I think that some parts of society are trying to promote a message about respect for the body, but overall I think that most aspects of society promote disrespect. I think society is failing to promote respect because many TV shows and movies portray the body as an object for other people to use. I think that the biggest problem that has to do with the body is people not eating because they want to look celebrity skinny. I think that celebrities contribute to the misuse of bodies because most people feel that they have to act like those people to be liked or have a perfect life. I think that all people should love the body that God has given them and treat it with total respect.
You are correct in noting that there are some positive messages, but how quickly they become covered up by negative influences in the media—movies, music, and images compromise the integrity of our bodies, which are gifts from God. God does not want to see his gift destroyed or belittled. As you say, we must love the body that God has given us and treat it with holiness.
