Final

New face, new identity

No matter people admit it or not, but one of the survival rules of this world is: better looking people get significantly more positive attention in many aspects of their life. This is rude, but a serious truth. People realize this matter of fact and find their way to cover come it- cosmetic surgery, an efficient and useful way to seek for their ideal perfection.

Here’s a problem. What is the definition of perfection? The evidence and report shows, different ethnic groups have their own preferences. For example, Asian people prefer pale skin; whereas, American people prefer the opposite. One thing I have noticed is Asian people try their best to get themselves as pale and bright as they can; on the other hand, Americans uses every method they can think of including getting sunburn under the sun and tanning bed they might cost skin cancer to satisfied their ideal beauty.

Then the preference comes down to cosmetic surgery. The number of the surgery increases rapidly in past few years. In the newest report, 53% of woman and 49% of man have said they approve of cosmetic surgery. 27% of married Americans and 33% of unmarried Americans would consider the surgery for themselves, now or in the future. And the most interesting date is that between ages of 18 and 25 are the group that most likely to consider plastic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery has become a modern trend. This trend leads us to a deeper psychology aspect. Every individual is born to be special and different; but the cosmetic surgery and the plastic surgery degenerate the identity. Asian people dislike their typical unique eyes. Many girls are more comfortable with double eye- lids and prominent nose. They try their best to look like foreign. I haven’t heard any example og Americans want to look like Asians but some of the American girls want to make themselves certain way like top models on TV.

There is nothing wrong for people to pursue their idea. However, by doing this, the world would become very boring. Western and Eastern faces are emerging slowly. This is a scary fact. One day, when people all have their dreamy perfect look, there would be lack of identity and everyone’s face would be alike. So? Some people might ask. So us human being will lose something inside us. We would not realize the pride and confidence and forget slowly about who we are and why we are here because we are emerging to the perfect shadow of this world.

The numbers show that between ages of 18 to 25 are the group that most likely to consider plastic surgery. This is an interesting fact because if reflects that young woman has more desire to seek for changes. However, before considering cosmetic surgery, we should pause and be serious about the consequences. Yet, people may look gorgeous and amazing after they get done the surgery. However, after 10 and 20 years, what will he or she looks like? What if the cosmetic surgery fail and the ruined face could never turn back just like Micheal Jackson’s? Why do we have to look like someone else but not satisfied with other own identity? These are some essential factors people have to think about before getting their change for the rest of their life.
