Purpose of Presentation: My presentation and final paper is going to be about the popular website Pinterest. I believe that Pinterest plays a role in creating and regulating the societal norm of wedding and marital perfection as a goal that needs to be achieved. I’ve chosen to coin this term “Pinterest Perfection” – hence the title of my presentation.
