Body image has a huge impact on people in America today. People are constantly worrying whether they are too fat for society’s expectations, and think that being skinny is the only way to be. Advertisements and movies tend to play a huge role on attitudes towards appearance.

This is what society today looks for in life, and tends to influence the reaction of others when they meet someone new.
America is a beacon for immigrants like my Filipino parents who courageously desired to better themselves by seeking opportunity in the United States. Their older siblings toiled in rice farms in order to make a living and were supportive in ensuring better lifestyles for their younger siblings. Their siblings’ salaries successfully paved my parents’ path to becoming the first in their families to graduate with degrees in civil engineering and enter Canada; however, this step was just the beginning. A graveyard shift at the 7-Eleven gas station and a McDonald’s uniform were only a few of the hardships my parents were forced to come to terms with, but they became inured to adversity, and eventually, their determination was rewarded with a job opening in Brownsville, Texas.

Highly acclaimed authors John Updike, Raymond Carver, and Kate Chopin relate this to the world of literature by illustrating innovative plots in which the protagonists are confronted with crucial decisions that complicate their lives and threaten their traditional lifestyles by making them question their deep-rooted morals and the constantly evolving world they think they understand.

The one child policy was never supposed to be a permanent thing. it was established in 1979 after a huge population boom in China. After the communist party began its rule in 1949, the population of China almost doubled in 30 years. And this wasn’t a coincidence . Mao ZeDong encourage people to have lots of kids. That’s partially because he was concerned about nuclear war.

At the time, the Communist Party even banned birth control. But eventually ,officials

It is funny how so many girls and women today are led to believe that the only way to feel attractive and be beautiful is to have their bodies consist of nothing but skin and bones. Women are dieting more today then they have ever been before. They are striving for an unattainable body figure that is portrayed by the media as being the ideal standard for today's women. It gets worse. Not only are women dieting unlike ever before, but they will ruthlessly harm their bodies in order to achieve these inaccessible standards. This ruthless harm that haunts so many women today just so happens to be what we call eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia are the primary diseases that go in the category of eating
Often, people of all ages, race, and gender catch themselves gazing into mirrors for hours, blaming themselves for the way they look, not realizing that the media is actually the one to blame for many people’s body image. Body image is the way people see themselves, or how they assume other people see them. It is not likely to see a plus sized model in a magazine or a model on the runway with blemishes on her face. A person’s negative perception of their own body is not because they think it is wrong to look and be healthy; it is because the media is telling them that being a size 2 with flawless skin is healthy and beautiful.
