Part 2:

The two scholarly journal article I choose is pretty similar in many ways. One of the main topic these both journals talk about how girls body image has been ported in the society.The both journals investigated the situation about eating disorder, surveys and young participant that told their side of the story about eating disorder/body image.The first journal mainly talks about how to get over eating disorder, what are the problem a eating disorder person may face, the age group that mostly has that disorder and the medication they should take. The second journal also talk about the age group but they also talk about young boys facing eating disorder but they don't talk about it because in the society it's a girly topic to talk about body and etc.The first journal has many information and has many details about the disorder and how to overcome but these second journal mainly focus on the gender that faces the eating disorder the most.The first journal argument is why is there cases get present for treatment? The second journal argument is why boys don't feel comfortable about talking about their body?

Part 4:

There are many aspect in these two articles but the aspects that strike me the most is is young generations have more chance of having eating disorder. Also the fact that ten percent young girls in the world face some kind of eating disorder.The most interesting fact I found out is only few percent of the population cases that involve eating disorder are getting treated or they choose not to/don't know where t get help form.
