September 10th Homework Assignment


The two books I chose to look up were Starving Women and Women afraid to eat. I chose these two books because one focuses on all aspects on Anorexia and the other focuses on strictly the Psychological issues. This caught my attention because I am a psychology major and I love to figure out what goes through people’s minds as to why they do what they do and think. If I had to choose a better book to write on my topic it would be Women Afraid to Eat.  This book is more is more up to date than Starving Women. This means is had better information on the most recent discoveries on Anorexia. This book has actual expert opinions not only on anorexia but how it begins, the health effects and the effects social media has on the people who become anorexic. I would use this book to answer my research question by examining each factor of anorexia that our group is looking at. Those factors are the media, the psychological aspect, the health and the emotional reasons behind why men and women have issues with their physical appearance. Women Afraid to Eat covers all of this and more.
