Cosmetic Surgeries - Think twice!

                                       Cosmetic Surgeries
                              Think twice!

 A few decades ago,  intervention to a person 's physical appearance was considered to be science fiction. Nowadays, more and more people visit the plastic surgeon to improve their appearance and undergo cosmetic surgeries. As far as I am concerned, a surgery for cosmetic reasons is in most cases risky and expensive.
 

                           

It is apparent that cosmetic surgeries do not always have the predicted and desired result. In other words, it is possible that the individual could not be satisfied with his or her appearance even after the surgery. In some other cases, a cosmetic surgery can prove to be dangerous and challenging  for the individual 's health. Indeed, a surgery may lead to not only unpleasant body pain but also to serious infections.
   

Furthermore,  a cosmetic surgery can be extremely expensive. In particular, millions are spent every year by people who want to enhance their look. Not to mention the fact that in most cases people do not stop to the first surgery but tend to continue altering their natural beauty. This means that an individual can spend thousands of dollars in order to finally be satisfied with his or her appearance.

                                 

However, there are those who believe that a nice appereance can be a useful tool which can open you many locked doors. For example, they claim that if a person is good-looking can more easily get employed to a job than a person who lacks in beauty. I understand that beauty can  create a positive first impression ;but in order for a man or a women to succeed and achieve high aims, a charming face or body is not enough.

 

Taking everything into consideration, I vehemently believe that cosmetic surgeries include high risks and I am personally opposed to people intervening  in their nature. America 's famous comedian, Groucho Marx, hilariously once said: "She got her looks from her father. He is a plastic surgeon! "

Violence in the Media

                                               Violence in the Media

Scientific research during the last decade has revealed the harmful affects that violent views can have on an individual 's formation of character. It is clear that most young children as well as and teenagers attend television programmes containing violence more often nowadays. To my mind, young people should not be exposed to violent scenes as this can contribute negatively in the shaping of their behavior.
 


To begin with, children attending violent scenes on television are more likely to express aggression in the future. This means they may not only fight with and injure other people but also commit serious criminal actions such as murder. Of course, most of them spend the rest of their life behind bars and when they finally regain their freedom tend to continue their illegal activities.
 
                             

Morover, there is a possibility that children who used to watch violent views on TV in an early age will probably become afraid of society as they grow older. In other words, being conquered by the feeling that our world is full of criminals, they live with the fear of getting hurt or even killed. That is the reason why they usually avoid or hesitate socializing with other individuals and in some case form agoraphobia, a pcycological disorder related to the fear of coming into contact with other people.
 
                                     

On the other hand, there are some supperters of the idea that violence in movies and other television programmes does attract the viewers' attention and also that a movie without action ends up being boring and tiresome. To this I must answer that action is not necessarily related to violence as a film can be appealing without including violent scenes.
                                       

 All things considered, I vehemently support that it is not appropriate for young chidren to watch television programmes which contain the element of violence. The spiritual Israeli author, David Grossman,  once said: "Today, the data linking violence in the media to violence in society are superior to those linking cancer and tabacco.
