Maggie Helwig’s short essay Hunger explores the idea of negative body imaging and how media within today’s society promotes an unhealthy view of one’s body through the use of models and celebrities. Helwig argues that if the world would learn how to approach women with issues before they have reached the point of potentially harming themselves than eating disorders would not be as common as they are. She has provided the reader with an overall convincing argument involving women and body image through the use of an intelligent voice, first-hand experiences, and information on the focus of industries.…
Kelly Galicia Waxham ENG III H-1 February 26th, 2024. Body Image has always been a very controversial topic for most people. Some people think there is a certain look or size that will bring infinite success. The truth is, everyone has different opinions on what is and isn’t good enough. The author does a great job at explaining this and showing the bad side of this mindset by using many different rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos.…
In “Reaching the Slender Body” Susan Bordo deeply analyzes the cultural, psychological, and gender factors that influence body image in the modern era, including the underlying manifestation of power over the self and changing cultural attitudes. There is no denying that humans prefer ascetic beauty just as bees are attracted to vibrant flowers which is why some people believe a warped version of the good life is to achieve societal standards of beauty which in turn is subliminally achieving virtues. The cost is often times one’s physical and mental health as well as an obsessive condemnation of everything that is “imperfect” of a person. In reality, gender norms and societal perceptions change what is “the idea body type” therefore achieving it is like chasing the wind. In today’s culture “slimness” is translated by some as being the tangible…

America is a growing and changing nation, but one characteristic has outlasted the years. The obsession for a socially-accepted body, whether it be wearing a corset, being big and voluptuous or, for men, being muscular and lean, has always existed. The culprit, a negative body image, now haunts approximately eight million people across the United States and is beginning to seep into more American minds as the “Perfect” disease spreads (Davis 8). In the past decade, the pressure to have “the perfect body” has dramatically increased in America; every individual in this nation has a different view of what “the perfect body” actually is, and many people who are seeking it are willing to take radical…
The emergence of the civil rights movement after World War II was one of the most important events in US history. It forced white Americans to recognize the systematic discrimination that affected African Americans and other non-whites. And it shattered the postwar consensus and sparked a revival of liberal reform. These reforms included landmark civil rights legislation that outlawed discrimination and restored the voting rights of blacks in the South. Reformers in the 1960s also increased government regulation of business, expanded the welfare state, and passed laws that addressed new “quality of life” issues. By the late 1960s, new political forces committed to combating discrimination and protecting the rights of minorities had gained substantial public support and sparked new tensions within the Democratic coalition. Inspired by a new “rights-oriented liberalism,” they pushed the Democrats to embrace new causes and appeal to new constituencies.…

This paper was to argue the influences of negative body images and how advertisers are feeding our youth idealized body images and ruining our youth with untrue…
The perception of the perfect female body image always differs depending on who is asked. To some, the ideal body image requires constant transformation whether it is through plastic surgery or artwork such as piercings and tattoos. The body image is perceived as “the picture of our own body which we form in our mind, that is to say the way in which the body appears to ourselves”. (eating disorders 87) This perception is believed to have been integrated into the minds of individuals since a young age, coming from television, parents and toys such as Barbie dolls which young girls played with every day while in their youth.…
