Gender and Society
I think that I have become a social advocate for my topic because I am now willing to go out and do things for the Topics that I feel are important. I have been more willing to talk about the things that I care about and show how I have been shaped into that person. I want people to know that my topic is something important for all people to know about it. I want them to know that eating disorders are the leading mental health disease in death.
I learned that the basic needs for people are affected by the things that are said to them or things that happen to them. At the beginning of the semester we learned that there are social and basic needs that every person has and it is different for each person. Before this semester I didn’t know anything about the social and basic needs. It was something that I learned as we were going and slowly started to apply it to the class and in my other classes as well. I would apply it to the book that we were reading in humanities (The Bluest Eye) and how Pecola’s social and sometimes basic needs were affected because of the family that she was born into.
For my social topic I think that the needs that are not met are status because the models and people in the spotlight they usually have a lot of the same features and so status isn’t something that everyone has but it is different for each person. I think that this can be hard for some people to not have these things because they need it to live but others don't. Most people do want this and it causes them to act different ways.

I think that there has been times where people don’t have their social needs met. There has been times throughout all parts of history such as the civil rights movement but even within my topic people have been looked at differently but their shape and what they look like. I think that depending on the person in charge there are different things that are done to help the advocacy. I think that the people from all around have came together to advocate for things that they believe in and make sure that they are standing up for things that need to change. Sometimes depending on the topic the people in charge respond it in a negative way and sometimes they respond in a positive way.I think that there are a lot of teens that do big things for the community. Teenagers are the future and they do, do a lot for the community.
