Examining Yourself.
One of the most controversial issues in today's society is body modification. Everyone does modify themselves in some way, shape, or form. There's obviously no completely natural body walking around anywhere in our culture. For basic hygiene and health reasons we need to modify our bodies in some ways. When people modify themselves through diet or exercise they are promoting their health, which is a positive way to change the way we look. In the big scheme of things preserving healthiness and remaining content with our status in life should be the ultimate goal through body modification. However, when someone alters their body other than for their health or basic needs it becomes too extreme.
This would be an unexciting world if people didn't bring about major differences in their true bodies. Still, sometimes people make these drastic changes with the wrong intentions. They mistakenly aim to conform to a standard of how others perceive normal. Voluntary surgery, for example, is not a logical or sane idea unless it's used to correct features of our body that were originally present. Many people need help understanding that altering body features to be conventional will not alleviate any negative feelings that are deep inside of us. Nothing will help create a positive self-concept unless we change the way we think. .

Undergoing surgery of any kind to alter the body is crossing the line of normalcy. There are more useful ways to disperse of money than to create false images of who we really are. More importantly, our body composition should be about gaining a sense of identity.
