...Suppression of Individuality in Radiohead's, Fake Plastic Trees "Fake Plastic Trees" criticizes how modern society stifles individuality and forces people to swallow idealized conceptions of how life should be. The whole song centers on the idea that humans, either through their own fallibility or through society's relentlessness, easily and obliviously mold their lives according to the unspoken standards they set on themselves. The result is a shallow, artificial, "fake plastic" living that perpetuates itself and destroys uniqueness. The first two verses, which reveal the tragic consequences of pretense, evoke feelings of despair and pointlessness. The image of a woman watering a plastic money tree is heavily shadowed by shades of existentialism. The act of nurturing is the woman's attempt to create something genuine, something reflecting her identity. The bleak, futile reality lies in the fact that her "creation" thrives unto itself, surviving as the product of society's goals and inhibitions and outlooks, not hers. The plastic tree is a misconstrued representation of her true self. Helpless and beguiled, she falls victim to the ruthless nature of society and its indifference to the individual experience. Her green plastic watering can For her fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself This artificialness of life is all-encompassing; no one is...

...: Cosmetic surgery on teeangers 1. Both texts do in fact seem to agree in general on the view on cosmetic surgery and query the idea of increased self-esteem. Even though text 1, “Plastic surgery for teens” by Valerie Ulene, focuses more on the surgery and text 2 more on image and self-esteem, they do to some degree share the same angle, problematizing the image issues of teens and the consequences of surgery. The president of the National Research Center for Women and Families, Diane Zuckerman, does for example appear in both articles, due to her relation to the issues. In the first article by Valerie Ulene, she emphasizes the problems of the modern world’s view on beauty and the culture of unrealistic ideals. This is in her opinion one of the primary issues in this topic, and she does as well refer to a study that shows no evidence of improving self-esteem after surgery. Valerie Ulene is querying the surgeons herself, but does refer to the president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. John Canedy, who seems to have a critical view as well on cosmetic surgery among teens, but doesn’t exclude the possibility of improved self-esteem. By this it is crucial in Canedy’s view that the surgeons select the patients carefully. Text 2, “Seeking Self-Esteem through Sugery” by Camille Sweeney does, as mentioned before, also focus on the beauty issues of the modern society and “a culture of celebrity obsession and makeover TV shows”. This is among others expressed through...

...Rhinoplasty or more commonly known as nose surgery is used to reshape the nose and is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the top or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It can also be used to correct a birth defect, injury or help relieve some breathing problems. It can enhance your appearance and self confidence but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. The best candidates for this surgery are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate. As with all surgeries there is always a possibility of complications including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia. In preparing for your surgery you will get specific instructions including guidelines on eating, drinking, and smoking. Before the surgery you must quit smoking and may not resume smoking until you are completely healed. Smoking can cause skin death and cause permanent scares. You must fill all your pain killing medications before the surgery. Also, have a nice little recovery area with all your necessities. You need lots of pillows, books magazines, the television remote, videos, favorite CDs, nasal spray, hot water bottles...

...implies, is through the visual self. This is supported by Thesander’s (1997) assertion that “the most characteristic aspect of fashion is its ability to transform objects into symbols. Clothes are transformed into fashion garments and the body becomes the fashion body.” (67) In this essay, I will discuss, using various readings, about how women’s bodies are moulded by society and how it shifts with the current ideals of beauty. I will also elaborate on how the body is used as a shell to depict what the inside holds, in other words, the identity of the being residing in it. I will use Michel Foucault’s theories to explain how the body is affected by the subjection of discipline and examination. Then, I will use the concept of cosmetic surgery to show how the body is an ongoing project to be worked on, and how its participants employ it as a tool to improve their image, thus their perception of self-identity. The first part of this essay discusses how bodies existing within societies are obliged to conform to social expectations. While being a surface upon which the text of one’s identity is read, it is also obliged to live up to the archetype of beauty, therefore, it is a...

...Plastic Surgery - Enormous Increase in Uptake by Younger Women Professor Laurence Kirwan, one of the world's leading plastic surgeons, who has appeared on BBC Breakfast to comment on the PIP breast implant scandal and who wrote in the Mail on Sunday (British newspaper) how cosmetic surgery can prolong life, has said that more and more young women between the ages of 35 and 40 years have cosmetic surgery. Professor Kirwan says that the number of women between 35 and 40 years who have cosmetic surgery every single year for 5 years has risen by 5%. He says that most young women opt for 'liquid lifts', injections of facial fillers, which typically consist of hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance that occurs naturally in the skin and helps retain moisture to make cheeks look fuller and lift sagging jaws. The 'liquid lifts' together with Botox freeze the muscles to lift drooping eyebrows by interfering with nerve transmission. Younger women tend to choose a short-scar facelift (SSFL), whereby the skin is pulled upwards and then pulled back over the bony structures of the face, whilst fat pads that have dropped with aging are repositioned into their proper place. This new and nonintrusive procedure only has a maximum two-week down time costs about £10,000 ($16,000) with results lasting for as long as 10 years. Kirwan says: "This is a miracle treatment for many young women wanting to cut off the effects of ageing at the pass. They don't want to wait until they look older...

...to cover up. There was only one answer to her problem , and that would undoubtedly be cosmetic surgery. Whether cosmetic surgery should be banned has been a very debatable topic in recent years. In my essay , I will provide reasons to show why I strongly believe cosmetic surgery should not be banned. Firstly , cosmetic surgery provides a glimmer of hope for people who have physical deformities or are simply insecure about their looks. Looks are important for a person to get by as looks give off the first impression of a person. A recent study conducted by a group of researchers from the National University of Singapore revealed that employers have an immediate better impression of better-looking interviewees. This shows that good looks are a powerful advantage in society. Many people are often depressed and uncomfortable about the way they look , so they wish to improve one or more of their physical features. If cosmetic surgery is to be banned , these people will be forced to live with their flaws and feel insecure for their entire life. Secondly , cosmetic surgery helps to boost the economy and provide job opportunities. One example is Korea , it is famous worldwide for its cosmetic surgical procedures. Once , it was even reported to have performed hundreds of cosmetic surgeries in a day. Korea is the country often associated with cosmetic surgery , therefore , if cosmetic surgery becomes forbidden , Korea would lose one of its biggest attractions to tourists. This would in...

However, most people are less concerned with it than with basic cleaning and fillings-until something more elaborate is required.

...Cosmetic surgery on teenagers 1. Give an outline of the various views on plastic surgery for teenagers which are presented in texts 1 and 2. In the two texts the views on plastic surgery are quite similar. Both texts agree on the fact that American teenagers might feel that a lot of pressure has been put on them, they strive to be beautiful, but their ideal of beautiful is twisted and for a normal teenager almost unattainable. One of the major problems is that some teenagers find something they don’t, for instance they might think their breasts are too small, then instead of waiting for their bodies to be fully grown or just getting used to having a smaller, they tend to breast enhancement. The adolescents doesn’t let their bodies grow to their fullest, but take the less time consuming way of the surgeon’s knife. 2. How does Valerie Ulene engage the reader in the subject in text 1?

Give an outline of the various views on plastic surgery for teenagers which are presented in text 1 and 2. Cosmetics surgery has come to our modern society, and adolescents and teenagers use it very well, while they don’t know much about the consequences and how plastic surgery hurts the body, and even not help with one’s bad self-confidence. According to Diane Zuckerman in the text ‘’Plastic Surgery for teens´’ by Valerie Ulene, youngsters consider images of men and women who have had done plastic surgery as beautiful, or even worse, they think it is the ideal body image and they want to fit the mole. The text says that cosmetic surgery may not be appropriate for adolescents. It seems ridiculous to fix your look before you are mature. According to the text, teenagers take every imperfection seriously, and that can influence what they think of themselves, so plastic surgeons argue that surgery can improve teenagers’ self-esteem. If you don’t look pretty enough, it can be the source of teasing and self-imposed isolation. Besides this, studies shows that teenagers...
