Plastic surgery has evolves in the past few decades . Today it is not just limited on being a method used by people who wants to lose signs of aging .These days, plastic surgery has increase its numbers within teens of ages13-19 ; they frequently acquire surgery such as breast augmentation , male breast reduction , nose reshaping , botox , laser hair removing .Teens are forged into the psychoanalysis of our society due to their fear of rejection . These sociocultural attitudes towards the appearance of adolescents who feel the urge to look appealing to the public eye and to be accepted by their peers. Many people assume a good looking person automatically has to be intelligent, competent, pleasant, and healthier. we often see that, if two people are on a job interview, the one who is more likely to get the job is the one who is more alluring to the interviewer. Everyday we look up to personalities such as models, and celebrities that we often idolize, because of their perfect body, bone structure, shapes and facial beauty. our ego has became a part of our scholasticism which englobes both body , soul self confidence, and image .Everyone wants to look good and feel good about themselves , that is the reason plastic surgery is a compensation in our life.

Each of us has a "self-image," a perception of how we believe we look to others. People who are happy with their self-image are more likely to be self-confident, effective in work and social situations, and comfortable in their relationships. Those who are dissatisfied tend to be self-conscious, inhibited, and less effective in activities.
ReplyDeletePlastic surgery -- whether cosmetic or reconstructive -- encourages and promotes a strong, positive self-image. Even a small change on the outside can create an extraordinary change on the inside, allowing an individual's self-confidence to flourish.
This is especially true, for teenagers as this is a confusing time, as a teenager struggle to discover their true identity, it is important that they develop self-confidence and if plastic surgery will help them to feel better about themselves so be it.
I blame this way of thinking on no one but ourselves, we allowed this to happen. Everyone knows that the majority of our population isn’t a size two, and most of us don’t have six pack abs. Even the people who publish these Magazines, and make these shows don’t believe that what they publish is our true society. Our society would prefer to see pretty rather than real, what they fail to see is that the idea of “pretty” has been made up by our society. If they showed the “average” person in all the fancy magazines and popular shows, then no one would feel the need to alter the way they look.
ReplyDeleteHeather I see your point that we, as a society, have allowed ourselves to get to this point. But at what point does the individual take responsibility. I tend to believe that even though there are large numbers of people who want to nip,snip,and tuck whatever it is on their persons, that there are people who realize that their natural beauty never fades away. Beauty after a certain age no longer deals with the exterior. It probably never should have, but that is not the issue here. The issue is the need for this culture to place beauty as the ultimate thing to possess in this got-to-have culture here in this country. So in order to be and stay beautiful, don't exercise and feel healthy. Instead the message is go to starbucks everyday to get your coffee high, and then tweeze your face, waist and whatever doesnt fit in the norm of beauty and be "beautiful."
ReplyDeletei belevie that plastic surgery can be a really good thing and very bad thing. It helps women or men who are self concsious about a certain thing feel better. and who would not want to feel better about themselves? Or the plastic surgery that offers life changing roles. Lets take for expample an overweigth person who lost musch weight. however he/she still has the extra skin and wants it be removed, so he/ she can do things they have never done before. As well as plastic surgery can be a bad thing. In a way it permotes a perfect image. Yet ther is no perfet image out there. It makes people want to me "more beautiful" then they actuall are. however beauty is only skin deep. So where should the line be drawn?
