    How right this is."Because the body image is integral to identity, for a woman to protest that these expectations are not realistic and perversely adolescent is to admit she does not possess it. "I especially liked ur appreciation of sandra lee bartky's works on cosmetics and self image... you handled the issues well,"Beauty is so firmly planted in society's psyche as the ultimate symbol of womanhood that eating disorders, distorted body images and body obsessions are seen as 'pathological' responses to a situation, rather than natural ones in a pathological situation."Very strong final (hmmm wish u'd edited) paragraph. Very impressive.

    Just wanted to commend you on an excellent essay. It is true that the USA has turned drug addicts in to the most loathsome creatures that walk the planet, and it is this attitude which is prolonging this ridiculous 'drug war'. Without support, there is unemployment, without job means without money, which leads to crime, which leads to a blackmarket which leads to a punitive attitude toward addicts which leads to withdrawal of support.... etcYou highlighted these issues very well and provided a very thorough account of the statutes, laws and attitude shifts in the last 2 centuries. Well done, i'd give you an A
