Intentional Modification

The psychologists believe that individual’s behaviour is linked with the inner thoughts and self-image. The idea is that due to free will people change often. It is humans’ responsibility on how their well-being and lives carry on. This is because we are capable of striving to achieve the best, self-actualisation desire.

I agree with Feys argument because i believe that there are certain people in society, who changes their appearance just for attention. i see this type of situation not only with adults, but also teenagers like myself. Most adolescents change the way they look just to fit in or to be noticed , but not realizing they are attracting the wrong kind of attention. In Feys's article, "the sociology of Leopard Man", he states that "Living in society, we are under constant pressure to surrender our individuality to the majority, the school, the workplace, the family etc." Feys is trying to say that

We see the same ideas in uglies. The society is willing to change their entire body in order to be “pretty” and more accepted. People are willing to go through with things like this because, we only see the good sides of it, but never the bad. All Tally ever wanted to do was to get the surgery. She saw the parties, the “happiness” ,the friendship, but never saw what it really

The way we look can be argued to be mainly due to nature. The genes we inherit from our parents make the basis of we look. For example, people often say ‘Don’t you look like your father/mother!’ Genetic inheritance can determine our eye colour, whether we have straight or curly hair or how tall we will be. We

Have you ever asked yourself is it possible to pick and choose your kids characteristics and appearance? If you ever have thought about this topic it is called designer babies and the technology used to do this is called CRISPR. In 2015 scientists in China tried to modify human embryos so that they could edit the genes of the embryos.(OI) This test failed horribly with all 86 of the embryos dying.(OI) Many people hope that one day designer babies will be a thing. I disagree with genetically modifying humans because in the bible it states, “God made you perfectly in his own image.”

Since these modifications were made by the Supreme Court some states that wanted to restore the death penalty incorporated them in their new death penalty laws. The Supreme Court did not demand that each of the alterations appear in the new laws. So, some of the new laws include discrepancies on the procedural modifications found in the Gregg decision. The ten-year suspension of executions that had started with the Jackson and Witherspoon decisions concluded on January 17, 1977, when Gary Gilmore was executed in Utah by firing squad. Gilmore did not contest the death sentence he was given. Following Gilmore’s execution, Oklahoma was the first state to use lethal injection as a manner of execution. Five years later Charles Brooks would be the

To be a human means to live life with free will, to be accepted, and achieve the set goals; as well as, going through problems and emotions along the way. Humans look at one another differently through the labels we give one another. Some labels are expressed by how we act, and others are how we look. Most of these labels are how we feel about ourselves. Several people feel they are not good enough; they will never be able to accomplish their set goals. Or they feel they don’t look the part. Dave Berry, an American author, wrote the expository, Beauty and the Beast, he explains how “women grow up thinking they have to look like Barbie…” (Barry, 316). This explains the labels women give to themselves to try and fit in. Everyone looks at the world in a different

Technological advancements are an obvious answer, but then again why do they feel so compelled to change themselves in such a dramatic way? “Back then they had weird ideas about beauty. They didn’t know about biology (West 40).” The way Tally’s generation now perceives themselves is derived from scientific findings about beauty. Speaking from a biological standpoint, there must be triggers of some sort that make the human face seem more pleasing than others. They must have done countless research to find the “perfect face”, and once the idea of perfection was found everyone had to have it. Thus the operation was born.

4). Currently, society stamps the impression on everyone that you need to look a certain way. Eighty percent of men and ninety-five percent of women are dissatisfied with how they look (OI). In the future, there may be a way to change your appearance when you are still in the womb. One potential problem this could create would be “ a dystopia of superpeople and designer babies for those who can afford it” (Doc. 3). In other words, everyone could have what they wanted. If everyone looked how they wanted to look, the world would be a boring place. Would you want the world to be full of perfect

First off, we were made to be different from each other from our very birth. Even twins have slight differences. “Are we saying that the responsibility falls on the kid who’s bullied, to alter themselves surgically?” Diller asked in an interview with NBC News (Dahl 6). Even though people are based on their looks, that doesn’t mean you need

When people were young they didn't care about their looks or how they acted, but now that we are getting older people are starting to care more about how they look and act. Why did people start caring? Because people learned about their identity and people started to judge you. Identity is influenced by people around you, your actions and your race.

Since you have moved much has changed. Exciting modifications have transpired during past year. Events including youth group, orchestra, and my own personal interests have taken dramatic turns. Changes for the better and worse have been established.

There are many ways people influence one another to begin a trend, like social media; it’s where everyone finds out what is in style, to be like everyone else. Most people feel the need to follow others because of what they see in someone else's life such as tattoos and piercing. Just because someone has something that catches people’s attention it most likely doesn’t mean it will have the same result on you. Regarding tattoos and piercing, people need to be aware of infections, the holes they leave behind and the money invested in a change. The body design is always seen different by everyone because it is a different piece of art on oneself. It is an attraction of what other people have on or in their body to create a new reborn self of

One can own their quirky smile, those crazy hair days, the glasses he or she wears to read, or even one’s religion. I own my personality. I don’t hide it because people might not like me or I may be judged, but I accept that it is a part of who I am. So many people in our society focus on what they think they are suppose to look like, that they lose track of who they are.I say ,”flaunt it.” I encourage everyone to own that goofy personality, own that dress, and own who or what you would be proud to see in the mirror. No one can ever take away another’s sense of self. Someone could minimise another’s qualities, but the way that person precedes to push through the judgement or critique of their sense of self is up to them. Everyone should own who they are because if we were all the same this world would be a pretty boring place.

Appearance wise, we are all pretty much stuck with what we have. Although there are methods to modify or enhance our appearance, we can’t completely transform it. Every one of us is uniquely different but throughout the ages, society has established many stereotypes for beauty. We all attempt to transform ourselves with hopes to match the ideal appearance. The question is, does any of it really matter?
