Eating Disorders and the Media Comment by Michelle Green: The title should not be in bold font.
Introduction Comment by Michelle Green: There should never be two headings that bump up against each other with no text in-between. That is why we recommend you do not use the heading for the Introduction. Just start typing under the title of the paper.
Eating disorders are severe mental disorders that occur in individuals having perilous nutritional patterns. Individuals having disordered eating strive to reduce their excess weight by doing exercises and dieting since they have a negative impression about their body image. The cultural foundations for these people contribute highly to their disordered eating. In western nations where slimness is accentuated as a significant social value, a considerable number of women are experiencing dietary problems like anorexia, bulimia, and binge consuming food. Comment by Michelle Green: You should have in-text citations in this first paragraph identifying the sources of this information.
In the United States, a study was conducted about the prevalence of disordered eating and the findings showed that about 25 million people are battling with binge problem, while 1 million men and 10 million women were having bulimia and anorexia. Technology over the years has evolved particularly on social media platforms whereby it has the enticing power of controlling people’s convictions and attitudes. The press has grown throughout the years with the headway in innovation, and now it has the enticing force that can control the entire society by moulding individuals’ attitudes and convictions. This “mind-twisting” intensity of the media has achieved numerous discussions from various foundations, particularly the harmful impact of media presentation on dietary problems. Consequently, prompt measures should be made before this issue turns out to be increasingly disputable. Comment by Michelle Green: Insert in-text citation here. Any time you talk about numbers and statistics, you need to tell us where you got them. Comment by Michelle Green: This sentence is confusing. Also, what is the source? Comment by Michelle Green: I don’t think this is the word you want here?
This impression of society has made, has a noteworthy influence on our nation’s obsession with slenderness and extreme dieting. America’s obsession with well-being and diets and the fashion business and TV advertising waif slender models as “sexy and curvaceous,” gives a contorted thought to send numerous young women inappropriate idea regarding self-image. In the present society, these eating issues, for example, anorexia and bulimia, are turning out to be typical. However, the question remains, what are the causes and factors adding to this harmful behaviour, and what sort of effect is the media adding to these issues? Comment by Michelle Green: This sentence is quite long and confusing and seems to be missing some words? There are significant writing errors in the sentence that affect its clarity. Comment by Michelle Green: This statement is too strong. Are eating issues typical? That would imply that most people have them. Comment by Michelle Green: I’m concerned you may be using synonym replacement strategies instead of paraphrasing. Please refrain from just replacing words with synonyms; it results in unclear writing. Comment by Michelle Green: There were no in-text citations in this section. Each theme should address several sources in a literature review. Please add in-text citations to this section in your final draft.
Media Promotes “Ideal Body Image ” Comment by Michelle Green: Each theme should have at least 2 or 3 studies. This one only has one. For your final draft, either find more or drop this theme.
Physical appearance and attitude about the body image is greatly influenced by the lifestyle we take and dieting. It is not inherent; it is learned (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, 2011). Back in the 1990s, Anne Becker in Fiji researched television’s impact on disordered eating. The findings showed that 82% of the subjects felt that television has changed their dieting habits and attitude about self-image and size were 82% (Grogan, 2016). Media plays a significant role in promoting someone’s ideal body image, which ought not to be trifled with as it can cause harm to one’s mental self-image and confidence (insert in-text citation here).
Family Influence
Studies demonstrate that family impact is additionally one of the components that trigger dietary problems. Guardians, particularly moms, have critical influence over young people’s self-perception issues. In this general public, where ‘slender is still in,’ many moms may want their youngsters to look lovely and thin. In this manner, guardians some of the time coincidentally urge their youngsters to get in shape, although most of them are not overweight. Guardians often urge their youngsters to diet with realistic goals; however, adolescents may misconstrue their importance as being fat isn’t great and they ought to get in shape to wind up slenderer and progressively beautiful. Other than that, guardians with weight issues will, in general, be over-worried about their kids’ weight and self-perceptions. This may make adolescents feel the pressure to be slim and begin developing unhealthy dietary patterns to control their weight. Since young people pay attention to their folks’ words, adverse remarks on their weight and nutritional habits may decrease their confidence (Fortesa & Ajete, 2014). Comment by Michelle Green: What studies? Whenever you say, “Studies demonstrate,” or “Research indicates,” you are implying that more than one source has found this to be true.Be specific about which sources showed this. You must use an in-text citation with two or more sources in it to reflect that more than one source has found this to be true. Comment by Michelle Green: You must provide the source any time you make statements like this. Comment by Michelle Green: This sentence is confusing and has significant writing errors. Comment by Michelle Green: If this is the source for many of your statements in this section, it needs to be cited throughout with many in-text citations in the paragraph.
Social Pressure
Social pressure affects people who are in profession to become slender. For example, actors, artists, models and athletes are bound to create dietary issues throughout their vocation. Research has shown that about 14-26% of athletes have eating disorders? particularly those associated with sports that stress on appearances, for example, figure skating, cheerleading, and vaulting (insert in-text citation here). Other than that, celebrities and models additionally experience the ill effects of dietary problems since they are put under social pressure to “look impeccable before the camera” (insert in-text citation here to tell us where you got the quote). To look too thin and attractive, they assume unnecessary dieting and self-starvation, which can prompt harmful wellbeing results later. For instance, modelling star Ana Caroline Reston succumbed to death in 2006. Out of social pressure she went for so many days without food, where she survived on fruit juice only of tomatoes and apples. At last, when she accomplished the ideal image of a supermodel, deadly dietary problem ended her life at 21 years old (insert in-text citation here to tell us where you got this information). Comment by Michelle Green: Have you used a synonym-replacement program again? I think I mentioned the dangers of doing so on a previous paper? Your paper seems to replace “eating disorders” with “dietary issues,” which is not only inaccurate, but also indicative of use of prohibited synonym-replacement software.If I see this pattern in your final paper, it will not be graded and will need to be rewritten. Please refrain from ever using synonym-replacement software in this program. Otherwise, you can get into trouble for plagiarism. Comment by Michelle Green: This is another sign of synonym replacement software making a phrase or term unintelligible.
Protecting Girls & Young Women
Social media use is just a single potential contributing variable to dietary issues. Guardians, be that as it may, can make a move to protect their daughters from being contrarily impacted by the undesirable and unreasonable body images. For instance, the specialists in Israeli Facebook research revealed a factor that appeared to protect teen social media users from increasing dietary problems. Girls with guardians who recognized what their girl was doing online and examined online activities with them seemed to have a lower risk of nutritional issues. On the other hand, girls with guardians who were uninvolved with their online exposure were bound to have a negative body image and dietary problems. Comment by Michelle Green: Do you mean parents? Comment by Michelle Green: More unusual wording resulting from synonym replacement. Comment by Michelle Green: Please provide at least 2-3 studies per theme that are related to the theme and synthesize the information. Otherwise, delete the theme.
Conclusion
The reality is by all accounts that the media influences our impression of self-perception and has a backhanded reason on the advancement of dietary issues. Youngsters are progressively vulnerable to media impacts specific concerning self-perception. It can be deduced that, after a couple of years, the body image that was perceived beautiful and alluring…
