5 Essential Questions.

I chose this topic to inform people of anorexia in teenagers because of the media and models. The number of people with anorexia has increased over 20 years. This is because of advertisements. In the 1940's, not all models had "thigh gaps", so why are they so important to have now? Everyone wanted to have curves and "thick" but now it's about being "skinny" or "thin". Some questions that I have will help explain what happened and how it can be changed again.

Essential questions:

 

1.      Why do young teenagers want to be sickly thin?

2.      If more teenagers are starting to become anorexic, why hasn’t anyone stopped promoting advertisements to be 'thin'?

3.      How should this be taking care of?

4.      Should the media be the one to blame?

5.      What if everyone thought of their appearance as perfect?
