Person Goes or Whatever a Essay

Encouraging the media to present more diverse and real images of people with more positive messages about health and self-esteem may not eliminate eating disorders entirely, but it would help reduce the pressures many people feel to make their bodies conform to one ideal, and in the process, reduce feelings of body dissatisfaction and ultimately decrease the potential for eating disorders (National Eating Disorders Association 2005). But it should not stop there though because there are other related issues as to how the body image is projected by the media. There is an effect on people's behavior and attitudes whereby if they have the perfect body image, they could feel more superior than others. In changing the way the media perform their social duties and services by projecting real people in their advertisements, there will not be any negative outlook on how feel see themselves but rather a feeling of self-worth no matter how they look for as long as they maintain a healthy and wholesome lifestyle. having the perfect body image may be unattainable but having the right body image for one's personality should be enough to make a person feel good about himself without the media distortion.
