In general, research concerning perfectionism has found that perfectionism was more pronounced in sports than in school or general life (Dunn et al., 2005). Subsequently, there is perhaps a probability that higher levels of perfectionism can be found among aesthetic athletes such as ballet dancers. Perfectionism as a predictor of eating pathology in the subculture of ballet should…
I never considered myself to be a perfectionist. If an outsider examined my life, they would not formulate the conclusion that I’m a perfectionist.

I agree that in some aspects of computers, we should not worry about whether if will fail or not and if it does then you compromise and find another way to do it When you send a bit, it detects if there is an error and corrects the error…
real. The videos and images are tampered with technology such as photoshop and surgical advances to fix imperfections giving us a false unattainable image of perfection for the everyday women. A perfectly crafted portrait of what a woman should look like for all to see, the need to be beautiful and the need to fulfill this idea of perfection is the dark truth of the media. Although some argue that this is all a matter of the mind it’s what you choose to believe. Women of all ages are exposed to…

Perfection itself is the ability to be faultless, to be free of all possible flaws, but it is our flaws that make us human. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy for people to accept that fact, Morgan Smith being one of them. Morgan was a fifteen year-old girl when it all started. She was so desperate to become society’s idea of perfection, she was ready to risk her life, happiness, and health to make it happen. In December of 2011, she had just become a sophomore in her high school. Until high school,…
