Magazines

Magazines are another widely spread tactic of making people feel bad about themselves. Magazines do not intentionally make people feel this way, but it happens. Girls and guys flip through magazines and see images of what they wish they were when in reality what they are seeing is not even real. All magazines use airbrushing and thinning programs before they publish their magazines to make the magazine itself look better. It effects the looking glass self because people may feel just fine about themselves, but after seeing all of the "perfect" people they start to question themselves which isn't okay.

  1. Magazines are a really good example of the looking self theory. I myself look through magazines for ideas about how I could possibly change my look. I do this because I'm obviously concerned with how people look at me.
