Running Head: SLENDER TRAP 2
SLENDER TRAP 2
Introductory paragraph
Hook: “Slender Trap” or anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder for young people, especially young women
Background: In Anorexia nervosa, the body is deprived of food becoming thin. Trina Piscatelli argues it’s as a result of negative social conditions for young women.
Thesis: Indication of socioeconomic and genetic in anorexia nervosa refutes Piscatelli’s argument.
Subpoints: Anorexia nervosa is caused by; poverty, genetic conditions, and social acceptance
Body paragraph #1
Topic Sentence: Anorexia in self-installed for those aiming to lose weight.
Evidence: The person eats less food, participates in rigorous exercise, takes appetite suppressants, and engages in other weight-losing behaviors. 1% of women starve and exercise to death annually.
Explanation: Eating and exercising behaviors are intentional. They have, however, proved ineffective and inadequate.
Transition sentence: Despite negative social conditions being risk factors, there are other risk factors.
Body paragraph #2
Topic Sentence: Genetic factors impact the onset of Anorexia.
Evidence: Genes code for brain chemicals that control digestion, appetite, hunger, and personality traits (hypersensitivity, emotional instability, perfectionistic tendencies, and obsessive thinking).
Explanation: People with eating disorders have an imbalance in these chemicals as a result of genes mutations in HDAC4 and ESRRA genes result in appetite decrease.
Counterclaim: In spite of having these traits, some genes increase the possibility of developing eating disorders.
Rebuttal: Since the disorders can develop when genetic factors interact with the environmental factors, they are not the major causes of the eating disorder.
Transition Sentence: Although genes are not the major contributors of Anorexia, they are a significant contributor.
Body paragraph #3
Topic Sentence: Poverty is a contributor to Anorexia nervosa.
Evidence: Poor people skip meals in order to either save money or because they can’t afford it. Eating disorders are worse in people experiencing sexual violence, rape culture, trauma from racism, lack of medical care, income inequality.
Explanation: Poverty forces people to save money, save calories or skip meals resulting in the development of Anorexia.
Transition Sentence: Looking at the evidence from poor people who developed Anorexia nervosa as a result of financial constraints, Piscatelli’s argument is invalidated.
Concluding paragraph
Topic and its Importance: The topic; “Slender Trap” is caused by negative social conditions is important in helping explore whether Anorexia is caused by other risk factors.
Thesis: Implication of poverty and genetic disorders as risk factors invalidates Piscatelli’s argument that it’s only caused by social negative conditions.
Summary of Main Points: Mutations in the genes coding for personality traits and brain chemicals that control appetite, hunger, and digestion results in eating disorders. Exercise comes along with behavior adjustments due to personality traits.
Poverty is implicated in Anorexia nervosa since poor people starve themselves due to financial constraints.
Social conditions that label slim women as attractive also contribute to anorexia.
Call of Action: A holistic approach to addressing Anorexia nervosa is necessary rather than blatantly implicating negative social conditions, especially in young women.
