  • Warum Seh' Ich Nicht So Aus? – Fernsehen Im Kontext Von Essstörungen
    „Jede, die nicht mindestens so aussieht, „In meinem Kopf war / ist fest ist hässlich und dick.“ verankert: Wenn ich dünn bin, (Cassandra, 18 Jahre und dann ist alles einfacher. Das ganze seit 4 Jahren an Leben. Ich bin nicht wegen Germany’s Magersucht erkrankt) Next Topmodel magersüchtig geworden, dennoch hat es eine Rolle gespielt. Und heute schaue ich es bewusst NICHT WARUM mehr an! Denn es würde die Magersucht wieder so richtig pushen.“ (Lia, 18 Jahre alt und seit 3 Jahren „So wie die an Magersucht erkrankt) möchte ich gerne aussehen. Dafür muss ich SEH’ NICHT nur noch abnehmen. Und ICH dann kann man oft nicht mehr aufhören und rutscht in die Magersucht.“ FERNSEHEN IM KONTEXT VON ESSSTÖRUNGEN ESSSTÖRUNGEN VON FERNSEHEN IM KONTEXT (Denise, 14 Jahre und seit 2 Jahren an Magersucht – SO ? erkrankt) AUS „Warum seh‘ ich nicht so aus?“, fragt sich so manche junge Frau, wenn sie die Frauen in TV-Serien, die Bewerberin- FERNSEHEN IM KONTEXT nen beim Bachelor oder Deutschland sucht den Superstar sieht – und vor allem wenn sie sich mit den Kandidatinnen von Germany’s Next Topmodel vergleicht. Für die meisten Zuschauerinnen ist es „nur“ frustrierend und beeinflusst ihr Selbstvertrauen, dass sie der vorgegebenen Norm nicht genügen. Für andere kann dieser Gedanke und der Wille VON ESSSTÖRUNGEN sich zu ändern in schwere, langwierige Krankheiten führen: Essstörungen, wie Magersucht und Bulimie. Es sind natürlich nicht ausschließlich Fernsehsendungen oder Medienbilder, die zu diesen schweren psychosoma- tischen Störungen führen. Die Ursachen sind immer komplexer und viele Variablen und Problemlagen sind für die Entstehung von Essstörungen verantwortlich. Dennoch spielen Fernsehsendungen oftmals eine wichtige Rolle.

  • Wanna Be on Top?
    Jones 1 Alyssa Jones Instructor’s Name ENGL 1013 Date Wanna Be on Top? Since its 2003 debut, the television series America’s Next Top Model has faced harsh criticism by those who feel that the program should be discontinued. Some people perceive a majority of the unapologetically beautiful contestants to be superficial due to the obvious acknowledgement of their good looks by society. At first glance, the perpetual fault-finders of the world believe that the show focuses mainly on external beauty and the ease of being photographed for a living. On the contrary, each episode is proof of the misconception that wrongly plagues professional modeling. Commonly abbreviated as ANTM or simply Top Model, the twelve-part reality television series has aired a whopping twenty-four seasons as of 2018 and has produced over forty widely successful international spin-offs. In theory, the show is a fierce competition for aspiring models that intend to have a professional career in the ever-evolving art of modeling. The show begins with thousands of unique people who virtually audition and are eventually limited to a select fifteen to twenty contestants, who then relocate to an extravagant home that serves as the model house for the duration of the competition, where they participate in various challenges, such as abnormal photo and commercial shoots, with one individual being eliminated at the end of each episode, based on lack of modeling skills, attitude, personality, etc. Despite what critics believe, the television series America’s Next Top Model should be renewed for its twenty-fifth season because of its large fan-base who depend on the show for entertainment purposes, because of its ability to empower people of all ages, and because host Jones 2 Tyra Banks deserves to remain in the spotlight.

    15 OCTOBER 2018 HAASE ET AL. 8481 The Importance of a Properly Represented Stratosphere for Northern Hemisphere Surface Variability in the Atmosphere and the Ocean SABINE HAASE GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Kiel, Germany KATJA MATTHES AND MOJIB LATIF GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, and Christian-Albrechts-Universitat€ zu Kiel, Kiel, Germany NOUR-EDDINE OMRANI Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, and Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, Bergen, Norway (Manuscript received 3 August 2017, in final form 18 July 2018) ABSTRACT Major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are extreme events during boreal winter, which not only impact tropospheric weather up to three months but also can influence oceanic variability through wind stress and heat flux anomalies. In the North Atlantic region, SSWs have the potential to modulate deep convection in the Labrador Sea and thereby the strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. The impact of SSWs on the Northern Hemisphere surface climate is investigated in two coupled climate models: a stratosphere- resolving (high top) and a non-stratosphere-resolving (low top) model. In both configurations, a robust link between SSWs and a negative NAO is detected, which leads to shallower-than-normal North Atlantic mixed layer depth. The frequency of SSWs and the persistence of this link is better captured in the high-top model. Significant differences occur over the Pacific region, where an unrealistically persistent Aleutian low is observed in the low-top configuration. An overrepresentation of SSWs during El Niño conditions in the low-top model is the main cause for this artifact. Our results underline the importance of a proper representation of the stratosphere in a coupled climate model for a consistent surface response in both the atmosphere and the ocean, which, among others, may have implications for oceanic deep convection in the subpolar North Atlantic.

More Photos » By JACOB BERNSTEIN, BEE­SHYUAN CHANG, MARY BILLARD, ALEX WILLIAMS, RUTH LA FERLA, LAURA M. HOLSON andJOHN HARNEY Published: November 7, 2012 By JACOB BERNSTEIN, BEE­SHYUAN CHANG, MARY BILLARD, ALEX WILLIAMS, RUTH LA FERLA, LAURA M. HOLSON and JOHN HARNEY AT 9 p.m. Friday, the Eastern Bloc, a popular gay bar in the East Village, was ready for business. The Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)” blared, and the room was bathed in a red glow. “The power’s on, the ice machine is going, we threw out all the bad fruit,” said Matt Nasser, the bartender. “We’re cutting fresh ones and the alcohol didn’t go bad.” But not a single customer was yet in sight. Most still seemed to be at home, recovering from Hurricane Sandy by cleaning out their refrigerators and reflexively turning on every light switch and testing every household appliance, just to reassure themselves that power had really returned to Lower Manhattan. That would soon change. For four sleepy nights, the bars, restaurants and A-list spots that make downtown Manhattan a party capital went dark. So when the lights flickered back early Friday evening in the East Village, SoHo, Chelsea and elsewhere, bars were open practically within seconds, with patrons partying at the (aptly named) Electric Room at the Dream Downtown hotel past 3 a.m.

Um zunächst eine gemeinsame Basis zu schaffen, bedarf es einer theoretischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Beg- riff „Schönheitdeal“. Darauf Aufbauend muss eingehend der Umgang sowie die Verwendung dieses Sinngehaltes in Medien, hier im Speziellen dem deutschen TV- Format „Germanys next Topmodel“, beleuchtet werden. Diesbezüglich soll insbe- sondere auf die marketingpolitischen Aspekte und dem Erfolgskonzept von Model- Castingshows eingegangen werden. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit leitet über die negativen Auswirkungen dieses in den Medien propagierten Schönheitsideales, (insbesondere auf die Körperzufriedenheit der Frauen fokussierend) zu den präventiven Maßnahmen in der gesellschaftlichen Sphäre über.
