Topic 1 Micro-aggressive Harm

In the long term, micro-aggression can make victims grow an aggressive behaviour themselves, as a defense mechanism and a means to respond to stress.

In many cases, when micro-aggression is related to a person’s body image, that person is likely to make drastic changes in order to fit in existing stereotypes and follow the fashion trends, from making a hair bun in order not to look too ‘Afro-style’ to following exhaustive diets, suffering from eating disorders, or even going through plastic surgery.
