If they were to be more consistent and powerful, he would’ve blown a higher result.

An external factor is a factor in which affects the education system from outside for example home and family. Sociologist argue that the difference between the achievement of each gender is through several external factors , in which are causing girls to achieve better than boys within school, these consist of ; The impacts of feminist; since the 1960’s the feminist movement have challenged the typical stereotype of woman’s roles within society as a mother alongside being a housewife. Feminist still believe they have not yet achieved full equality, however have improved woman’s rights and opportunity’s through the use of laws, as well as this feminism have largely raised expectations and self-esteems of woman. An example of this would be through McRobbie; she took a comparison of girl magazines in the 1970’s and 1990’s. In the 1970’s magazines like Jackie Largely promoted marriage and being a housewife, whereas in the 1990’s magazines took a different approach of personal choice and independence of woman.
This phrase enforces the idea that women are weak and unequal to males performing the same action, especially in sports. Women are not considered as credible athletes when compared to their male counterparts, especially when playing what is considered by society as a masculine sport, or a sport in which danger, team spirit and strength are considered important (Jones & Greer, 2011). The notion of “femininity” accepted by society considers a feminine woman as a person who wears make-up all the time, has long hair, wears lipstick, is slender and is not aggressive (Ross & Shinew, 2008). The movie “A League of Their Own” clearly shows the inequalities and discrimination woman face in the world of sports. Although acceptance of females has increased over time, men and women are still not viewed as equals.
Being viewed as prejudice and discrimination, Spake shares the common idea of being overweight, and not losing the weight, is caused by laziness (Spake 284). “Too Close to the Bone” and “Rethinking Weight” both discuss weight issues that deal more with the mind than with the body. However, the articles contrast in the ways that “Rethinking Weight” focuses on the agitation of the medical world. The agitation being if obesity is caused by genetics or if it is a choice, while “Too Close to the Bone” focuses more solely on women and the complexity of the idea that the ideal body is constantly evolving to our society. Thus leading to a similarity in that both articles discuss the effects of the mistaken beliefs fueled by our society and misconceptions of history’s impression of the body.

LSI Self Assessment GM 591: Keller Graduate School Part I: Personal Thinking Styles (primary, backup, limiting) My primary style of thinking and acting is the avoidance style. Human Synergistic International states that a person with the avoidance thinking style generally lays low when things get difficult and stressful.

However, despite the studies in advertising that have shown a positive effect on brand liking and purchase intentions when featuring thin, idealized females’ body images, a contrasting literature found in psychology shows that these same images can lead to females’ self-objectification, decrease their body image dissatisfaction, which can lead to increases in eating disorders (Tiggemann, 2002). Psychologists find women’s exposure to idealized thin model images, especially those used as sex object in the ads, greatly increases women’s body image and eating disorders (Lavine, Sweeney, & Wagner, 1999). Body Image and Self Body image is conceptualized as subjective and varies between different individuals. The evolution of the psychological understanding in body image is around the concept of self. Researchers stress the relationship between self and body image, which is studied through cognitive-behavioral approach.
Today, the perception of female beauty and sexuality varies significantly, where the dominant western view is based on the “fitness” of the body, characterized by a thin waist, large breasts, and so on. However, in Feeding Desire, Rebecca Popenoe draws attention to an absolutely different view as she talks about the traditional stereotypes and standards related to Azawagh Arab women. Contrary to our values, they have unusual standards, defined by fatness. Popenoe presents the causes and has a good point; but although her position sounds logical, supported by evidence, I do not think that her claims are necessarily correct. She stresses that the fattening process is mainly about socializing sexuality, but I feel like it is more about social status – sexuality should be secondary to the social status.
Locus of control Axia of the University of Phoenix In one of the sources that I found in regards to locus of control, I discovered that a healthy athletic balance is good for moral and self esteem, but it can also be devastating if it taken away suddenly. (www.hanover.edu) Just like in life, it is hard to balance what we consider normal stressors and abnormal stressors. The other site that I found is finding the balance for Arab and Jewish women and how much control they feel they have over their lives and situations. (www.nih.gov/pubmed) Arab women especially said that they had lower physical activity and had a lower feeling of control over their lives. This was great reading that allowed me to see that what we do is up to us,
The main benefit of discounts for health insurance would make insurance more affordable for people that are physically fit. If the discounts were offered to people that were better physically fit it would give people an incentive to be more fit. People being more physically fit will mean less cost for doctor bills due to people being overweight. If employer’s was offered discounts on the employee’s insurance benefits due to physical fitness, they would offer the employees a fitness center. If the public would get more physically fit they would have less health issues such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
