What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

This week I will present with my social justice group, about our topic Social Media and Body Image. We had a few articals about this critical issue and I am excited to show my classmates all that we learned so far. This issue is really important to me, because so many of us are on social media, we are all greatly affected by the things we scroll past every day. People trying to promote and live up to certain body types as well as shaming those who don’t have that body type is having an extremely negative impact on young girls and women. Since our group members all experience this first hand, we are devoted to learning more about it and coming up with potential solutions.
