Introduction
The world today has a different view on how men and women should look. Men should be tall,
lean, and muscular while women should be skinny, has curves, and look like a Barbie Doll. The
problem with this is, everyone is built differently or have disorders where they can’t achieve this
desired look. It is known that more women than men have eating disorders but no matter what
gender you are it’s still dangerous to your health.
Task
Students will be assigned to a group forming a total of 3 groups. They will create a poster using,
either using PowerPoint or creating it with colored pencils, markers, etc. Each student will be
required to play a part in contributing on the presentation. The presentation should be a
minimum of 7 minutes.
