McClelland argues on the history of women altering their body for the benefit of the society. She believes that their perception of the needs of the society push women towards changing their body image. There is a potential bias in the analysis based on her standing on the position of women in the society for the past several decades since she is female. The article will help in looking at the factors leading to people changing their body image. Culture and societal expectations are mentioned by McClelland in the article.

The article attempts to understand the ideal body of a model. It opposes the move of the government of France to pass on a legislation regarding body weight. Penalizing people and inhibiting underweights from being models through penalties affects body image. The article was reviewed and printed on Time magazine website hence a reliable source of information. I would use the source to point out on the effects of extreme influences based on poor body image. The societal standard of body image can be seen through the article.
