The topic I am really interested in writing my research paper on is on Instagram and how it affects the way women view their bodies. The question that I will research is does Instagram really have an effect on the way women look at their body. I feel like the answer to this question is yes. From personal experience, I can say that I have looked at a female social influencers account and found myself feeling ashamed of my body type and yet I still continue to follow these sort of Instagram accounts with models that almost look too flawless to be real. I also know that these social influencers will try to sell teas and lollipops to help “get the same body “that they have. They have the market to sell these products to and I think it does help promote body issues. I didn’t use to stop and worry about if my body looked good enough and granted the college freshman fifteen has gotten the best of me I’m still in relatively good shape, but as more and more of the social influencer pop up with their cosmetically altered bodies and their “all natural” teas I have found myself comparing what I look like to what these women look like. So, in my opinion yes Instagram does affect the way women view their bodies and I know it is not just women who feel this way to but for my research paper I’m going to be focusing specifically on women because I feel like I can personally relate to this topic. My audience for this paper is going to be the women who are regularly affected by Instagram and might feel negatively about their body. In my opinion, this age group is women from ages 15 to 30 years old.
