By Jordan Minx English 250 Section HU Body Image: Unrealistic Goals Causing Illness
Introduction to Unrealistic Image • Started around 1960’s • Became prominent in the 80’s with the “heroine models” • The size for a model today is a size zero • When put in perspective seems impossible
The Origin of Unrealistic Body Image • Studies have shown that the size of models have decreased favoring a smaller frame (50’s-present) • Ultimately the blame gets put on the industry as a whole • The industry is powered by society • Overall society is to blame for the continuation of this image’s acceptance
The Devastation of the Unrealistic Image • Two models have died: Ana Carolina Reston and Luisel Ramos • Estimated 40% of models have eating disorders • Modeling has had many deaths related to it, which is outrageous
Possible Solutions for the Problem • Only a few solutions were found • The one solution was not allowing models into shows underweight or under a certain BMI • It was only implemented in a few districts • My proposal was for each country to pass laws/restrictions on BMI and the weight of models
Conclusions • The Unrealistic Body Image was created by the industry, but hasn’t been stopped so it is society’s fault as a whole • It has destroyed lives, and still is • Laws/Restrictions should be implemented on a Country wide plane • Setting BMI and weight limits, and checking health too

Rubric for E-Poster Categories: Exemplary, Mature, Competent, Developing, Undeveloped Grading scale: A=90 B=80 C=70 D=60 __M__ Explain the problem AND make an argument your position on how to solve it—so that a reader who was not familiar with your seminar group’s discussions could understand the problem and your position on how to solve it? __M__ Visuals and slide design chosen to support your explanation of the problem and your argument for your solution to an audience of educated and interested non-experts __M__ Visuals, audio, and text clearly planned and coordinated—a smooth presentation beginning to end __M__ Voiceover delivery clearly audible with good pronunciation and conversational style Jordan,Overall, you did a good job of summarizing your report. Some of your images were very striking and effective, especially the model photos. One thing to be aware of when you’re putting together a presentation is the readability of any charts and graphs you use. Even with the presentation on my computer, the BMI graph is not readable, which is a shame, because it is otherwise a very effective visual. Grade: 88
