In your discussion, consider the following items:

1. Identify the visual elements that may show digital alteration.
2. Describe how these visual digital alterations send a negative social message to viewers.
3. Discuss which viewers may be affected more than others and why (male v. female, child v. adult, etc).
4. Describe how these negative visual stereotypes perpetuate negative social perceptions, particularly for younger children in future generations.

*Remember--- Analysis requires that you substantiate your ideas with quotes from academic sources and experts in the field. Analysis without substantiated evidence is opinion. Use your etextbook, another academic article or source, or a career or real-life example to support your analysis points in your initial discussion post to demonstrate your full comprehension of the topics.
