My first 2 questions for what I wanted to find out on my Animoto are who’s to blame here and who’s stopping this. I felt like these 2 questions were some of the most pertinent to my topic question because they really answer the question. Through the entire process I have found that most people do believe that it is mostly the medias and the fashion industries fault. Its not their full fault because they do project the images through TV, magazines, ads, and the internet, but we have the decision to follow through with the ideas.
The statistics and websites have a very strong outlook on the media and that this isn’t the only consequence coming from this. There are over 20 hot-lines for people with eating disorders plus many different treatments for people that need help or even just want it. There are 65 eating disorder treatment centers in the U.S. (Henry).You can see that this is obviously a serious problem if they have that large a number of centers. "Media is responsible for creating ideals about body image, owing to which several teenagers (especially girls) suffer from inferiority complex and resort to unhealthy practices to lose weight and get skinny." (Manohar)
