"Failing at Fairness: How America's Schools Cheat
Girls."
[ send me this paper ]
(3 pp) According to Myra and David Sadker (1994),
"When girls do not see themselves in the pages of
textbooks, when teachers do not point out or
confront the omissions," these same girls, and
even the ones that some of us may know, " learn
that to be female is to be an absent partner in
the development of our nation. And when teachers
add their stereotypes to the curriculum bias in
books, the message becomes even more damaging."
Is there anything we can do?

"Fasting Girls: The Emerging Ideal Of Slenderness In American Culture": Overview
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Modern diets of teenage girls reflect the significant pressures placed upon impressionable adolescents. Whether the influence is that of popular culture, athletics or peer pressure, young girls are faced with conflicting information when it comes to how society perceives attractiveness. Joan Jacobs Brumberg's article entitled "Fasting Girls: The Emerging Ideal of Slenderness in American Culture" delves deeply into the reasons why American popular culture has such a stranglehold upon the way in which girls view themselves and the drastic actions they take in order to portray the image of slenderness. Much of the issues with body image and self-esteem manifest themselves in eating disorders, a particularly pertinent concern with impressionable adolescents. Eating disorders, such as bingeing, purging and fasting, are as much a part of adolescent life as Friday night pizza parties and football games. Adolescent females, in particular, are significantly more susceptible because they are keenly aware of their physical appearance, which is oftentimes distorted by an unbalanced self-esteem.
