Project Proposal

     I guess my project on body image falls more into the community category. I will be interviewing someone who had struggled with her self image a few years ago, but is in recovery. Someone else I'll be interviewing will be a nutritionist, the information requested will be about the importance of a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. Both of these interviews will be done in the next couple weeks.
    I know how society looks at girls and the judgment it portrays. I also know that it will completely come from the opposite direction and say everyone is beautiful and it doesn't matter what you look like. I would like to know more on stats and factual information.
    I will be gathering information from magazines and news articles. I have plenty of magazines with adds for losing weight. Also, I work at a gym, so I will have plenty of healthy sources there. Ill be looking at some surveys as well as taking one or two myself. I will probably be asking family members, friends, and other students.
   I found this topic meaningful because I have grown up around heath. My whole life is surrounded with nutrition and exercise. I also know how people bash each other on social media due to the simple factor of looking different. It's upsetting looking at it in all points of perspective and that's the reason I chose to do this topic; I want to put my word out there on how the body image is viewed by society.

  2. Body image sounds like a good topic sense you have been around nutrition and working out all your life. I know there's a lot of movies that have to do with it too! Good luck in your research!

  6. Societies portrayal of body image is a really interesting topic right now. I know too many beautiful people that have crippling self-confidence issues because they don't like the way they look. I'll be very interested to see your research.

  7. I think body image is important because society's version of a perfect body is a huge influence on the way people think of themselves. It will be interesting to see what you come up with.
