Study Task 1: Triangulation and Harvard Referencing

Research sources:

Whilst researching different topics that fall under my quote I have found it very difficult to find information on the expectations for men in society as most articles and research are heavily focused on women and equality between men and women. This may be due to the stereotype that men are supposedly not greatly effected by expectations set out by the media and male figures featured in the media. I also need to do further research to fine more sources about consumer societies and how they are effected by media. In addition I have also found it difficult to find information on what people find socially desirable and what different people perceive as attractive. I would also be interested in finding out if theres certain characteristics in both men and women and are collectively found attractive such as good physical health and why that is.
