Arachnophobi Overcoming Obstacles

When speaking to Ian’s mother prior to Ian’s assessment she indicated that she thought the difficulties she faced with Ian were normal until his Kindergarten teacher pointed out in a parent teacher conference that they were not. She also stated that since starting school, he seems to be very hard on himself, stating that he is stupid, and or not good enough.

Moving forward, Dyer begins to unpack the active/passive concept of images of models. Often male models are caught in the act doing hegemonically masculine things such as: baseball, mowing the lawn, grilling, painting, etc. When not caught in the act, the male model contorts his body in a way that shows off his muscles and emphasizes the potential for action. In contrast, women never do an action. They’re always sitting on a stool waiting for people to look at her. To look is to be active and to be looked at is to be passive. Men must remove any sense of passivity in their pose and look to continue to uphold their masculine identities.

Anyone who has ever been a high school student can probably find some way to relate to the characters in the film. The movie revolves around 5 students who for various reasons have been sent to Saturday detention by principle Vernon. The principle asks each of the students to write a one-page paper on who they think they are. As the day progresses, we see the teens begin to bond with each other and find out about each other and themselves.

For some computer owners, finding enough storage space to hold all the data they've acquired is a real challenge. Some people invest in larger hard drives. Others prefer external storage devices like thumb drives or compact discs. Desperate computer owners might delete

Everyone is special and unique in their own way. No one can change the way someone looks and acts. So why let the modeling industry change the way someone should look like. People can not let the modeling industry have an affect on them to where they have eating

2) Describe 2-3 problem behaviors that are indicative of “abnormality” for the character in the film. Link these problem behaviors to negative outcomes (e.g., dysfunction, distress, dangerousness)

In the article written by Zimmerman, it states, “...even supermodels feel heaped with physical flaws and are slaves to their self-perpetuated myths”.

When they say that ordinary people are going to want to become models they make it sound like it’s a bad thing. In reality that is a good thing, the more models the more business. The more models that we have the more clothing and products that companies get to advertise. Also due to that models are meant to be skinny we don’t have many models left, and the models that are modeling as an now many are in serious danger for having eating disorders.

Why is the model industry, creating this idea that all females have to look like this ‘doll’ to be beautiful? Society has moulded the ‘ideal’ body image to an unattainable goal fashioned by the criteria established through advertising. Advertisements are enforcing the standards of beauty to encourage our youth to believe and aspire to become this contemporary based view of what beautiful is.

However, no attention is paid to the pounds of product that weigh down their hair or the makeup that clog their pores. A model’s focus

Everyone cares about how he or she look and wants to have a good figure. Today, a good appearance can even leave a good impression to other people. However, nobody is perfect. I think nobody has a perfect face and retain flawless forever. The perfect women in advertisements and magazines have good make up that make them look flawless and slim. Some pictures were photoshoped to show the audience how good their products work. Like Jean Kilbourne (2010) said in the video Killing Us Softly 4: Advertising’s image of women that the supermodel Cindy Crawford once said I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford. Thus, even the supermodels and actress do not believe in their pictures and advertisements. They know they are not as perfect as what is depicting in the advertisement. They also pursue the ideal beauty and wish to

The hard disk drive can retain the stored information even when not powered. Hard disks are used as storage devices for all type of computer files.

While photo-shopping may be commonplace practice, there are those who are taking a stand. For example, the magazine Verily has made the promise to “never alter the body or facial structure of our models, remove wrinkles or birthmarks, or change the texture of their skin. We aim to show everyone at their best, but also firmly believe that ‘your best’ is not ‘a work of fiction.’” Verily’s column “Runway to Realway” takes high fashion styles and makes them practical for all women, they even use everyday women in the column instead of models (Verily). There are even individuals who are taking a stand. In an article for ABC News, Davis and Millman talk about Julia Bluhm, a 14 year old from Waterville, Maine, who collected 25,000 signatures on her petition to have Seventeen produce one spread per month that does not use photo-shopped images (Davis and Millman). Bluhm’s petition and Verily are showing the media that they want to see real and accurate representations of women. Someone can be “beautiful” by being fake, but a women’s true representation of herself is far more beautiful than any photo shopped model.

In the present people see models as beautiful although most of the advertisements and photos are edited to fit ideal beauty standards, of that time, which are usually almost impossible to

Throughout the years, models have been progressively been getting skinnier. "Size 6 (UK size 10) was a normal size" (Littlejohn). There are many downsides to the super thin models of today. They cause unattainable standards of beauty for people which leads to eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia, and binge eating. This is affecting models and teenage girls the most, peoples health is being sacrificed for "fashion", and it needs to stop.
