Improving on Nature?
How we change what nature gives us can tell us a lot about ourselves. Some procedures to change our natural selves are so common we hardly think of them. For example, we wear glasses or contact lenses to improve how we see. Others are not as common, especially those concerning our appearance. Some people are not satisfied with their looks, and this prompts them to take action. What changes they make may depend on their culture. In some countries, people use only makeup and color to change their looks. In other places, such as Polynesia, tattoos are popular. Elsewhere, people may go to hospitals, which use special equipment to carry out cosmetic surgery. We change ourselves in many ways and for different reason. One reason is that the changes represent a certain lifestyle a person has chosen. The decision to change one’s looks can also be seen within the context of a person’s career. For example, actors who undergo surgery to restore their youthful look can make their careers last longer and increase their income. Is that so different from wanting to increase the things we are able to do by wearing glasses? While the urge to change one’s face with cosmetic surgery may seem strange to some people, there may be good reasons for doing so. Researchers have found that people form first impressions with10 seconds of meeting another person. This poses problems for people who lack confidence in their appearance.
