Different Dimensions Of Beauty
There are different perspectives among body image and eating disorders. Body image in the media is portrayed as the ideal women by being thin and tall, this kind of perception is seen in the fashion world specifically towards models. For example, Kate Moss, a supermodel, replied in an interview after being asked what her motto was, “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” This controversial quote caused her to be attacked by campaigners against eating disorders (Loveys K, 2009). This motto can create more people to fall under eating disorders. The fashion world is very demanding and in this case, models seem to be pressured. However, as mentioned before, places like France, Spain, Italy, and Israel seem to be aware of underweight models and are actually putting a stop to it. There are other perspectives to take into account for body image and eating disorders. For instance, anorexia nervosa has been classified as being a, “hypothalamic abnormality, an endocrine disorder, a hidden form of obsessive compulsive disorders or depressive illness, a psychosocially understandable feminist protest, a strategy to regulate family functioning, a syndrome of unknown origin, and others” (Anderson A, 2009). All of these classifications mean that anorexia nervosa has different interpretations.
