The Struggle for Beauty-Correction

Beauty is a big topic in our society and has become an important part of our society and everyday life. We all want to look like the good-looking models in the newspapers or on TV and change our appearance, just for reaching this goal. There are also good and bad aspects to this philosophy of life.
First of all, I’ll start with the good aspects. Nowadays it’s totally normal, when you had a plastic surgery and so it’s not a taboo anymore. If you have an inferiority complex about a part of your body, like small breasts or a lot of wrinkles, which make you feel ugly, plastic surgery is the perfect solution. It would give you new courage and more self-confidence.
But if you look beautiful, the people expect from you that you’re cute and sweet every day, they don’t care about your mood. It’s like a test, which you have to pass successfully every hour and minute. They often aren’t interested and can’t understand that there are situations in which you can’t look pretty, because you are not in a good frame of mind.
On the one hand, beauty is evidence and sign for health and fertility. You won’t have so many problems and so many people pay attention and take care about you. Above all the opposite sex will try to get your attention. They would do everything, to make life easier for you.
On the other hand, they forget your own personality. Maybe they reduce beautiful people to their appearance. That’s why so many hand-some women and men get a job. They represent their work places. It creates a totally different impression if there’s a pretty secretary in the office, than a nasty looking one. It sounds discriminating, but that’s they way it is. People are more interested and enthusiastic about this work place, if there are a lot of attractive employees.
In my opinion, beauty is a negative phenomenon. I think it’s not good if you want to look like your idol or like a model. Our community puts people under pressure, because they don’t look beautiful in their eyes. We have forgotten to see with our “heart” again. The main part of the guilty cares the media; they all influence us with their models and plastic surgery. People spend so much money on health and beauty products only to stay young and vital and that’s the problem. For hundreds of years, the biggest dream of humanity is a long life and an everlasting youthful look. It’s really sad, that these “ugly” persons are ignored by society, although they are more intelligent and even nicer than the pretty ones, who in most cases are very arrogant.
