A World That Madeline Foo Is Tired Of An Artificial Environment

Connie saw a place that looked like villages and did not have big cities because Luciente said that big cities did not work. Connie also saw bicycles and people on foot. There were intensive plots of vegetables, plants and animals. Mattapoisett seems an environmentally friendly place: That’s why Luciente considered being peasants because they lived in a village. They raised chickens, ducks, goats, turkeys and cows. The people from Mattapoisett dedicated themselves to taking care of the environment. Mattapoisett is not like the city where Connie lived which was a place full of noisy with big and tall buildings. The technology was very important in Connie’s culture. That is why Connie said that “it is not how I imagine”. Connie was hoping to see a very advanced society in the area of technology. In Mattapoisett at first it appears to be a backward and non-technological society, but then it was clear that the people had a positive attitude toward machinery. They use technology only in a ecologically sound way.

She states “Being different was my cross to bear, but being aware of it was my compensation. When I was younger, before I’d gotten sick, I’d wanted to be special, to be different. Did this the make me t he creator of my own situation” (pg101)? It is her appearance, not her illness that changes her view of herself. Her entire identity becomes her face, and she tells herself over and over, when my face is fixed, I’ll start living. She found happiness and acceptance through her love of horses, working at a stable and spending time with the animals and the people there, who treated her like anybody else. But throughout adolescence and into young adulthood Lucy pinned her hopes on each new surgery as the one that would fix her face and make her beautiful and thus worthy of love.

Nowadays the word self-interestedness is misunderstood, People misjudge her for putting herself before others. She quoted

In a moment of weakness a woman could decide to change their bodies by getting unnecessary cosmetic surgery. Everybody reads about who got a face life, who got their lips

Innocents is an archetype that can be seen in most, if not all, styles and eras of literature. In most cases, we see a loss of innocents in the main character as they go through their journey. This is because innocence is typically paired with naiveté, or youthfulness, or a lack of knowledge. The innocent normally gets taken advantage of or become subjects to the evil in the story and, as the pages in the story get turned, the innocence of the character slips away. This idea of innocence being linked to naiveté is not how Madeleine L’engle wrote her characters in A Swiftly Tilting Planet. In this book we see that innocence is not only linked to strength, but is linked to the key that saves the world from destruction. We see this powerful innocence

Aylmer pushed science to the limit in his time. There was not plastic surgery, Botox, or augmentation. Today is different. Augmentation is socially accepted; an eye is not batted if a woman has breast implants. Altering appearances is not seen as taboo, but the minute genes are

Many consumers felt they looked very ugly, awful, unaesthetic or even dirty about particular body defects. In this case, it is not about changing a body part for the sake of looking more beautiful, it is an attempt to lessen a problem which has become an unbearable suffering for several people. The feeling of having small breasts or many wrinkles is no less devastating to a person’s sense of self than the feeling of being born with a deformity or coming to terms with a disturbing accident. Cosmetic surgery was a remedy to this suffering and patients felt this was an empowered act that presented themselves as courageous protagonists.

Women have been wearing makeup and other cosmetic products since the beginning of time. Egyptians back in 10,000 BCE used makeup for definition and to add color to their face. Makeup back then was a thing of science, Ancient Egyptians used ingredients like different oils and minerals to make themselves look beautiful. Today, the makeup and cosmetic industry has grown larger than life. Scientists have had to develop new technologies to test a variety of new products. To make sure testing is successful, scientists test their products on animals to make sure they are safe for humans. Before the 20th century, there wasn’t any testing of cosmetic products and the women before still remained beautiful and found ways to enhance their beauty. Also, companies today have found many ways to create new products without the use of animal testing. The the modern day

There exists a society that routinely tortured animals by immobilizing them, pouring chemicals into their eyes and on their skin, and causing them unbearable suffering followed by a prolonged and painful death for the purpose of making its cheeks a little rosier or lips slightly plumper each day. This is the reality of the United States and hundreds of other countries that employ the method of testing on animals in order to prove safety of cosmetics. According to Karyn Siegel-Maier, “The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C) defines a cosmetic as any product that is applied to the human body to moisturize, cleanse or in some way enhance or alter appearance,” meaning humans constantly

(1) Tests on animals can’t always be a reliable source to predict the effects of a chemical or cosmetic ingredient on a human. The only way to test chemicals and ingredients for human effects would be to use a human. (2) It seems useless to put animals through so much pain and suffering if the results might not even be accurate. If the testing doesn’t guarantee an accurate result, then the animals shouldn’t be put through all of that for nothing. Animal testing also cannot guarantee safety for the user of the cosmetic because many times the test results are very unreliable. Different things react in different ways on different species. Results from animal tests can be over or underestimated to the extent on how it may react on a human. (1) Because is is proven that humans and animals don’t always have the same reactions, why wouldn’t the cosmetic companies use some type of alternative experiments that are more accurate? The two species have very different anatomy, so the reactions will obviously be different. There is also little scientific credibility of cosmetic animal testing because when it was first used in the 1930’s, we did not have a very good understanding of how toxicity worked in the human body or the know the difference of how it worked between different species. (1) Animal testing is not only cruel and not always reliable, but there are many more efficient and reliable alternatives to it.

In light of the evidence presented, I believe that laboratory research conducted to further scientific understanding in treating illnesses and diseases is beneficial for both animals and humans alike, but may be possible and more ethical with cell samples rather than live animal test subjects. Similarly, subjecting animals to cruelty for the sake of cosmetic purposes is not humane in the slightest. We can combat the unnecessary use of animals in the testing of cosmetic products by opting to purchase cruelty-free brands, and through the development of more sophisticated cell research, we can eliminate the need to use animals as test subjects for medicine. No cruelty is ever worth

In today’s society, there are billions of cosmetic products for sale. There are whole stores dedicated to cosmetics alone. Aisles upon aisles are lined with products designed to make a person look better, smell better, feel better. Behind those products though, there is a hideous truth. Those very products, designed to make a person beautiful, are tested on animals in order to be deemed safe enough for human use. Many organizations have campaigns to combat the issue. One such organization is the National Animal Protection Agency in Italy. The image above is one of their various campaigns to stop cosmetic testing on animals. Many of the aspects in the image above provide deeper meaning than what is realized at first glance and help provide more information on the topic.

The third point that Singer makes has to do with experiments on animals. It’s unacceptably cruel to make animals suffer for the products that will be used by humans. It’s complete none sense to make an animal suffer just so more cosmetic products can be produced. Many animals have suffered and died in the labs from different products, chemicals and drugs used on them. The lab animals undergo a lot of stress and pain just so humans can have products that won’t cause their eyes burn, make their skin red, cause rash or allergy reactions. Singer talks about rabbits that get shampoo dripped into their eyes to test the level of lethal dose, 50% of these animals die under these experiment. The rabbits undergo this painful experiment so that when

We make decisions everyday, and even the smallest act can have a big impact on the future. Because of this, people often wonder what would’ve happened if they made a different decision in the past. In the novel Everything, Everything if the character Madeline didn’t make the decision the run away from her home and go to Hawaii with the other character Olly, some major events would have never occur. Before these events, Madeline had never left her house and barely had human contact with anyone. This was because her mother, who is a doctor, prescribed Madeline with a severe sickness that meant that she must be in a protected environment at all times. Madeline’s mother is very protective of her because of this, and has only allowed her nurse, Carla, to be

In the medical field, cosmetics is the process in which patients undergo surgical and nonsurgical procedures to alter their appearance. Unlike plastic surgeons who are dedicated to helping burn victims and birth disorders etc. Cosmetic surgery is enhancing the appearance of a person. Nonsurgical procedures include; botox, laser hair removal, and surgical procedures include breast augmentation or body contouring etc. Cosmetic surgery can also become addictive. Addictions that can occur with patients include repeated surgeries in a short amount of time. Unlike drug addictions, cosmetic surgery
