I need solid sources talking about how television effects society's perception of beauty?

It's for a research paper. I have checked several websites and books, but am having trouble finding a connection between the two things.I need solid sources talking about how television effects society's perception of beauty?
There are few books that actually have the title of your thesis on its front cover. But here are a few books that cover men and women's perceptions in the mass media. Check em out. Just go to the back of the books, look up television. The books might not explicitly say the effects, but make deductions!





Good luck!

I feel that television effects society s perception in many ways. Teenagers feel that they have to look a certain way as say singing stars or young actresses. there for there self esteem becomes low if they feel they dint perseve themselves as adiquite. I then find they try to dress and some times act like some of the singers they see on televison which in reality they are not thier own charactures . They are trying to become like someone else. Not themselves. I recall when my son was eight years old he would watch the movie the Titanic over and over again trying to dress like him and talk lilke him and i find this very intreging as his personality to this day is some what like him protectiing women which is a positive way of looking at a movie.
