Answer to Question 1

 Cross-cultural research has demonstrated that the portrayal of thin images through movies, TV, magazines, and Internet give unrealistic views of the ideal body
 Media exposure normalizes dieting and excessive thinness and encourages individuals to critically evaluate their bodies
 Difference between awareness and internalization
 Not every individual who is exposed to media images develops an eating disorder; therefore, it has been proposed that it is the internalization of these images that has the potential to lead to eating disorders
 Internalization is more important than awareness
 Child factors, family factors, cultural/social factors (including media) all have a role in the development of eating disorders
 Recommendations  critically review what images are portrayed through the various venues; be particularly vigilant about what images are used in programming for children and young adolescents; provide a balanced point of view for people of all sizes and shape; emphasize health and healthy self-images and body images

Answer to Question 2

C
