Nowadays, more and more people especially women would like to have plastic surgery because they think it can make them more beautiful and attractive. They will have good-looking faces and perfect figures through plastic surgery. However, the society now forms a tendency of taking plastic surgery, young people view it as a shortcut to get jobs and love. It will do great harm to society in both social values and spiritual pursuit. Therefore, plastic surgery does not play a positive role.
Plastic surgery, according to wikipedia, is a medical specialty related to the "correction" or restoration of form and function. People who take this kind of surgery will become more confidence because they feel themselves inferior to other beautiful people. Actually, at present a good-looking person does have greater chance to gain jobs or love. Thus, people will dout that doesn’t plastic surgery play a positive role in society? I should say that it will convergence the social aesthetic sense if more and more people take plastic surgery. People will form a same standard to judge beauty, which leads a wrong way to develop aesthetic sense. Originally, people hold different views to beauty but now as many people take plastic surgery they will think that a person with big and bright eyes, a tall nose, a small mouth and a slim figure is beautiful. As a result, the original values of beauty become almost the same, which does a negative impact on the development of social aesthetic values.
Besides, as many young people regard good appearance as the key to wealth and love, plastic surgery offers a chance to have good appearance. Therefore, they will not pay much attention to development their inner qualities. With more and more people have plastic surgery, the whole society will worship appearance but ignore spiritual pursuit. However, I still think virtue is more important than appearance. No matter when you are searching for a job or a true love, what really plays a significant role is your good virtue. Take Quasimodo in Les Misérables for example, his story completely proves that virtue is much more important than appearance. People think plastic surgery provides a shortcut to success, gradually the social values will be distorted and the whole society turn to be vacuous because of the lack of virtue pursuit.
In conclusion, plastic surgery does not play a positive in society. It will form a wrong sense of aesthetic and people will pay less attention to cultivate good virtue, which are harmful for the development of society.。
