For the first time attention, the psychological problem of perception by people of his own body was given in the 70s of the last century. The NAAFA organization was organized in the United States just at this time - its activities showed the inhabitants of the country and the whole world that people with excess weight need to help take their body and solve their household problems. The term "bodiposive" appeared in 1996 - then the American psychotherapist, together with his client, created a site titled "The Body Positive" to improve the results of treatment. After years, not only the meaning of this term has changed, but also the direction has acquired a massive species - there are no people who would not hear about this movement. He tried to place everything in places and popular language to explain that there is "bodypositive" and its subtypes.
Where did the move going from
In the 1850-90s, the first wave of feminism was held when women openly performed for the refusal of dangerous clothes. First of all, they called for to ban damaging corsets that women put on to create an elegant waist. At the same time, women fought for the opportunity to wear pants on a par with men - now it seems ridiculous to us, but then such a breakthrough meant a lot in changing the perception of your own body. In the late 60s in the United States for the right of people, celebrities began to speak out of their own body. Radio-friendly Steve post offered people non-standard forms to collect together in the Central Park to discuss the problem. Six months later, the writer Luj Lodalbeck published an essay in which he admitted that a long time criticized his wife for her completeness and called on people to change to become tolerant to others.
How the bodypositive looks now
Modern "bodypositive" is divided into several directions and is not limited to the adoption of completeness. It belongs to the excrelable attitude towards someone else's body, the adoption of its body and changes with him. So Actress Jennifer Aniston more than once noted in an interview, which does not accept compliments on the appearance in comparison with age. Other stars also called up to stop evaluating people by age and treat aging as a natural process, not tragedy. Gradually, not only the figure is adjusted to the term "bodiposive", but also a person's right to manage their body - shave or not shave the hair, what hairstyle to wear, whether to make a manicure or walk without a varnish on the nails and so on. Moreover, this area applies not only to women, but also men. Summing up the interim outcome, you can confidently say that the main mission of "bodiposive" - get rid of stereotypes.

What awaits us in the future
The movement of "bodiposive" argues that beauty is just a design of society. It is possible to trace this by what the standards are set different groups - in some of it will be snow-white teeth and chinful breasts, and in others, as in African tribes, a long neck and stretched uches. Psychologists believe that the idea of beauty is to overcome it is impossible, but it is likely to create an information environment in which people will not be stimulated to discuss appearance and over time to get rid of this habit, reducing interest in external qualities in general. Since the same direction is developing in relation to people with disabilities or congenital defects, it is likely that a dozen years later, people will become more kind and open towards each other.
