Body Image

I feel strongly about the problem with Anorexia for young girls today. Designers, fashion magazines, and friends put too much pressure on young ladies to be as skinny as possible in order to fit the society's "ideal look". Girls are constantly reminded to lose weight when opening a magazine or listening to their moms, friends, or celebrities talk about how they need to drop ten pounds. A way to fix this problem would be to raise more awareness about having a healthy body and eating for nutrition. Also, instead of looking up to models who seem like they have not seen food in weeks, we should learn to appreciate women for what they have accomplished. This would help young ladies focus less on how they look in a bikini and give them more time to achieve goals that do not have to do with a number on the scale.

You Don't Have to be Rude to Fly

Airports bring the worst out of people. As I noticed on my Spring Break Vacation, many people are stressed and suddenly get rude when they are close to an airplane. Passengers will do whatever it takes to skip long lines and trample over whoever is in their way. Even the flight attendants can get this contagious disease. One rude employee can destroy the reputation of an entire company. I will never fly a certain Airline (which will remain unnamed) because of the degrading attitude I encountered while flying home from spring break. One flight attendant had a bad attitude at a high altitude. When an elderly lady sitting close to me was suddenly struck with nausea, she was treated worse than a dog. The flight attendant yelled at her like she was a child instead of making accommodations. Anyone who needed assistance was treated with a rudely obnoxious remark. The point of my claim is that the service, whether great or degrading, creates a brand's image. It is always important to treat people with the utmost respect in order to build a credible reputation.
