MEDIA IMPACT

MEDIA RESEARCH PROJECT: Does our self-image obsessed society, take in a skewed view of whats normal? Do we have different views from people of different culture?


After reading countless magazines, the pictures of "normal" people in ads is an illusion. I want to do a research project to illustrate what us as a nation believe what is normal. I would do content analysis with various demographics in order to see trends in judgement. A random survey of people who enter a mall, would suffice. I would ask them to choose through a series of Picture A to Picture B questions, and at the end of the survey derive an answer based on there response. If I wanted to take it a step further I could go to another country and do the same thing. In our country a mirage of whats normal is placed, and I believe that it has become so embedded in our minds that the results would reflect that.
