Body image is how a person sees their body. It is all mental. It is not really what a person looks like, but instead how they feel they look. A lot of body image is culturally based by emphasis on beauty. It is how you feel about yourself and how you think others perceive you. Body image is a good topic to study because it offers us some understanding in the world of eating disorders. It helps us to understand why these disorders often form and what we can to do fix them.
There are three waves of feminism. The first wave was women's suffrage, the second wave was equal pay and the thir wave centers on individual movements.
According to Ophira Edut, the definition of a body outlaw is a person that accepts what their body is naturally and doesnt try to conform to what society thinks their body should be. They are rebels, the won't alter their body. Some examples of body outlaws in pop culture today are Queen Latifa, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Farley and even Jessica Simpson. I feel these people are body outlaws because they don't really care what society has to say about them. They are happy with what they were given as a body and they embrace their bodies and are happy to show them off without regard to what others think.
