Body Image

This week in beginnings we talked about the issues of body image, sexual assault, and porn. The part that really stuck out to me and the thing that I struggle with most is body image. I feel that I struggle with it the most as compared to porn and sexual assault.
My view on body image is that it is a real thing that both men and women struggle with. I think that there is so much pressure in our world today to be thin and to look like a supermodel. I have never gone to such lengths as not eating or throwing up after I eat, but i am not going to say that the thought has never crossed my mind.
I think that sexual assault is another issue that everyone needs to discuss at one point or another. I classify sexual assault as exactly what the definition in beginnings said. I it that it is really sad how many women who are assaulted and I believe that no one deserves to be treated that way.
Porn addiction is another issue that we talked about in beginnings. Porn is not something that I struggle with but I do know a couple of people who have, and they struggle almost everyday with it. I feel that porn is a little demeaning to women, because I feel that it portrays women as objects. However; when I here that someone was addicted to porn and they are trying to work on getting away from that addiction, i don't judge them. I feel that no one has room to judge someone else. I feel that I topics this week in beginnings are all real issues that people need to talk about and I am really happy we discussed the topics in beginnings and in our alpha groups.
