Man vs. Self
She didn’t have to starve herself like that. She could have taken a normal diet instead but she felt that wasn’t good enough so she chose herself a more extreme diet.

I'd say man vs. self, because she physically did that to HERSELF. True though that the cause of her psychological state stems from society, but all in all she still did that to herself, by herself. She chose to be a model, and she chose to do that.

Man vs Nature. It just HAPPENED naturally. I guess.

It could fall into both categories.
She is fighting herself in the way that she is anorexic and her body needs more nutrition. She starved herself to death on foods that don’t really help your body.
Also, society pressures her into being anorexic, she is going by their opinions, not what should be done.
You might want to pick a different article if you really can’t decide.
Both will work though, you just have to back up your arguement.

Man vs Self

I have struggled with Anorexia Nervosa since I was 12. I can tell you that the media did not force me into it. I just kind of “slipped” into this bad behavior. Sometimes the media influences or pushes girls to slip into that behavior, but mostly it is one fighting with her inner self. Every day is a living hell. I fight with my self constantly. I know another girl with an eating disorder who is Amish, and the Amish have no outside media influence, let alone mirrors. So, she was fighting herself.

Hope that this could clear things up.
Best of Wishes.

man vs. society. technically it could be seen as both but classifying it as man vs. society gives you a chance to express your thoughts about the problem in a better manner. good luck. <3

This is a definite case of "woman vs society."

I think it would be man vs. self because they are fighting against they’re urge to eat right in order to fit in.
it wouldn’t be man vs. society because they’re trying to fit in with they think society wants.

I would say man vs society because the pressure from society to be “perfect” and thin, it caused her to develop anorexia, which became man vs self.

But man vs society started it.

That’s what I think.

Hope I helped.

In a way it can be somehow both..
Man vs. self to win against man vs. society.
It’s a whole mental conspiracy
