Why are eating disorders more common in women than men?

English
2 answers:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago

Answer: Researchers find that women are more likely than men to experience brain activity relating to negative body perception. When it comes to negative perceptions of physical appearance, social pressures are believed to play a key role. Since women tend to be more susceptible to such pressures, this may explain in part why eating disorders affect women more than men.

answer:

women are more concerned with body image than men. one of these reason is because of the social pressures that society has placed on woman for years and years. women have been told that the skinnier that you are, the prettier you will be which is never the case. some of the other reasons that have caused women to be more 'at risk' of a eating disorder is the objectification of women and early se-xualizat-ion that has been around for a really really long time, one of the things that have been told and heard at least once in our lifetimes is that women are objects and should be treated that way ( something that i personally disagree with ) and how they are only here to satisfy the needs of men which goes back to what i was saying about how society/social media thinks that 'skinner the prettier.

the percentage in eating disorders is (3.8%) in females and (1.5%) in males. the percentage for females is over half of what the percentage in males is.

this is a part of a very controversial topic(s) for society but

i do hope this helps you and if you have any questions then feel free to ask them!! :)

Describe the ending of the story. On what basis does the narrator say of Brown, "his dying hour was his gloom"? What was Hawthor
ad-work [718]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The ending of "Young Goodman Brown" depicts the despair and melancholy that occurs when a Christian loses his faith and all his certainties are erased from his heart. Thus, he can no longer find peace in the society he sees as corrupted, in family members, in religion and in any other element around him.

2. When the author uses the expression "his dying hour was his gloom" he uses the melancholy, cynicism and extreme mistrust that Goodman presented before his death as a basis, which indicated to society that he was not one of the elected of God and died with that feeling of sadness that accompanied him to death and that he should not be part of an elected Christian.

3. The author's purpose was to show the ambiguity of Puritanism and Transcendentalism in New England, questioning the position of Puritans in situations where they are very controversial, situations that include sin, shame, judgment and murders.

4. In their stories Hawthorne shows how religions are created to bring us closer to God, but members of religions establish doctrines and dogmas that are controversial and put people's faith to the test, especially in relation to religion. In "Young Goodman Brown" he questions the sanctity of Puritan Christians amid the murders of people who were considered witches. This questioning is related to doubts about human goodness and salvation.

Answer:

This is very inspirational because it is talking about being unique. You don't <em>have </em>to fit. You just be you. And you should be proud of who you are because there can be no one else that can take your place.

What type of conflict do the details in this passage most reverl?
NemiM [27]

The complete question is:

I didn't know what to say. I had the same hot and cold feeling that I had when I first saw Grandpa in the street. The medicine bag was the dirty leather pouch I had found around his neck. "I could never wear such a thing," I almost said aloud. I thought of having my friends see it in gym class or at the swimming pool and could imagine the smart things they would say. But I just swallowed hard and took a step toward the bed. I knew I would have to take it.

What type of conflict do the details in this passage reveal?

Answer:

- Character Vs. Self

Explanation:

As per the question, the kind of conflict displayed through the passage would be 'character vs. self' as it exhibits a disagreement between the character's own inner instincts and emotions. This is clearly reflected through the inner struggle that the character goes through as reflected by his self-doubts. The <u>descriptions like 'I didn't know what to say...hot and cold feeling...swallowed hard' substantiate the claim that the character goes through a dilemma about his own opposing desires('thought of having friends...imagining smart things they would say')</u>.
