Social Standards & Stereotypes - S4 E13

<p><strong>Social standards = shared norms of acceptable behavior by social groups. Social norms/standards can be informal as well coded into rules and laws.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>This week's hosts, Connor and Sparsh, invite classmates Ketav and Atmaj in for a discussion about the social standards we endure, both created by ourselves and forced on us from others. The 8th graders give valuable insight on self-awareness, appearance expectations, obsessive and perfectionist behavior, body dysmorphic disorder, gender differences, social group influences, judgment from peers, popularity, racial stereotypes, coping strategies, and more.</p> <p><strong>RESOURCES<br> </strong><a href="https://thelibertylivewire.com/2655/features/are-societys-new-expectations-of-teens-too-much/" target="_blank">Are Society's New Expectations of Teens Too Much?</a> - The Live Wire<br> <a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/body-dysmorphic-disorder" target="_blank">Body Dysmorphic Disorder</a> - Johns Hopkins Medicine<br> <a href="https://www.lowellsun.com/2021/12/15/we-are-the-ones-failing-our-teens-not-social-media/" target="_blank">We Are the Ones Failing Our Teens, Not Social Media</a> - Lowell Sun Opinion</p> <p>Tune in next week for a new topic and a new set of guests.
