This is a pretty simple video about how media has influences male body
image. It shows the results of using steroids
and how huge muscles have now become the new male norm and how steroids are
used to reach this norm.
I found this relevant to our module on male body image. I personally find these body images unappealing. But children, teens and young adults see these
images and try to replicate them.
Just recently Lance Armstrong conceded to using steroids, causing
a huge scandal. There are also constant
scandals of other professional athletes using steroids. young people idealize these athletes. These
athletes are sending the message that you can only achieve status and wealth by
using drugs to alter your body and/or your performance.
