Charlotte Green Research Paper

1183 Words5 Pages

In the past, the mere mention of eating disorders would make everyone gasp, but now celebrities are openly talking about their own experiences and giving the media access to their personal stories. Charlotte Green has been through a lot with her own low self-esteem since becoming an increasingly popular teenage artist. She is now an inspirational role model for other young women - so what message does she want to share? We’ve all heard it a thousand times before about how many people suffer from eating disorders but, let’s face it, we never think it could happen to us or anyone close to us. It does. Charlotte Green, teenage pop sensation who released her debut album “Hour of the Shadows“ last year, knows this all too well. She met with me recently in a central London cafe to discuss her …show more content…

Can’t we just be accepted for who we are and what we really look like? Fair enough, perhaps edit out an enormous spot that might have suddenly appeared that morning, but don’t change the shape of my nose or narrow my waistline to a size that a healthy human couldn't actually sustain!” The up and coming young artist has more reason than most to debate the case as she battled against her own poor self-image with devastating consequences not so long ago. “I never really had a problem with my body until I started appearing in the public eye. Before all this, I looked at myself as an average teenage girl, 5’7” with long brown hair, nothing out of the ordinary” the 20-year-old explained. “It was only when magazine publishers continued to display images of me so far from my real appearance that I started feeling like I had to live up to expectations that I wasn’t meeting

    "Now, I don 't like to compare. Facebook and Instagram are very image-driven, so I try to avoid that.” Rojas added, “Users support one another 's self-destructive behaviors through shared tips and tricks — and promote the notion that an eating disorder is a lifestyle choice, not a serious mental illness.” We need to realize how it can lead to damaged and unrealistic ideas of women 's ultimate body’s type. Rojas added, “An estimated 30 million Americans suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder (20 million women and 10 million men) at some time in their life, according to NEDA.”

    No matter one’s career choice, family life, ethnicity, or culture, finding and owning one’s personal identity is a persistent struggle that can last an entire lifetime. One is surrounded by media and messages feigning “the perfect life” which begin to consume one’s thoughts with “what if’s” or “if only’s”. Lucy Grealy struggles with defining her self-image in her autobiography, Autobiography of a Face. Throughout Grealy’s accounts of her battle with cancer, bullies, and her self-esteem, readers get a raw, painful, yet incredibly relatable look into the elements that can contribute to self-image. In writing Autobiography of a Face, Grealy leaves readers with a chilling lesson: only readers themselves, not peers or the media or society, can choose how to define their lives.

    All of the makeup, hair products, perfumes, etc., are completely hurting women’s overall body image and self-esteem. Trying to live up to such nearly impossible standards is so taxing on women. Tyler is a six-foot tall, beauty, who has posed for Maxim magazine in just her undergarments, yet she found it important to tell young women not to look up to super models and to embrace their curves. I found this so interesting since she has actually been considered to have supermodel stature and looks, yet often jokes about her ‘freakishly tall stature’ or being an ‘amazon’ or ‘giant’. Her tone is definitely one of a sarcastic feminist.

  • Analysis Of The Globalization Of Eating Disorders By Susan Bordo

    1391 Words  | 6 Pages

    In “The Globalization of Eating Disorders”, written by Susan Bordo in 2003, the author declares that eating and body disorders have increased rapidly throughout the entire globe. Susan Bordo, attended Carleton University as well as the State University of New York, is a modern feminist philosopher who is very well known for her contributions to the field of cultural studies, especially in ‘body studies’ which grants her the credibility to discuss this rising global issue (www.wikipedia.org, 2015). She was correspondingly a professor of English and Women Studies at the University of Kentucky which gives her the authority to write this article. “The Globalization of Eating Disorders” is written as a preface to her Pulitzer Price-nominated book “Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body” which was similarly written in 2003. Through the use of many logical arguments and evidence, Bordo successfully manages to convince her audience that the media, body images and culture have severely influenced the ‘so-called’ trending standard of beauty and how it leads to eating disorders across the world.

  • Why Thinking You Re Ugly Is Bad For You Analysis

    841 Words  | 4 Pages

    Meaghan Ramsey's TED Talk "Why thinking you're ugly is bad for you" is a powerful speech about low body confidence. Ramsey talks about how society's pressure to be perfect is one of the main reason for young girls' (and boys') low body confidence and how these feelings of low esteem can impact their lives and futures. I chose to analyze this speech because I have experienced low body confidence and I have felt those feelings of low self-esteem. In Meaghan Ramsey's speech "Why thinking you're ugly is bad for you", she discusses how low body confidence is undermining academic achievement, damaging health, and limiting the economic potential of today's youth who are growing up in a world of social media. Ramsey has a strong start to her speech, using a photo and a story about her niece to gain the attention of the audience.
