Question

For both questions, you are to think from the perspective of a 16 year old female (Tina) who has a slight to moderate disturbance of her body image. She is of normal weight but perceives herself as being overweight and unattractive to her peers. Remember to answer the discussion questions from HER perspective. You must clearly tie in some material from the text and/or other academic sources in your responses to receive full credit. Please note that you may not simply tie in material that describes symptoms of an eating disorder - you should tie in material pertaining to ideas such as risk factors for developing an eating disorder or theories of how eating disorders develop. If citing the text, you must cite specific page numbers from which you are incorporating material. Be sure to cite your source(s). Answer either 1. or 2. below 1. Eating disorders: “Pro-ana” websites There are plenty of sites that offer tips for losing weight and have been accused of promoting anorexia and unhealthy body image. You are to examine at least two sites that relate to eating disorders. Go to TWO “pro-ana” or eating disorder related websites/blogs based upon people’s personal experiences. The websites do not necessarily need to favor eating disorders, but need to include discussion of experiences with body image and related issues. Do NOT go to academic websites for this post. Note: Some of the sites which you may find for this assignment may contain language and/or images that some may find offensive. Simply typing “pro-ana” into a search engine will yield many relevant sites, though you may search using any keywords you think will work. For EACH site, write a SEPARATE response to each question from the perspective of the 16-year-old female (Tina) described above. Remember to incorporate information from course material in your response and cite such information appropriately. 1. How did she feel after examining the site? 2. Did her body image change after viewing the site? How? Why? 3. Is she likely to return to this site? If so, how will this behavior likely affect her body image and emotional state? 4. Are there any benefits that she might gain from viewing this site? If so, please describe. 5. Give a brief review of the site from your OWN perspective (not Tina's). This question is open-ended and is merely looking for your reactions to the site. In order to receive credit, you must provide links to the websites you are citing in your response.
