight conscious as young as 8 years old. 80% of 9 year olds are on diets. Eating disorders have grown 400% since 1970.
