Proposal for your ethnographic projects for social change
I am writing about teenage girls in the United States in our current society because I belong to this category and my topic effects me. I am focusing on how the media, mostly magazines and models, effects eating disorders among these teenage girls. I am writing for everyone, but more specifically this group of teenage girls I mentioned before. I want my readers to learn why girls think the way they do about themselves and how the media has a negative effect on their body image, causing them to obtain an eating disorder. I expect that there will be a lot of information on this topic because it is often researched in today's societies. I also think that girls my age are highly interested in this topic, as well. I hope to answer questions like why the media has such a huge effect on teenage girls and why they believe they need to develop eating disorders because of this media. I plan to collect information on eating disorders such as anorexia and bolemia. I also plan to collect information about models, magazines, and how the images of these models in the magazines are created with photoshop and airbrushing. I plan on studying other researchers findings, interviewing participants, being a quiet observer, and talking from my own experience.
