I found the talk on body modification interesting, its amazing how much we take every day life for granted, like dieting for instance being female and being brought up in prodminantly female house hold dieting seems to be part of the norm. however I do think more and more men in todays soceity are becoming more body conciouse. Even though most of us want to look good in order to feel good there are a few people ive come across who beleive that changing the way they look will give them ultimate happy ness. but if the foundation for a happy mentality is not there in the first place changing our appearence wont change the way we think it may give us the confidence we need to make life changes but underlieing problems that caused our feeling of inadiquacy still remain.

I don’t agree with what you are saying that in today’s society, men are more body conscious. I don’t think that it is just men that are body conscience so are women, for example I would say I am. I go to the gym to get fit and so do many women. I don’t think it is just a male thing.
I don’t think that all females’ diet, yes it appears that more women probably may do, but I think men probably diet just as much. I think that men dieting is seen as weak and it not made as much of a big issue as female dieting. I think this is the reason why women are seen as ‘always dieting’ rather than men.
I agree with what you are saying that people feel that changing their look will bring happiness but I don’t think that all people do this. It may make them feel better but you are right it won’t bring happiness.
