Why are we investigating into this topic?

Currently, the hot topic within youths is about the Korean and American Popular Culture, many youths look up to their Korean idols to their songs, dances and especially looks for inspiration. 80% of Korean artists and many American artists undergo plastic surgery to boost their appearances so as to attract more fans and popularity and gain more profits. This encourages youths to undergo alterations to their bodies to be just as good as their idols. We want to explore and find out more if the society should accept or allow such a practice of altering our bodies.
