Week 11 Number 2

One naysayer that I have thought about that would come up in my paper would be that the media isn’t at fault for the eating disorders. Some would say that not every body image is portrayed in the idea that it is perfect and everyone should be thin in order to be beautiful. I agree with this, that yes not every person that is put in the media is the “perfect” body type, but at the same time I don’t think that the media is putting images out there of girls that are thought of as what the youth want to be. It seems to me that nearly every magazine you flip through shows skinny and happy people. They make it seem that you can only be happy when your skinny which I don’t agree with at all. I think that this doesn’t affect my thesis in a bad way if anything I would say it supports it.
