Even though many fashion shows councils are now conducting screening on models for eating disorders, they should look to change the way young teens think.

  1. Hey Claudy, I like your conclusion and the intro has improved. Your main points are all valid but just a suggestion, try to incorporate models somewhere near the beginning main points as well. Keep up the good work

  2. Good work Claudy, sure you have already thought of this one but think about including some information about some of the modeling T.V. shows out there. These shows are great examples of how the media and the modeling world view the "ideal" woman's body. Nice work and keep it up.

  3. Sounds really good so far Claudy. Maybe for section seven you can include some statistics on which clothing brands advertise with the thinnest models and how that influences others to be thin. Also for section eight, you could include an example, like the Dove commercials that advertise with the average woman and not a thin model. Just a suggestion!

  4. I don't really know how to comment on this outline. Since you didn't use complete sentences, I have to assume that I know what you are arguing.

    The comments are really good. There is in article about Dove that you were assigned in your book. You might be able to use it if you want to.
