Do you use Instagram? Tik Tok? The internet in general? Chances are you have, and at some point you have been confronted with many beautiful people, but how real are the pictures you're seeing? In this course, we will be looking at how social media contributes to unrealistic beauty standards, the effects it has on its younger audiences, and how we can become more media literate. Our goal is to walk away with a better understanding of the role social media plays in influencing modern beauty standards and trends.
