In the news today there are many cases of death of both young and old women and men. A majority of these deaths are due to illnesses, car crashes, or natural disaster but there is also a great percentage of death cause by another factor. In fact “20 percent of people with anorexia [and bulimia] actually die from the conditions” (ask how to quote it). Once bulimia and anorexia become part of a person life it is as if they were prisoners in their own body trying to escape. Eating disorders manipulate a person thought process to make them believe that their physical appearance is not accepted in our society. They constantly pressure and remind them that food is what is going to make them gain weight, so therefore the only solution is to either starve themselves till they can a fit a smaller size or eat a great about of food and vomit it all out of their system later. Eating disorders have been around for century’s and when it first started to become popular around 1990 many had different outlooks toward. It. Very Few believed it was a sickness and they needed to help those who were living with it. Others thought of it as a sickness for the crazy people and showed no attempt to accept them as humans too. The change of how people judged others by how they looked and how one judges oneself change all cause of Diana Spenser, The people’s princess. She constantly volunteered and visited victims of eating disorders to give them the feeling that someone does care rather then look at them as monsters, and her speech in 1993 effectively allowed humans to understand the true meaning of an eating disorder.

Diana had to win over the four hundred doctors that surrounded her during the speech to successfully get them to invent a treatment. In order to accomplish this she uncover vivid image in their minds about what people with eating disorders go through every single day that passes by with no help.

The use of sound helped to create a story behind the scenes. The sounds of Drum’s gunfire and Ouiser’s dog barking create a humorous event outside of the set. This scene of family/neighborhood craziness is relatable to any audience member in some way and helped the audience to connect with the characters. The use of the radio at the beginning and end of each scene helped to establish a mood and in some cases a time change. It also worked as a signal to the audience when a scene was beginning or

Eating disorders are quite serious and can often lead to extreme disruption of normal eating behaviors. It wasn’t considered an illness till 1980, when a singer named Karen Carpenter died from complications due to anorexia. If left untreated a person can put significant stress on their body; causing the body to begin to shut down. Often the organs will begin to fail, the persons hair will start to fall out and the person whom you once knew will become completely unrecognizable. Researchers have found many reasons that can be the cause of eating disorders. If we consider Demi Lovato a once happy go lucky Disney star who started acting different from her usual self. We can see that she was struggling from some kind of internal complex. When
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness; 24 million people of all ages and genders suffer from eating disorders and only 1 in 10 of those 24 million are treated (ANAD). Eating disorders do not discriminate; all ages, genders, ethnicities and races can be victim to this mental illness. It’s important to be aware of the impact eating disorders have on societies across the globe and how the media plays a role if we want to fight the source and promote prevention and/or rehabilitation. I’ve known many people in my life who have some sort of eating disorder, whether it’s anorexia(not eating enough), binge eating(eating large amounts of food rapidly), bulimia (throwing up their food) or just struggling with an unsatisfying self-image. Becoming aware of eating disorders and how they are developed is important to me because in a perfect world, I would like to see this illness become less common or diminished completely among those that I love and anyone else in today’s society. Eating disorders hit home for many people, including myself. Raising awareness may decrease the rate of eating disorders by informing the population of the harm this illness causes and hopefully promote prevention and/or rehabilitation. With the 3 theoretical approaches used by sociologists, Eating disorders can be understood which will better inform society on how to raise awareness, prevent this illness and help those who suffer from eating disorders.

FIRST: Let me first begin by telling you about Princess Diana’s life. In a book by Andrew Morton titled “Diana: Her True Story In Her Own Words” published by Simon and Shuster, Morton talks into great detail about Diana’s life. He says that Diana, Princess of Wales, was born Diana Frances Spencer on July 1st, 1961. Her parents divorced at a young age, leaving her and her siblings in a bitter custody battle. When her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer, she became Lady Diana Spencer. After she finished with school, she worked as a nanny and a kindergarten teacher. She had a passion for taking care of children. She grew up knowing the Royal family quite well. Princess Diana’s younger brother is the Queen’s godson. Morton also talks about Princess Diana’s relationship with Prince Charles. Although their families had known each other for a long time, Prince Charles of Wales and Lady Diana met again at a party in 1977. In F...

Many people remember Princess Diana for her very fragile and loving nature, however during an interview with BBC, she often remarks “I am a very strong person,” an ironic statement for someone whose life was full of challenges and disappointments (Elliot& Pederson, 1995, p.62). Beginning with her birth on July 1, 1961 to aristocratic parents Viscount and Viscountess Johnnie and Frances Althorp, Princess Diana (then Diana Frances Spencer) believed she was a disappointment to her parents because she was not born a baby boy, the desired heir to the Spencer estate. Feelings of disappointment continued for Diana during her parent’s divorce at the age of six and her father’s second marriage to Raine (a woman she despised) when she was 16. Shortly after her father’s marriage to Raine, Diana failed her “O-levels” (or college placement tests), and was sent to a Swiss finishing school to develop her passion for skiing rather than focus on academics. It was based on this new sense of freedom that caused Diana to exhibit problematic behaviors, such as relentless stubbornness and lying, as well as early symptoms of an eating disorder (Elliot & Pederson, 1995). Thus, it is the purpose of this paper to examine how the events of Diana’s life in conjunction with psychological components contributed to her development of bulimia nervosa.
