Abstract

The research here tries to investigate the level of satisfaction of people with their own body and their view on the rest of society. In our article we analyze the role of body as a vehicle of socialization and, subsequently, of transmission of contents and discourses among society members. Firstly, we are trying to check the level of physical satisfaction and the view of the own body. Secondly, we will try to discover the viewpoint that society has of the rest of the people and the compatibility between those viewpoints. Thirdly, we will separate by sexes in order to investigate in a more detailed way the group of people that is affected by the worry about their own body. Lastly, the investigation will focus on the general opinion on the influence of the media amongst the view of the own physical image and the integration of people in several sports.
