The Body Project is a research group by Bradley University that seeks to challenge the ideal body type and raise awareness of the negative consequences of this impossible standard. By their definition body image is just how we think and feel about our bodies. However, this constructed image has an impressive impact on our psyche and is an integral part of our identity. Their website aims to explain the causes and effects of unhealthy body image in both men and women, shedding light on how bodies are perceived from cultural and racial standpoints, and ultimately highlighting some of the most severe consequences of body image problems. The Body Project's ultimate goal is to help change these attitudes and equip people to fight back against unrealistic standards.
