In the article "Not Just a "White Girl's Thing"", Susan Bordo writes about how eating disorders effect all kinds of people all over the world and how body image expectations have changed throughout the years. I love love LOVE this piece. I would personally like every person to get the chance to read this article. Bordo uses facts, narratives, and references throughout this article. I think this piece is really informative and I really agree with a lot of the content and opinions of the author.

I also liked how the author showed how Anorexia changed over time and the changing views of doctors nd why they saw what they did. It was really interesting how body expecations were so easily changed by media in a matter of years.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed this article :) I, too, really like how she was able to weave facts, narrative, and references into this discussion. It's academic while still being very down-to-earth which makes it accessible for a much wider audience.
