I Want To Look Like That!
Women in the media are portrayed as unrealistically thin, causing widespread low-self esteem among women in Western cultures. This idea of "the perfect body" is to blame for the prevalence of eating disorders in the United States. Millions of women in the U.S. struggle with some type of eating disorder, leading to numerous other problems. Along with this, media consumption is larger than it has ever been and is increasing every year. As a result, women are striving for a perfect, yet unattainable, body type. Additionally, the constant struggle of women to maintain this unrealistic weight is psychologically damaging. Being aware of this issue can help women tremendously, hopefully stopping the development of eating disorders.
