Plastic surgery is an interesting cultural phenomenon. It is a very controversial topic that fascinates many people. Sociologists today use the three theoretical perspectives, conflict theory, functionalist, and interactionist to understand the range of problems and phenomena in societies. In this article I will present a sociological analysis of plastic surgery with a brief history of the topic. Plastic surgery originated in India in 600 BC. The first surgery to be performed was on the noses of people who had lost them due to a crime or injury during a battle. The procedure was quite simple. The surgeon cut skin from the person's forehead or cheeks and attached it to the nose, then placed wooden tubes in the nostrils, so the person could breathe. Meanwhile on the other side of the world, in Rome, where beauty was highly prized, surgeons began practicing methods to alter the human body. They initially began operating on gladiators whose faces had been severely damaged. They later began using some breast reduction methods, but mainly focused on reconstructing the ears, lips and nose. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the progress of surgery stalled for a couple of centuries. During the rise of Christianity in the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, the church prohibited anyone from undergoing surgical changes to their body. There wasn't much progress for centuries until World War I. Many soldiers returned home with serious wounds to their sides. bodies. As more and more people needed these surgeries, reconstructive surgery began to develop further. They invented new techniques like trying to reconstruct entire limbs, ... middle of the paper ... oriental reconstructive surgery. In my opinion it's not as bad as someone who has had severe facial trauma from an accident. This just goes to show how low society really is. Although I don't understand why the media is used to portray what is beautiful. Which is not good for society, on the contrary, it hurts us. We should focus on work and school, not worrying about whether we look good enough for society. This makes me think it's a distraction meant to keep us away from other things. In conclusion, in this article I have contrasted the three theoretical perspectives relating to plastic surgery. These are basic theories about how society works. They're meant to draw attention to a particular phenomenon and make you feel really deep about it. It also shows that there are many ways to look at the phenomenon, because it focuses on more than one aspect.
