ELA Test Prep: Break Homework #3

The purpose of the article New Israeli Law Bans Underweight Models In Ads  By the Associated Press, is to show that finally something is being done about unhealthy models giving bad examples of girls. This is important because the measures being taken and that are outlined in this article, will save girls into falling into the trap of an eating disorder
        
First of the purpose of the article New Israeli Law Bans Underweight Models In Ads  is important is because it shows that being super skinny doesn’t mean beautiful. For example: “Milan's fashion week bans models with a BMI below 18.5.” This shows that instead of promoting eating disorders by displaying models with the disorders, the fashion industry is taking a stand, and realizing that its more important to display a healthy lifestyle rather than an unhealthy one. Which I think is extremely important.
        
Lastly the purpose of the article New Israeli Law Bans Underweight Models In Ads .  Is important because it shows that the government is stepping up and protecting young girls from bad body images by creating a law that requires models to be at  a healthy to be allowed to be on ads for example: “A new Israeli law is trying to fight the spread of eating disorders by banning underweight models from local advertising” This quote shows that law is now in the fight against eating disorders and is trying to prevent them. Which is important because day by day people are influenced by magazines and ads of extremely skinny models who are unhealthy, and they decide to mimic what they see, because they believe that is what they are supposed to look like.
        
From this passage I’ve learned that the government in Isreal is helping to prevent eating disorders and the purpose of the article
New Israeli Law Bans Underweight Models In Ads  have great importance.
