Being overweight represents a certain source of distress for those suffering from it, producing a distortion in the creation and shape of self-image and having a durable influence over self-perception and self-esteem. The studies analyzing the issue of obesity dwell onto multiple aspects, such as - the connection between overweight and psychological well-being (Hayes & Ross, 1986; Ross, 1994), the "risk factors," namely the role of culture and family over eating disorders (Howarth-Hoeppner, 2000), the social constraints in eating patterns (Maykovitch, 1978), management and therapy of obesity (Stewart, 1987)
In order to assess the way in which each patient will respond to group therapy, a few personality factors should be considered, such as - the attitude towards authority and peers, the ability and desire to reveal one's weakness towards the other members of the group etc. (Powdermaker & Frank, 1953) The importance of the group for the effectiveness of the therapeutic program consists also in the fact that there is a leader of the group, who will control and focus the discussion, encouraging the patients to express their emotions and helping them find solutions for their problems, cope with the difficult issues they encounter, develop their social skills and etc

The present study intends to focus on finding efficient treatment for obesity among female college students, starting from the findings of previous studies showing "that being overweight has no direct effect on depression in any social group except among the well-educated" (Ross, 1994; 63)

' However, music therapy has also been shown to be effective in enhancing premature infants' and full term infants' developmental responses and parents' responsiveness to the children's needs. In informal musically-oriented play, infants encouraged to respond to music "by gazing, smiling, vocalizing, cooing, kicking, tapping, waving, and reaching out to touch the mother's face or musical toy when the mothers initiated music-play actions," showed significantly greater responsiveness and engagement with adults in one study (Walworth 2009)
The so-called personal information in profiles and revealed through online interactions can also destroy a member's potential employment or even get the member fired from a current job. Fear of these possibilities is not paranoid, as some prospective employers are already asking for applicants' Facebook login information and some employers have even sought out and misused users' personal interactions online to fire them from their jobs (Boyden, 2012)
Consequently, a person we may "know" online can be a very different person or even a nonexistent person. One recent example of the deceit allowed by the limited personal contact of online communications is the embarrassing situation of Manti Te'o, the Notre Dame University linebacker who was duped by another man into believing in and actually establishing a romantic relationship with a young woman who never existed (Eder, 2013)
Marketing companies are certainly aware of the abundance of personal information on Facebook that can be gathered and used to sell products. In fact, marketing researchers are already studying and devising ways to gather, examine and exploit the personal information that Facebook members and other social media users are placing in their profiles and revealing through their online activities (Gummerus, Liljander, Weman, & Pihlstrom, 2012)
In addition, Facebook continues to develop new features to provide interaction. As of today, the Facebook users can find, interact and share with each other through many tools, including pictures, videos, music, real-time chatting, posted text, symbols, links to outside sources of interest, personal timelines, personal biographies, name searches, scanned e-mail contact lists, news feeds, a ticker that lets the user know his/her Facebook friends' activities on Facebook, and personal status updates (Walker, 2013), live video chats (Hamilton J

Facebook became popular very early due to the facts that it is free and has unique features that allowed new ways for people to interact. One founder, Mark Zuckerberg, saw a unique way of have an open platform for communications by people who are "transparent" -- who really are who they seem to be (Keahey, 2010)
On one hand, social media such as Facebook is a boon. It helps users maintain and enhance "real life" friendships by sharing news, scheduling plans and staying in touch with distant friends (Lyday, 2012)
One founder, Mark Zuckerberg, saw a unique way of have an open platform for communications by people who are "transparent" -- who really are who they seem to be (Keahey, 2010). Based on that unique idea and a number of communication features, Facebook grew to its current membership of nearly 1 billion (Walker, 2013)
After Lori Drew learned of the suicide, she deleted the fake account. Lori Drew was convicted of several crimes, some under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, but those convictions were thrown out on appeal (Wu, 2009, p
"Thus, on the basis of culturally defined gender roles, men and women are expected to behave in certain ways; when they violate these expectations, others may evaluate them negatively." (Aguinis & Henle, 2001)
Norms constrain through the stigma that a community imposes; markets constrain through the price that they exact, architectures constrain through the physical burdens they impose; and law constrains through the punishment it threatens." (Lessig, p
" It is reported that the humanitarian intervention faces the challenge of whether its action should be "exempted from the general ban on the use of force." (Bellamy and Wheeler, nd) III
" (Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, nd) Evans and Sahnoun (2002) report that the international community has "repeatedly made a mess of handling the many demands that were made for 'humanitarian intervention: coercive action against a state to protect people within its borders from suffering grave harm." (Evans and Sahnoun, 2002) II
(Bellamy and Wheeler, nd, paraphrased) The work of Guraziu (2008) asks whether humanitarian military intervention in the affairs of another state ever justified and states "Michael Walzer argues that the duty of humanitarian intervention is justified 'when it is a response & #8230; 'to acts that shock the moral conscience of mankind." However, 'The general problem' writes Michael Walzer, 'is that intervention, even when it is justified, even when it is necessary to prevent terrible crimes (…) is (…) a duty that doesn't belong to any particular agent & #8230;" (Guraziu, 2008) Therein, lies the most pertinent of all problems when debating intervention in the occurrences of other states by uninvolved other states is the question of 'agent'
