Body image paper:

After reading over my body image paper as well as one of my group members final copies I felt I had learned more about how people view what normal is and where there idea of normal came from. My partner talked about athletes and the use of steroids and how they make the athletes looks so mucular that little kids who look up to them want to be like them, but with out the use of steroids there is no way they could. They media shows these muscular men at these unattinable body sizes, so in a sense they are encouraging the use of steroids. My partners paper was similar to mine in the way i talked about celeberties being so thin from "eating disorders" that they are almost accepted in todays media becausae girls want to look like their idols and will practically die to. They take extremes by not eating, over exercising, and comparing themselves to every other girl. Whats normal to one person may not be to another by the media has surly deicded that its better to be extremly muscular for men and extremly thin for women. They dont care about the health issues that go along with it they only care about people buying into their ideas!
