Ethnographic Writing For Social Change

One social issue that really interests me is body image and eating disorders in the teenage population. Personally, I know more about how the media effects girls' body images, but I would like to know more about how it effects males. One possible question for my research topic is: How do teenage males view their own body image and how is this body image effected by the media? or What is the relationship between the media and eating disorders among teenage girls? This would be beneficial to me, as well as my community, because I believe it something that greatly effects my generation and sometimes goes unnoticed. Another thing that interests me is art, since I am an art education major. My final possible research question is: Why are they removing art programs from the Chicago Public School system and how does it effect the students' overall education? This is significant to myself and to my community because I think art is something that is very important to learn about because it helps to create well-rounded individuals.
