ESSAY ON: The Physical Body as "Power".

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: (6 pp) It is not unusual to think of the physical body as "power." Certainly the Greeks were attempting to visualize a powerful body centuries ago. Today, according to Young (1997), 8 million people suffer from eating disorders. For some reason or another, 7 million women and one million men are intentionally depriving their bodies of food. What we are seeing in the twentieth century, and into this one, is a philosophical displacement of that idea of power, in a destructive way as viewed through the conditions of anorexia and bulimia. This discussion will focus on that shift of power and its accompanying negative possibilities. Bibliography lists 8 sources plus 4 visuals of fashion models.
