What Media Does…
Images of attractive men and women are used to sell products.
Sexual innuendos are included in advertising.
Inaccurate and unrealistic views on relationships and body images.

We tend to regard our own culture’s customs as highly “civilized” and others’ as
“savage”.
Cultural Ethnocentrism

Is what other cultures “do” to alter their appearance really that big of a stretch for us? Is it really “weird?” Is it really “savage?” Is it really that much different than our own culture?
