themselves, only eating a hundred calories a day, or refusing to eat at all. This leaves some girls in the hospital hooked up to an IV for their food. Another extreme disorder is bulimia; bulimia is ¨overeating¨ and follows it by self induced fasting or vomiting. Over one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives. Women tend to struggle with eating…

Most young adults, especially teenage girls, have social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr. Even more people read magazines, watch TV and movies and listen/watch music videos.

due to their culture. In this essay, I am going to bring evidence from the novel, as well as secondary sources, that Man was not fully satisfied as her name imposes and juxtapose it to other Vietnamese women. This evidence includes her marriage, her self-esteem and her expressed desire for Luc’s love. The meaning behind Man’s name, “perfectly fulfilled” (Thúy 27), contradicts her reality and the role expected of Vietnamese women. Man’s marriage is tedious and not one of fulfillment. Just as…

display high aggressive tendencies as well as low self-efficacy levels for performance/learning (Fullchange & Furlong, 2016). Wonke and Lereya (2015) posit that students who are exposed to bullying are likely to victimize others in revenge when they move to a different environment, for instance, a different school. Studies further showed bullies to run high risks of involvement in crime and delinquent acts later on in life (Wonke & Lereya, 2015). Self-esteem issues are also likely to develop as…

one must focus only on the goals of one specific tier at a time. Further, I disagree that humans always base their self-worth off of others holding on in esteem, or that that is desirable or necessary. Having struggled with extremely low self-esteem as a child and young adolescent, I do not believe that one can reach self-actualization without high self-esteem, and I believe that self-esteem must be based on acknowledging oneself, not on being acknowledged by others.
