Of all the components that play a role in determining a person's self image, the perception that she/he has of their body and physical appearance is one of the more essential considerations. Such perceptions are not formed in isolation, but in response to socio-cultural stimuli present around us. One of the more impactful of these is the media. To explore this relationship, this study aims to uncover the role of media on body image. For this purpose, two short videos depicting body positivity and unrealistic beauty standards present in the media and two standard questionnaires were used to assess media influence on a sample of 100 people between the ages of 18 and 24. Results revealed that while desires to alter their appearance for the better existed among the women, a significant relationship existed only between positive media representation and not for the unrealistic beauty standards.Keywords

Morality concerns and applies to us through the social system we are a part of. Morals are the defining principles of what is right and wrong. They are learned through the process of socialization, from family, society and through observation. Thus, morality becomes ability, skill and a thought process that enables one to take right moral decisions and exhibit moral behaviour. Serving Patriarchal system; morals for women in our society are largely defined in an androcentric manner and the gender dichotomy in moral orientation remains strong. This study, using literature review is an attempt to reflect upon the kinds of moral values a female in our society is ingrained with and psychological vulnerabilities associated with it; which can help us understand the genesis of day-to-day problematic issues and challenges faced by women today affecting their well-being.Keywords
