The second article which I chose is Body image, Media and Eating disorders. The article is more less like case study, it takes the reader to the history of body image changes. It begins with colonial times together with tiny waists and large bustles. This period was really cruel because women were willing to remove, by surgery of course, their ribs, to look thinner. After it continuous with the 20th century and, moving to 2nd Word War to the late 1960s, when top model Twiggy, become so famous.
It describes the media influence on human body development, there is an interesting fact which says that the year 1998 was quite crucial for eating disorders, because at that time the series like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place were recorded, and young people tend to inclined to the perfect and very well looking actors and actresses.
The article finishes with some recommendations for parents. They should lead their children to healthy lifestyle, not based on diets ar model look, but to exercise and healthy food.
