Body Image

(Research/Citation Required)
One import aspect of self-concept is body image. This is particularly important to adolescents as they search to formulate their identity and sense of self. Discuss the concept of body image and how it shapes one’s identity. You must first decide if the focus of your discussion is with males or females. Then, identify and discuss factors that can influence body image and how they may contribute to views and activities specific to food intake, exercise, and supplements (specific to the gender you have chosen). Clearly relate this topic to your own experiences and views. Finally, identify and discuss an eating disorder or body image disorder (i.e., anorexia or bulimia for females, muscle dysmorphia for males – you only need to address one and it should be consistent with whether you are addressing males or females). Discuss symptoms, causal factors and treatment options.

Note: When you cite, you must include the work cited in a separate work cited page.
