How does watching young influencers effect young women’s mental health?
I will be conducting interviews with women close to my age and asking how much time they spend on social media weekly – and how they notice it changed they’re mental perceptions or how it does. As well as continuing the plan I made for my study. It will be an intersting time to be recording my mental state during this stressful times of COVID-19 in the height of online learning. I will be looking at this topic in the context of these things as well as being a women with beauty standard being inrealistic and out of reach. The ethical side of this issue follows how influencers create a false reality of mental health and a fake perception of constantly appearing happy – forcing viewers to feel that way aswell.
The problem with my niche is i know influencers and social media can really effect young peoples mental state. I know its a problem in itself – but how much of a probloem is it to me. I really want to take on this ethnography study to know how I can react to mental health in my own digital artefact Chàe Media – it’s an important topic to talk about and I want to shed light on it in the correct way. I hope my ethnography study can bring light to the important of mental health amoung young people.
