In response to Marek's post on Plastic surgery.
I think it is funny that in society, you will hear a majority of people respond negatively to plastic surgery. I think it's funny because it is a form of body alteration and other forms of body alteration are more accepted. Tattoo's for example, are not looked down upon as much as plastic surgery is. Especially if they have meaning and aren't stupid looking. I think that our society is slowly adjusting to the idea of plastic surgery because it has helped so many people that need it but I think there are still many who disapprove. I agree with Marek and i think that if it is going to help you excel in life and has the possibility of making you happy, then it is okay. Piercings (like ear piercings) are super popular In today's culture, but they weren't at one point in time, so i think it is only a matter of time before things like plastic surgery are completely fine.
question: Do you think society will reach a point when it becomes completely passive? (passive in general, like is there a point where we will have done so much that it just doesn't surprise people anymore?)
