Society is addicted to beauty. Wherever you look there are images of slim models with toned bodies and smooth skin. Their wealth and glamour seem to imply’ that beauty can put the world at your feet.
But what about brains and ability? Fortunately, women today can have a successful career regardless of their looks. However, humans are naturally attracted to beautiful things, and beneath all the talk of equality, beauty is still a very influential force.
Whether it is selling something, meeting with clients, or serving drinks in a bar, employers are attracted to staff who make their company look good.
Unfortunately, this does not sound very hopeful for the average woman. Meaning: our concepts of beauty are influenced by glamorous (富有魅力的) models and movie stars who spend hours having their hair and makeup done only to be touched-up again with computer software. And to keep in line with this glamorized image, women are turning more often to cosmetic surgery(整形外科).
The number of cosmetic procedures in the US has increased 228% since 1997, according to statistics released in March by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Nearly 6. 9 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the US in 2002. Of these, a staggering 88% were done on women.
Why don’t men feel the social pressure to be beautiful? Of course it exists. There are many men who spend their afternoons lifting weights at the gym in an effort to build a perfectly toned body. But, a man’s social worth has never relied so much on his looks. Furthermore, man’s centuries of being in control has allowed him to produce an image of the perfect woman.
Modem society has adopted a western image of beauty, influenced mainly by Hollywood. This has caused people in other cultures to use plastic surgery procedures to look more like Western movie stars. Favorite objects include Nicole Kidman’s nose, Catherine Zeta-Jones’ eyes, and Julia Roberts’ smile.
Luckily, beauty is not necessarily the deciding force when it comes to social function. Practicality is important. Beautiful models count for a tiny percentage of America’s population. Meanwhile, there are forces out there that oppose the glamorized image of beauty that society has created.
But, in spite of all this, the popular image of beauty is always going to be lurking(潜伏) somewhere, if not always in the foreground(显著位置). [br] To keep in line with glamorous models and movie-stars, the average woman turns to ______.
