The emotional effect media has on a woman’s mindset, or ethos, could very well send her overboard into what is commonly known as an eating disorder. The bar is already set extremely high for young girls these days. It can be as simple as a gorgeous movie star wearing your favorite brand of clothing. Now all that runs through your mind while in the fitting room is how much better the clothes looked on that tall, lean body of your idol because it’s someone you look up to and trust. The world is continuously comparing themselves to figures from the media that they forget who they even are.
Britt’s audience is fat people. I don’t really think she cares if thin people read her essay, she is writing to amuse fat people and maybe make them feel a little better about themselves. A few rhetoric strategies she used were pathos, humor, repetition, compare and contrasting, and cause and effect. Britt uses cause and effect in her essay to explain why thin people are the way they are. One example of this is when she writes, “Thin people turn surly, mean and hard at a young age because they never learn the value of a hot fudge sundae for easing tension.
A friend of mine named Moe, was in a sense overweight and he didn’t like it because of what other people thought about it. Moe was so insecure that he kept saying he didn’t want to look like that anymore and started a diet which cut out a lot of his favorite foods. Beauty is something that is something on the inside and not on the outside according to Drevno. In her article she says “I have friends who starve themselves, or throw up everything they eat, because pop culture tells them they aren’t worthy unless they look perfect”(P.4). What this quote is saying is that pop culture is so bad that it can tamper
The body parts and organs that were named have been successful in treating the patient’s condition. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ. I believe in this day and time, that completely ruling out regular transplant would not be fair because there are so many people waiting for a transplant. I feel as though artificial organs cannot permanently take the place of original human organs because a patient might not react as well to an original human organ rather than an artificial one. My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money.

There are a number of women who have eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia trying to look like Miss USA when really it just might not be their body type. Women who starve themselves and call themselves fat on a regular basis. Well they would have nothing to compare themselves to if we as a society weren’t constantly flashing slim women on TV or in magazines. I wonder if there was a Mr. America pageant if men would start to doubt their body types and conform to what is socially accepted for a mans body. All in all I was shocked when I read this and think it is very sad that on national television there is a body type this is accepted.
This is a mental illness common to the young woman. This illness happens because people call you fat even though you are skinny. To not get teased in society you have to look and act normal. Cassie is the one that looks the hottest and that’s why the boys remember her name while referring to the other girls by their appearance. Forgotten Jelly shows us how people
Connie was overwhelmed in the fact that she was very good looking and attractive. The majority of girls wish to be noticed, however, for Connie that was the one and only thing she possessed. She based her aspects on her look exclusively, neglecting the important factors of her personality like lack of confidence, two sides of her and her change with the arrival of her friend. Connie’s lack of confidence regarding her own sense of worth also shows her low self-esteem. In relation to this, low self-esteem is described as a conviction that we are less significant or less valuable than other individuals around us.
The accusations of non-whites is that such displays simplify consumer minds so much that no room is left for consideration of the beauty of those who aren’t white. The general public recognizes stores that hire only beautiful whites to give the impression that only whites are beautiful and worthy of employment; this isn’t unlike Heilbroner’s second point: stereotypes define the things around us. It is usually the case that stereotypes are extremes, and if the stereotype held accountable defines blonde, blue-eyed whites are the most beautiful people, it also implies all non-whites as less beautiful. Stereotypes are black or white classifications; but, what people become so offended about is all of the gray area that is left out—in the workplace these areas are all of the varying skills applicants posses. The majority of workers don’t like to be defined by their beauty, they like to be defined by their work ethic, productivity, knowledge, and character.
A popular example would be the treatment of women in The Big Bang Theory. For a good majority of the show’s first few seasons, there is only one main female character, Penny. She’s presented as the stereotypical beautiful girl who is coveted by the males of the show; however, she also seems to lack equal intelligence and is often made fun of by the show itself over her inability to understand most topics being discussed. She’s basically an example of a pretty girl who’s all looks and no brain without any talents to make it through life, and is extremely objectified because of this. On the contrast, other women on the show such as Amy seem to have an extraordinary amount of intelligence, yet lack the pretty looks to go along with it.
