Question

The American Medical Association recently encouraged the magazine industry to discontinue its practice of digitally altering women's bodies because those altered images create unrealistic expectations in girls and can lead to

eating disorders and other childhood and adolescent health problems. T/F

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Advertisers commonly edit images in order to give their model a perfect shape making the image look unrealistic hence having a bad impression on children and adolescents having an unreal expectation of the perfect body shape.

The American Medical Association had to take a stand against it and encourage ad associations to work with public and private health groups to develop guidelines deterring ads photoshopped beyond reality especially in publication oriented towards teenagers.
