Root cause:
The root cause of body image is the media. In today's world we are surrounded by media all around, especially when people are on their phones, computers and television for more than 2 hours everyday. Statistics shown by Nationaleatingdisorders.org say that 80% of Americans watch television daily. The effects of media on body image contributes to people being pressured to have a perfect body like the ones they show on the media. The media also increases body dissatisfaction and eating disorders.
