Are We Too Image-Obsessed?
April 29, 2009 8:13 am HealthPlastic surgery is becoming so common that I’m beginning to wonder whether, as a society, we’re way too focused on appearance. It seems like everywhere I look another celebrity has gone under the knife, rendering them practically unrecognizable, or I see some news story about high school kids who are swapping the names of cosmetic plastic surgeons! Personally, I don’t think cosmetic surgery is all bad. I’ve seen first-hand that it can be a great way to improve self-confidence. But moderation is key. I don’t think undergoing tons of surgeries is going to be anyone’s key to happiness. So are we too obsessed with looks? Maybe – but that probably won’t change anytime soon, so we should just try to make the best of it.
