Cosmetic Surgery on Teenagers

Cosmetic mental process on teenagedagers Both texts, Valerie Ulene, Plastic operating theatre for teens, an article from Los Angeles Times website, January 12, 2009 and Camille Sweeney, seeking Self-Esteem through and through Surgery, an article from New York Times website, January 15, 2009, break on the great deal on augmentative surgery and query the thinker of increased egoism to a certain point. Text 1, Plastic surgery for teens, focuses to a greater extent on the surgery itself whereas text 2, Seeking Self-Esteem Through Surgery, focuses more on the psychological part of cosmetic surgery.Even though they show two different sides of plastic surgery they still take nigh of the same bowments of problems such as which consequences surgery provide clear to and which image issues teenagers face today. The occurrence that Diana Zuckerman, The president of the National Research nucleus for Women and Families, appears in both articles supports them look alike in rough c ases, referable to the similar chosen subjects. In text 1 Valerie Ulene emphasizes the issues of the new-fangled originations view on beauty and unrealistic ideals.These are some the primary problems that she discusses. In her discussion she actually refers to a study that shows no evidence of modify self-esteem after undergoing surgery. Valerie Ulene questions the surgeons, and that is where Dr. John Canedy, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, comes in. Dr. John Canedy himself seems to have a critical view on cosmetic procedures among teens as well. He doesnt exclude improved self-esteem, but he thinks that the surgeons should select the patients carefully and after long consideration.As I mentioned before text 2, Seeking Self-Esteem Through Surgery, focuses a lot on the beauty and psychological issues such as repute obsession and makeover TV shows. An another(prenominal) person who shares some of the same views is denim Kilbourne, the co-author of So Sexy, So Soon. He talks or so the impossibilities of meeting the standards and values of beauty. Ann Kearney-Cooke, likes to characterize this phenomena as an epidemic of low self-esteem among girls.Diana Zuckerman, which appears in both articles, says that teens often forget or ignore the fact that they arent guaranteed a better life afterwards and thats a big problem. Valerie Ulene engages the readers in several ways. One of the methods she uses in the text is to alter it by referring to herself and her beauty problems, more specifically her nose. This is something that appears throughout the text. She even mentions her teen daughter With a 14-year-old daughter of my own, I recognize how difficult it can be.By this she also refers to parents banning teen plastic surgery, and that engages the readers personally. Most flock could probably relate to most of the problems Valerie Ulene talks about and has experienced. By choosing such a big issue she gets a lot of readers who are more lik ely to find the article interesting. Another method of engaging the readers is to ratify the reliability. She does this by including several experts, who uses facts and creates different views there is really no data to suggest that it improves their overall body image or self-esteem, as Diana Zuckerman comments.The data doesnt only support the experts but it also supports the impressiveness of these issues. The contention of banning plastic surgery for teens is an all time debate that keeps reappearing, maybe not much here in Denmark, but other places like Brazil, USA, UK etc. The arguments are mostly the same when it comes to issues like this on one side banning it would be unavoidable in some cases on the other side we live in a modern world where people can be held responsible for their actions.This is also the everyday view in this case. On one side weve got the Australian state of Queensland which finds it necessary to ban plastic surgeries for teens, like Dr. Pete Const antino says If they arent old equal to sign their own surgical consent for a medically necessary procedure, then they shouldnt be able to induce their parent to do for cosmetic surgery. Teenagers are incapable of making such a big decision at that age.On the other side is that limiting teenagers require both psychologically and physically? The question is whether the government should decide which values, morality and norms are correct. In this case the best thing is to bane cosmetic surgeries for teenagers. Your body is still developing, and most teenagers arent responsible enough to make such big decisions. 1 . knave 3, line 58. 2 . Page 2, line 26-17. 3 . Page 6, line 23-24.
