RCG Action Project Questions Annice Wyatt -Choose a topic a. What has been the most interesting issue you have learned about in RCG? The thing that I really found the most interesting to learn and listen to in RCG Class was all the Gender Projects. I really loved every single one and learned so much from each one. If I had to choose I liked Hannah and Emma’s presentations on Anorexia and Bulimia. As a girl, I feel more like I can experience it, and I also have a friend that had Anorexia when she was in her early teens. I find it has a very serious topic and it happens to girl’s people my age, which is very frightening.

b. What Problem or Issue seems the most serious to you? The problem that I really think is the most serious is Anorexia, Bulimia, and Rape. All three of these issues can happen to anyone, at any age and damage him or her for the rest of their lives.

c. How do you see yourself working to change any of the things you have learned about? Yes I do, I am planning on making some type of movie on iMovie to show the girls in our school or maybe have it posted on a website see that Anorexia isn’t something they want to go through, and experience like some teenagers do. I know that some girls have very low self-esteem and I want to help them build their esteem back up.

-Research your topic a. What Questions will guide your study? The type of questions I will ask to preform my project and basically create it is questions like
 * What leads girls to not eating?
 * How can this affect them emotionally and mentally?
 * How can this affect you physically?
 * Who becomes Anorexic?
 * What causes it?
 * What are signs of it?

What is the History of the problem? The words Anorexia Nervosa means “Nervous Loss of Appetite” The people who suffer from it do not all lack of appetite, but they are only scared if putting on weight. The most common cause for is today is the media. It leads people to believe that the idea of being thin is the right way to live and the right way to live their lives. Another basic cause is that the Media focuses a lot on sports and exercises, which can lead people to, an extreme focus on one’s body. In 1684, it was not yet described for the first time, but it was not until 1870 that it was describes and was given its own Diagnosis.

-What is already being done? a. What support groups are involved? ANAD and NEDA, etc.… b. They help by holding support groups, which can help many teens, come together with the same issue and talk about it. -Create a Project Ideas for project 1) Earn money and give to the organizations to give them more attention and welcome people to their organization 2) Make a film of a sort and send it to different sites, websites, etc. to show them about Anorexia.

What will the project be? I really like both of these ideas, and since I love making moves and editing things. I would like to make a short documentary/film about Anorexia and try to get it posted on different sites, such as gender sites or any of the organizations sites to get people to recognize the issue and let them know where they can find help,
