                                                                    Barbados Introduction
(Hook) Body Image is the perception that a person has of their physical self and the thoughts and feelings that result from that perception. (Bridge)The formation of a body image can be derived from a person's cultural upbringing and geographical region. In regions such as the Caribbean, the climate tends to be warmer, therefore clothing is more open, and more skin is shown. Women of all shapes and sizes must dress a certain way to remain cool. (Thesis) When I think of Barbados, and the women influencers from this island, many of them have an hourglass shape. There must be a certain body image that women aim to have.

                                  About Me         I am a young student, who is enrolled in high school and college. Young I may be, I've traveled to many places, including Spain, Italy, France, Monaco, London, Amsterdam, Costa Rica, Saint Martin, Jamaica, Nicaragua, and Mexico. I travel in hopes of being able to learn and embrace other cultures, so I can perhaps help people of all nations and colors one day. I plan to become an International doctor because I'd like to make a change and an impact in this world and lifetime. Putting your best into everything you do is something I live by because no one is promised tomorrow. This blog is going to consist of my research on Barbados so I can catalog information to help better understand this culture.

There aren't many issues in Barbados, so a challenge                               of writing this paper was finding credible sources on Barbados. Rihanna is an influencer                     who was born and raised in Barbados and has gone through racial and physical                                     discrimination. I will also be discussing how body image is perceived and advertised.                           Along with how/ whether or not women and young girls are affected by the islands status                     quo.

As time and society changes, body types are being discussed               more in Bar
