From the large following of the Kardashians-Jenners to the presence of Barbie dolls in popular culture, it is easy to see what people find (and have found) beautiful. For most people, however, these beauty standards can be hard to achieve--and worse, the constant comparison of oneself to these standards begins at a young age. This course will look at all kinds of (unattainable) beauty standards and the ways in which they are diffused, including Instagram, television shows, and movies. We will also discuss how we may be able to approach-and potentially change--our understanding of beauty.
