No way out no way , was a great article in which i think Becky Thompson made some valid points and stated some interesting facts. She used three theoretical models to explain it all she used the Biomedical model which offered the scientific research, the psychological model which exapkined the danger of starvation and purging and the Feminist model which offered an explanation to why the majority of the people that have an eating disorders are women and how gender socialization and sexism may relate to eating problems. I agree with Becky because most women now and days go for what they see on tv and forget to be who they think they are when they look in a mirror a majorty of the teens now and days all wanna be skinny because they think itll be cool and they would fit in. Class, poverty and all of it have to do with what becky is saying and why women do what they do when they turn to food for confort like in the experiment she made she pick these random girls in which they all had a diiferent experience and yet all knew why they turned to food at the end of day. its like a drug the only differences was that it was illegal and wasnt going to kill them like drug would have done.
The hispanic drop out rate is so big and out of control because many hispanic like stated in the short story dont know english or maybe because they want to fit in. For instance, that mexican girl who dropped out because she wante to fit in. Many time they drop out because they want to help there family so they get jobs preventing them gooing to school. poverty has well has a lot to do with it because if a family had enough to give ethere kids wouldnt have to work and try to earn a living .the hispanic drop out rate is also were is at because the spanish speaking students probably dont feel like they being are being helped and instead there being laughed were as if there going to school they expect to be getting some extra help because they dont know english.
