We are not we think we are. We are not who others think we are. We are who we think others think we are. From a social theory perspective, this is the looking glass self as coined by Charles Horton Cooley in the early 1900s. The problem is that our expectations of who we are, and what we look like, are being framed through a media lens that causes problematic, and often mentally detrimental, expectations. This clip merges together cartoon images with real images to highlight the interplay between what we want and what we see.
