Human Body Project Analysis

Improved Essays
The human body is such a familiar concept to us however we still have so many questions why things are the way they are. Some of us have irrational fears while others do not, we could be allergic to something that our neighbors are not. Even though humans have been cut from the same cloth we still have a large variation in who we are. This isn’t a problem per se, but it makes you question why things are the way they are. And for this project I will be focusing on the irrational fears that some humans face. In my body project I am going to get over my fear of flying. This territory is completely unexplored in my book anyway. My Grandfather was a World War Two veteran who repaired the B-24 planes in the United States Military. And I feel as …show more content…
I will have to look into various laws and regulations and see what I am allowed to do before, during, and after my flight. To initially prepare I purchased my tickets to and from, and now I will have to see what I am allowed to pack, and what does TSA entail. There are many questions that will arise during this study but I will figure them out as I go. The actual experience will be a whirlwind I will get my first experience of walking into an airport as a traveler instead of a “greeter.” Also going through what most travelers claim to be a pain which is airport security. I wouldn’t know one way or another so it will be interesting to see how it goes. I anticipate that traveling isn’t a huge difficulty, if it was I feel as though less would travel. Some potential obstacles I may encounter could be, going to the wrong gate at the airport, trying to avoid travel, and the process of getting my luggage post flight. Other than that I am not sure of what obstacles I may face. I have money at stake so cancelling the flight is not an option for me but in the case of what gate I travel to I could always ask just about anyone in the airport where I have to

    Adolescence is a challenging time for the majority of American youth. Between the hormonal changes faced during puberty and the transition from dependence on parents to emerging independence, it is no surprise that adolescence can be a frustrating time.

By using the developmental theories of Erik Erikson in combination with an analysis of my family dynamic and the challenges presented by body image dissatisfaction, I will take a profound look at my adolescence from a developmental-psychological perspective. I was raised by a single mother from the age…

These women feel as if America’s beauty industry is creating not only ridiculous, but deadly “standards” for today’s female youth. They take a very authoritarian tone throughout their argument.…

I wish I could do something like that with my life, except that I’ll never have the opportunity to do so. “How are you doing Olly?”…
