How does our culture's view of the body affect our health?

Our current culture is awash in mixed messages about the body. While our Puritan heritage viewed the naked body as shameful or deviant, popular magazines, advertisements, television and movies bombard us with gratuitous nudity and hypersexuality. We live in a Barbie-doll culture where expectations are confusing and ambivalent.

Unrealistic body images result in an epidemic of eating disorders and sexual confusion. As a result of this cultural onslaught, many of us live in a constant state of anxiety and obsession with the next great diet, miracle drug, exercise machine, or diet guru.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
