New research out of Notre Dame is digging into why social media isn’t always good for us, especially if you’re young and female. Working as an educator, Carmen Papaluca observed a worrying trend with her students. In particular, social media was having a significant negative impacton her students’ mental health. For anyone who is a regular user of social media which is most of us these days, this won’t come as a surprise. With everyone sharing their ‘highlight reels’, Carmen observed, young women find it particularly hard to see their own lives or even their own bodies as good enough. Wanting to understand more about the issue and what could be done, Carmen began a Ph.D. At the University of Notre Dame.
The focus of her research is Instagram use among young women aged 18 to 25. One of the key findings of her work so far is that younger female Instagram users in her study, late teens and early 20s, found that images on the app made them feel most badly about their bodies. Furthermore, women who were slightly older (mid-20s) felt the inadequacy around their work and lifestyle.
In comparison to the images of the apparently fabulous social lives and careers of others on Instagram, they felt that their own lives “lacked meaning”. The blame of the perceived problems with new technologies gets put entirely on those new technologies. But if we want to find a real solution to these problems, we need to dig a bit deeper.
In other words, it’s not just Instagram that is the problem. It’s the social pressures put on young women that have been part of our culture for many years that are now becoming amplified by social mediaThe word "them" in paragraph 2 means?

In which paragraph does the writer start to give introduction about the observation of made by Carmen?
Human brain structure is composed of three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain, each with multiple parts.
The Cerebrum: Also known as the cerebral cortex, the cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain, and it is associated with higher brain fun
Frontal Lobe – The frontal lobe lies just beneath our forehead and is associated with our brain’s ability to reason, organize, plan, speak, move, make facial expressions, serial task, problem solve, control inhibition, spontaneity, initiate and self-regulate behaviors, pay attention, remember and control emotions.
Parietal Lobe – The parietal lobe is located at the upper rear of our brain, and controls our complex behaviors, including senses such as vision, touch, body awareness and spatial orientation. It plays important roles in integrating sensory information from various parts of our body, knowledge of numbers and their relations, and in the manipulation of objects. Portions are involved with our visuospatial processing, language comprehension, the ability to construct, body positioning and movement, neglect/inattention, left-right differentiation and self-awareness/insight.
Occipital Lobe – The occipital lobe is located at the back of our brain, and is associated with our visual processing, such as visual recognition, visual attention, spatial analysis (moving in a 3-D world) and visual perception of body language; such as postures, expressions and gestures.
Temporal Lobe – The temporal lobe is located near our ears, and is associated with processing our perception and recognition of auditory stimuli (including our ability to focus on one sound among many, like listening to one voice among many at a party), comprehending spoken language, verbal memory, visual memory and language production (including fluency and word-finding), general knowledge and autobiographical memories.
