This research paper: The influence of popular culture is a double-edged sword when it comes to the ways in which it motivates social behavior; the ability to collectively rally people behind important causes is one of its more beneficial facets, while causing impressionable individuals – mostly adolescents – to severely modify caloric intake in order to become more socially acceptable is one of its most detrimental. As much an influence as popular culture is on the prevalence of anorexia and body image, other factors that include psychological, physiological, biological and environmental components are just as powerful an edict to a vulnerable, fragile and young psyche. Moreover, as Summerfield (2000) duly points out, "individuals who participate in athletics, who diet frequently, and who have diabetes may be at increased risk" (p. 47). Bibliography lists 4 sources.
