I will go over somethings before I can answer this.
Why Does The Media Affect Our Body Image?
If a person is on television, say for a reporter or someone else, they might make you look <em>better </em>or <em>worse. </em>You can never appear on TV by "Just Being You." People will say to women, "Add makeup!" People will say to men <em>and women sometimes</em>, "Wear better clothing!" Now this isn't just to make you mad, ugly, or prettier. This is just how you want yourself to look like in over a thousand people's presence. If you are shy, you might actually want this. But it usually isn't who you are.
What Do Books Have On Our Appearance?
Now <em>books </em>are a different story. Books usually count on illustrations. Say you wrote a story about your love for butterflies. On the title cover, your title was "Butterflies and Me." Under this writing, your illustrator (you or someone else) drew you and a butterfly landing on your finger. This drawing could be realistic or cartoonish-it depends on you. How would you like to expose yourself in a book? Any realistic drawing couldn't be <em>you exactly-</em>but it would be close. Books will have a change on our appearance just by this.
Books Vs Media!
Books and media sometimes connect in a way. You write a story and someone makes a movie from your story. Say the main character is "I". <em>You </em>are the main character in your story. Now if you drew yourself in a book realistic-like, and then the movie made you exactly what you drew, that would be the only change in your appearance. But if you drew yourself cartoon, and the movie made you realistic, then you've got your own change. Your appearance on books and your appearance on movies are their own change-movies might be realistic or cartoon, and your book would be completely opposite.
The Final Answer Is...
The final answer is yes, books can contribute to this problem.
Slang, when used as a noun, refers to nonstandard terms or nonstandard usage of standard terms. Slang provides different symbols from which communication messages can be constructed. Slang is more than a noun though. Slang is a process. This means slang is also a verb. We slang as well as speak slang. The process of slanging involves the creation and use of slang. In everyday life, slang reflects the experiences, beliefs, and values of its speakers. Every new generation and subculture has a different vocabulary of slang words. As we slowly come out of adolescence we fade away from the use of slang. Items that we frequently encounter or are important to us are often given slang symbols. There are many terms to say something is good or bad and to evaluate people positively or negatively. Today, slang is also descriptive and contains many symbols for food or eating, money, effective or ineffective performance, relationships, intoxication, and places.
<span> Why do young adults speak slang? There is one simple reason. It's cool! Slang is cool in the sense of being in style. When we speak, we are communicating not only a message of what we are saying but also a message about who we believe we are, our identity. It is a type of performance and shows that the speaker is in tune with the times. A second reason for why slang is so cool is it lets us have a sense of being acceptable. People don't slang all of the time. Rather, the use of slang is reserved for circumstances that accept the use of slang. Usually, slang is used in informal environments and avoided in formal settings. This is because it could result in the person being judged negatively. </span>
