technical application

I have to write a new introduction for my paper so i thought i would brainstorm a little here first. I was thinking maybe a narrative because thats the best way to get my attention in a paper. 

#1- In China the women used to wrap their feet starting at a very young age so their feet wouldn't grow because small feet was seen a beautiful. In some african cultures it is seen as beautiful to pierce rings through their nose or pierce their body because the red bumps symbolize authority. In india they put hoops through their ears. In america young women are starving themselves because being thin in America is beautiful. Learning about different countries and what they do to symbolize beauty we tend to judge those people and think they are weird or crazy, but when in fact we do the same thing here in America. 

#2- I had a friend in high school that told me she was bulimic and wanted to get help. I asked why she did it, and she told me people liked her better when she was thinner and everyone wants to be her friend. I didn't understand because she already had a lot of friends and everyone already liked her. she was a great student that got good grades, was on the student counsel and was involved in other various school activities. In america beauty has been perceived as being thin, and young women are going to any length to achieve this.
