Eating disorders among teenage girls Men and women are bound to have different experiences in health issues due to the differences in their physiological social, economic, biological, and cultural attributes. As such, analyzing health issues through gendered lenses can highly improve outcomes for specific populations. The symptoms of eating disorders among teenage girls are overeating when stressed, strict dieting, depressed moods, disappearing after a meal, drug or alcohol abuse, excessive exercise, and irregular menstrual cycle, skipping most meals, distorted body image, unusual eating patterns, frequent weighing, insomnia, dry skin, dental cavities, hyperactivity, and loss of hair (NEDA, 2018). Also, eating disorders significantly impact on a teenager’s mental and physical health. The disorders can affect a person’s cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems (U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2016).

Mass media Mass media has coexisted with Homo sapiens since the brink of time. Its stretches back beyond the dawns of recorded history to the individuals who wanted to reach out to a larger group of audience through any form of communication. A painting on the wall of a cave, or just by telling a story to a group of people. History of mass media can be traced back to the early days of dramas that were performed in various cultures. The word “media” was first mentioned in the 1920s, but back then, it referred to something that had its origin much further in the past, and the term Mass Media originated with the print media that was also its first example. The first newspaper was printed in China 868 AD, but due to the high cost of paper and illiteracy amongst people, it didn’t prosper. It was Johannes Gutenberg, who, for the first time, printed a book in a printing press in 1453. However, the invention of the printing press in the late 15th century gave rise to the…

Disparities in salary packages paid to male and female employees Disparities in salary packages paid to male and female employees have been widely documented and publicized for many decades. This trend has resulted in continued criticisms of gender-based societal domains. In the sports industry, there is significant wage inequality among female and male head coaches (Mckenna, 2016; Traugutt, Sellars, & Morse, 2018 ). Basketball provides a strong case in which there are profound disparities. For example, North Carolina Men’s basketball coach, Roy Williams earns a base salary of more than $2 million while the women’s head coach, Sylvia Hatchell, receives about $650,000 (University of North Carolina, 2016). This persistent disproportionate compensation in this industry underlines the continued problem that women have been undergoing in labor circles. In 2015, the difference between men and women pay gap was about 20.4% for full-time employees (Ament, 2017). Effectively, this gap implies female workers earned 79.6 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. While strides have been made over the years, the gender pay gap continues to exist in various industries (American…

GOALS IN PURSUING THE DOCTORATE INITIAL CONSIDERATION OF A DISSERTATION TOPIC Being a self-driven individual with high skills in conducting extensive online and physical library research, I intend to explore an examination of Coaches’ Mentoring practices that will improve African American Student-Athletes graduation rates. Recent research has proven that among 65 leading universities in the United States, the graduation rate among black male athletes continues to decline in comparison to any other black non-athletes and graduates. Further, the report reveals that when colleges and universities break for the College Football Playoff title, a substantial number of students predominantly blacks, do not report back but keep on observing the National Championship in Men’s Basketball (McGowan, 2018). As a result, the black male student-athletes end up being underrepresented in graduation. Knowingly, various proposals that cut across the sports media, NCAA, athletes, and their families have been aired to heal the situation. According to McGowan (2018), these recommendations include; a call by NCAA to disaggregate student-athletes’ data based on race, sport, sex, and division and the schools to focus on enrolling black students…
