Well the assignment for the weekend was to read an article on how photographs and television are changing the way people age, or changing the way people feel they need to look. Now it is time to comment on said article. First the article was from a feminist prospective so it may be difficult for me to comment accurately, so I’ll just throw out a few thoughts.

The article commented on the fact that more and more women are resorting to plastic surgery to improve their appearance, and that many women, young and old, look at pictures that have been graphically altered and they think that they to should look like that. Now my opinion on the fact is simply this, if your not happy with your appearance and you ”have” to change it then you should go about doing so in a natural matter. In example if your unhappy with your weight then eat a balanced diet and exercise, dont have surgery to pump the fat out of you. It might make you look a little slimmer but in the long run you aren’t any healthier and odds are you’ll put on those pounds again. I also think that it is ethically wrong to resort to plastic surgery to change your nose or make your lips bigger. This is just unatural and makes the person look artificial. Also if you wish to improve your appearance do it for yourself, not because you think people will like you better if your good looking. In this world being “good looking” is a social status, and it may appear that the better looking people have more friends but in reality, if that person were to put on a few pounds or have a bad acne attack. Many of those so called friends will turn away.
