-She is a feminist and philosopher
-She talks about the ways in which media pressures women (e.g. pressuring them to diet), even in more secluded regions of the world like Fiji
- "Fiji is just one example. Until television was introduced in 1995, the islands had no reported cases of eating disorders. In 1998, three years after programs by the United States and Britain began broadcasting there, 62 percent of the girls surveyed began dieting" ]]> 2021-03-13 20:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/teodoramirkovi7/xd8vwxcpihxclbpl/wish/1305947546 teodoramirkovi7 https://padlet.com/teodoramirkovi7/xd8vwxcpihxclbpl/wish/1305953002 The feminist philosopher Susan Bordo deplores Western media's obsession with female thinness and dieting. her basic complaint is that increasing numbers of women across the globe are being led to see themselves as fat and in need of a diet. Citing the islands of Fiji as a case in point, Bordo notes that "until television was introduced in 1995, the islands had no reported cases of eating disorders. In 1998, three years after programs by the United States and Britain began broadcasting there, 62 percent of the girls surveyed began dieting." Bordo's point is that the Western cult of dieting is spreading even to remote places across the globe. Ultimately, Bordo complains, the culture of dieting will find you, regardless of where you live. ]]> 2021-03-13 20:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/teodoramirkovi7/xd8vwxcpihxclbpl/wish/1305953002 https://padlet.com/teodoramirkovi7/xd8vwxcpihxclbpl/wish/1332822697 Susan Bordo, a feminist philosopher, criticizes the Western media's concern with female thinness and dieting. Her real worry is that a growing number of people around the world are being led to believe that they are fat and in need of a diet. Bordo uses the Fijian islands as an example, noting that "until television was introduced in 1995, the islands had no documented cases of eating disorders. In 1998, three years after programs from the United States and the United Kingdom started arriving, 62 percent of the girls interviewed began dieting." Bordo's point is that the Western cult of dieting is spreading even to the most distant parts of the world. However, Bordo complains, the dieting culture will find you no matter where you live.
