My argument on Plastic Surgery

My argument on Plastic Surgery
            In the article, I have chosen it talks about how women undergo surgery to impress the opposite sex or to be happy within themselves. However the argument is more towards why do we need to look better for someone else? As a young woman growing up, I was taught that it is your inner beauty that a man looks for.  Therefore, for me to see other young women and older women paying money to get their outer beauty changed makes me wonder if I was taught right. Cosmetic surgery is becoming very popular across the world.  In an interview conducted in a study it was said that getting a simple face-lift makes them feel new. If women keep changing their looks, aren’t they losing themselves? After all the fights, women go thorough to get equal rights in America, then why do they listen to what men say? I plan to use all the information I find to answer these questions and to help my argument have a better understanding.
I really don’t know what else I need to look for. I’m having a hard time putting together my research.

Plastic Surgery and Women

Plastic surgery and Women
My theme or issue I decided to research is plastic surgeries and women who go through them to impress their man or just any man.  In 2007 a roughly $14 billion dollars was spent on plastic surgery, according to Tom Hooyman, who’s a health care administration professor.  I would like to find out why so much is being spent. Most women say it’s to make them happy within themselves. However, others say it’s to impress their love one. What interests me about this is how women and some men think that they have to look a certain way to impress someone else. As we grow up our elders, tell us that we are beautiful and should love being young. In addition, they tell us that we should want to look young all our lives. Therefore, as women grow older they think that they have to look young, in order to hear that they are pretty.
I haven’t came up with a research question yet. I don’t really know what to look at. I what to explore the different types of surgeries women undergo.  In addition, I want to explore why they undergo certain surgeries.  Plastic surgery is also known as cosmetic surgery. In this research, I hope to find the reasons behind plastic surgery and why women spend so much money on getting them.
