Body Modification

The lecture held on body modification, opened my eyes up to the different approaches and ways in which one tries to alter there apperance that counts as a form of body modification. Therfore I think its right to conclude, that everybody has modified there appearance in some way. However the way in which one goes about modifying there bodies, plays a more importanct factor in the way in which we catogarise these people. Anything that isnt naturally present or grown, is a form of modification. changes such as wearing high shoes to appear taller, to having intense tatoo's; is an example of the vastly different extents to which one modifies there body. In relation there are three types of modification: Non invasive, Invasive and perminant and temporary decoration. I am guilty of all three types, although I do object to some kinds of invasive modification; that i wouldnt consider doing to myself. Im all for modifying ourselves, but I object to exstensive body modification.
