Media pressure refers to the influence that various forms of media, such as television, social media, and newspapers, can exert on individuals and society. This pressure often manifests as unrealistic standards or expectations regarding appearance, behavior, and lifestyle, leading people to feel compelled to conform to these ideals. The impact of media pressure can be significant, affecting mental health and self-esteem. For example, constant exposure to curated images of celebrities or influencers can create feelings of inadequacy among viewers. As a result, individuals may engage in unhealthy behaviors to meet these perceived standards, highlighting the need for critical media literacy.
