Week 7: Assignment 2

“How do adolescents get involved with eating disorders?”
            This week after further reviewing my past sources, I made some changes and found new sources. I made this change because I made a few changes to my research question and I felt that some of the first few sources that I found were irrelevant to my question. My current sources explain several influences such as social norms, cultural practices and expectations, and also personal disapproval and self-image. I decided to continue using the EBSCOHost tool to find more sources because I have used this tool in the past and feel most comfortable with it. I also used the CRAAP tool in order to research and double check that the articles/sources were relevant, credible, and accurate.

            Because my question is a little broad, I feel that I found several different sources which not only answer my question but also provide extra information. I have information in regards to several causes which may influence adolescents into eating disorders as well information in regards to history, statistics, and possible treatments. I personally feel that the most interesting part of my research would be the causes and influences which lead to eating disorders. People are already aware of the large amount of eating disorders, however they are still unsure about the many causes which lead adolescents to fall into such extremities.
