History Behind Body Image
Reality Behind Body Image
Body image has been around for for couple years even maybe more than we have expected. Throughout its history the beauty of girls has been unrealistic and very difficult to obtain. Girls typically would be willing to sacrifice comfort and even endure pain to be able and achieve them. In the colonial time large families required to have a helping in the land and household chores. This meant that the community values physically strong and able women. However in the 19th century women with tiny waist and large bustles came to be valued. Which means that upper-class man is able to span a woman’s waist with his hand. This means that expectation of a girl to a guy is very high but these girls are not realizing the king of damage they are doing to themselves. The ideal wealthy girl of the time would go as far as having ribs removed to further decrease their waist size. Despite the health risk they continued with the procedure. Living at that time in the 19th century was surprisingly because this was when body image started and when women started to get encountered to become wives and be part of the household. Body image has been always a way of risking one's life especially a woman’s life because they are the ones who tend to go for the risky part. Women who go through this type of issues tend to develop eating disorders and yet they think its normal but in reality its not.
