My proposal is that models affect the way women and many young teenagers eat. Models very much may have a link to many eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Models, in many magazines and advertisements portray a negative image of women and young girls. Models show how they are supposed to eat and look in their everyday lives. Because of the negative image, models are putting on women and young girls it causes many eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Models that weigh less than eighty pounds causes many problems to their body and their young fans that look up to them. Models cause major stress on many young adults to look thin and beautiful like them. Stress is one of the major factors that cause people to have eating disorders.

Conclusion
The explanation of eating disorders is associated to models conducted by recent studies. Models should decide to put a limit or range on the weight that models are permissible to walk the runway. Women and many young adults should not worry about being fat and realize that weighting less than 80 pounds is realistically unhealthy. 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.
Claudy, you have a good topic and you hit a lot of good points. I think it would be good to explain why models have to be skinny/pretty in the first place. Besides that, keep up the statistics, those are good
ReplyDeleteGreat work Claudy, this is a very prevalent and current topic of our generation. Maybe hit on the differences in cultures around the world and their viewpoint of beauty. Other than that it seems that your right on point.

I like your topic. You have a good idea of where to go with this essay. The points seem pretty organized and I am interested to read your final essay.
ReplyDeleteAfter each sentence I read, I thought, "How?" As you write your detailed outline and your paper, for every statement you make, answer the question, "How."
ReplyDeleteWork on how ideas link. You seem to be all over the place. You may have to lose some talking points.
