PERFECT - ROSALIND GILL KARTONIERT (TB)

Social media is replete with images of 'perfection'. But many are unrealistic  and contribute
to a pervasive sense of never being good enough: not thin enough  not pretty enough  not cool
enough. Try too hard and you risk being condemned for seeming desperate  don't try hard enough
and you're slacking. Rosalind Gill challenges polarised perspectives that see young women as
either passive victims of social media or as savvy digital natives. She argues the real picture
is far more ambivalent. Getting likes and followers and feeling connected to friends feels
fantastic  but posting material and worrying about 'haters' causes significant anxieties. Gill
uses young women's own words to show how they feel watched all the time  worry about getting
things wrong  and struggle to live up to an ideal of being 'perfect'. It's the wake-up call we
all need.
