She tries to get this point across by stating that "Aging beautifully used to mean wearing one's years with style, confidence, and vitality. Today, it means not appearing to age at all.” In addition to being accepted by the media, feminists perceive cosmetic surgery in a constructive manner as well. Bordo reluctantly admits that the feministic approach to cosmetic procedures is that it allows women to changes themselves for the better, in a way to make them feel more secure and
Grant it that the drug corrects the issue at the moment, but what about later in life? All medicine has some kind of effect at the end of all the good that it does. On the other side of the aisle are the Church of Scientology and school board members like Denver’s Patti Johnson. Both believe that children are being over medicated, perhaps for a non-existent disorder. Unfortunately, it is the parents, guardians, and the children who are caught in-between.
However, plastic surgery can be a good thing for people who really have a medical reason to undergo those procedures. Changing one’s appearance based on society’s pressure is not necessary. Transition, connect this paragraph’s support to the thesis=topic sentence People, who undergo cosmetic procedures just because they think they have to,becauseother people had it done and because they think they have to keep up, are most likely not satisfied with the outcome. Cloud (2009) puts this statement to the test by saying that cosmetic surgery does not always make the person feel better. His article also points out that through different studies concluded in different countries, that women who get breast implants commit suicide at a much higher rate than women without those procedures, even so you(can’t use “you”) could say that women who undergo those procedures are already depressed to a certain level before the procedure.

Reaction Interaction Response Judging by the annoyed tone Diane Kenyon uses in her essay “Reaction-Interaction”, It’s clear to see the immensity of hope she has to find a solution for her deafness, despite being a successful freelance lecturer, tutor, and writer. However the first line in the essay concludes that there is a solution to not only her deafness but everyone else’s disability, "Most hearing people perceive deafness as a medical problem to be cured, but the pill has their name on it!"

What stood out to me in the essay was the italicized sentences which represented the way people would react to her deafness. This disability may alienate the person from the rest of the group but it doesn’t mean that they are stupid.
Peggy says that the girlie girl culture we are living in is increasing issues like eating disorders, body weight issues and unsafe sexual behaviour.

Society expects females to beautiful and always strive to stay thin, therefore Peggy is going against those stereotypical views and saying that those unreasonable expectations are resulting in self-conscious girls with eating disorders, unsafe sexual practice and depression. Further on in the book, Peggy discusses how the emphasis on girl’s beauty from the culture that we live in is greatly inspired by Disney princesses promoting the idea that girls should be “the fairest of them all”.
Motherhood and marriage is seen to be a key factor in the society of which The Bell Jar is set ,and is portrayed as one of the things that supresses female identity when Esther is asked to be “Mrs Buddy Willard” as if she is owned by Buddy and not her own person. Even though Top Girls is set in 1980’s England while Margret Thatcher is Prime Minister, it shows direct correlations to the ideas shown in The Bell Jar. Just as the bell jar itself portrays motherhood and marriage to be a hindrance to Careers In the form of Dodo Conway, Top Girls protagonist Marlene symbolises the other option women have in the choice between a career and a family. Marlene, unlike her sister Joyce, is shown to have given up her child for the chance to pursue a career as if having both is impossible; a lot like Jaycee is in The Bell Jar. This essay will argue that In both texts motherhood and marriage is shown to be a hindrance to both women’s careers and their female identity.
The author purported, "... It may seem that the promise of beauty is nothing but a commercial myth that binds women to its costly pursuit." (Peiss 23). These commercials such as those in television shopping channels illustrate their perspectives of how people should look with cosmetics on. In reality, that contraception may not apply and appeal to all.
It asked all the questions about what things influenced their decision such as age, income, employment status, and social conditions. One of the things that was alarming to me was the fact that these young women for the majority believed that breast feeding prevents pregnancy. This would lead me to believe that the results could be inadequate because of lack of education and understanding. How much do these girls really understand the benefits of breast feeding versus bottle feeding? I would like to have conducted a more in depth discussion with these girls about the benefits of breast feeding versus bottle feeding and educate them on the pros and cons and then do a study to see how many would breast or bottle feed.
