Subject: Eating disorders

I'm not sure if I think if eating disorders should be covered in this class. It is a part of development for some so it does fit in the life span development topic, and it mainly occurs during adolescence and in some cases sooner, so the placement as far as topics being discussed was appropriate, but the subject matter I'm not so sure about. I know that it might bias some individuals or have some of us a little to aware of the problem, and assuming individuals have a disorder they don't necessarily have. I have often been accused of having an eating disorder just because I'm not as hungry as other people, but I eat when I'm hungry, and that’s the point to eat when your body needs to be fed. On the other hand, it could possibly help you to diagnose or avoid the problem all together. It can make us more aware of our word selection and choices when describing something or someone. I guess whether or not this issue is important to this class has a lot to do with why your taking this class and if it will be relevant in the area you plan on teaching in or profession you are entering.
