In the article Exploring the role society and media play in a development of an eating disorder and the media influence on eating disorders it is said that not only the media should be responsible for eating disorders. The statistics say that if there are around 6 billion people on this planet more than 10 million among them suffering from some kind of eating disorder.
The media obviously does not cause everyone´s eating disorder but it is a lot complex. Media are a bit focused on size discrimination and dieting. The most important issue here in this article is to realize that dieting does not mean equally the same as eating disorder!!!! The article talks about the problem of stereotyping like each women should look great, be attractive, with perfect body, all the time we should look fresh. Men, on the other side should have a greta body, with muscles everywhere and again act like metrosexuals. These stereotypes are always seen on TV, magazines just in different types of media.
Everywhere there is a problem with dieting, diet advertisings are everywhere!! They promise that if you lose weight you will be happy- so here is the size discrimination from the media side. Why someone with few kilos more cannot be happy? Is that really true? I do not think so, but it depends on personality. I like the division of Americans, the article suggests that there are only two types of Americans, firstly gauche potatoes and secondly those exercise freak. I think this phenomenon is not only in USA but everywhere.
