In the speech “Body Image,” Senator Penny Wright discusses the effect of negative body image among Australia’s youth. She points out that the desire to have a perfect body has led to many health issues and cases of depression among young people in Australia.

Wright uses an example of a young girl with eating disorders to describe the health risks related to negative body image. She explains that one of the biggest causes of negative body image among youths is the unrealistic beauty standard the media sets. People with negative body image are prone to eating disorders that can cause serious health issues.

Senator Wright’s point is that people should understand the false imagery the media creates, take pride in themselves, and feel positive about their bodies.
