The research paper for my English class was about body shaming in China and my target group is Chinese women. Body shaming is when people do not appreciate their body and not confident about their body shape. I started my paper by states culture and social media play an important role in body shaming and we live in an image-heavy society online and in person. I shared my personal experience to engage the audience. Next, I discussed how body shaming negatively impacts women’s physical health and the role of social media. Because of the influence of social media, Chinese women are under pressure and insecure which caused mental health problems. Furthermore, I discuss the survey I have created to ask people about their experience of body shaming which I found out most people are judged by other because of their body shape and appearance. Body shaming is caused by beauty stereotypes. As a result, I discussed one of the beauty stereotypes in China which is double eyelids, and many parents willing to pay for double eyelids surgery. In addition, I mentioned the risk of surgery. Finally, I make a conclusion based on my research and I encouraged body positivity.
