ResProj Paper Ideas

Crash dieting, as well as the many other diets that are around in today’s society, are for people who are looking for a quick solution to help them lose weight at a fast rate, rather than making healthy long term changes that will result in a lifelong diet.”

-I would like to look deeper into the reasons as to why people’s diets have changed so much. I could research more in depth how our culture has changed and how these changes have affected the ways people choose to diet in today’s society.

“The media makes it seem as though people will only be accepted if they fit the standards of what is being shown in movies and magazines. As humans we strive to become the perfect image to impress others and fit in with the crowd. To get the bodies that we want we come up with diets that are fast and help us lose weight as quickly as possible.
-I guess in a way I would be using part of the same ideas from the first quote that I posted above, but with this idea I could look more into how media has affected society over time. I would look up the most influential people/celebrities in our culture today and look into how they have helped to shape the ways in which people have gone about dieting.

 After reading these quotes from my 2syn paper what do you think about these topic ideas? Do you understand what I am getting at? And which one sounds best to use for the 3ResProj paper? Why?

  1. First I would like to say that both of your ideas are clear and easy to understand. I think that your topic of dieting in both ideas will grab much interest because of how much of an impact dieting has on everyone in today's society. Personally I like the second idea more because people I feel your audience will be more captivated in seeing how different celebrities have effected the way our culture today diets.
