Exercise 5 | 15 - Model behaviour | Outcomes Advanced - Student's Book | Textbook Answers

objectification: women are objectified in fashion photos / art; they sometimes engage in self- objectification by criticising themselves
selfies: a Dove advert asked teenagers to take selfies and analyse them, and the speaker suggests this is making people address their beauty in objectifying ways!
eating disorder: it’s suggested that eating disorders are connected to this self-objectification
manipulative: the speaker finds the Dove adverts manipulative (because they are selling ‘beauty products’); Tess Holliday’s campaign is less manipulative, but they are both selling beauty
a maths test: in an experiment, women who had previously had to try on a swimsuit did worse in the test than those who’d had to try on a sweater – the implication is that wearing a swimsuit created more self-objectification and anxiety which distracted them from doing the test well
shield: parents need to protect children from the fashion industry
skin-lightening: Dove’s parent company sells skin lightening products – it shows how they are encouraging people to conform to an idealised look
role model: parents are better role models than fashion if they don’t objectify women or self-objectify
