Plastic Surgery

Many people turn to plastic surgery when they are disappointed with their own bodies. They get plastic surgery so that they can "fix" themselves and have a better opinion of themselves. But is plastic surgery worth the risk? Many operations go horribly wrong, resulting in a person that looks worse then they did before, and probably disappointed with the job and the surgeon that did the operation. Personally, I wouldn't get plastic surgery, but if people decide that they want it, they should have the right to get it done if they choose to. If they are aware of the risks and dangers of getting plastic surgery, then they should have the right to get it done.

Should students be allowed to choose their teachers? - Body Paragraph

Students should be allowed to choose their own teachers because some students learn better from some teachers, and don't learn as well under other teachers. There are a number of reasons for this, one of them being their teaching method. Some students learn better by listening, while other students learn better by being shown what they're learning, and then by doing a hands-on activity. Some teachers have a certain attitude in the classroom that some students can find distracting while they're trying to learn, or really has a negative impact on them while they're trying to learn. For example, a teacher that's making jokes during class might distract a student who is trying to work on their work, and if students had the choice of what teachers they could have, they could choose a teacher that wouldn't distract them while they're trying to learn. Students should be allowed to choose their own teachers because some teachers don't teach in a way that benefits them, while other teachers teach in a way that would benefit that certain quite a bit, so if students could choose their own teachers, they could choose teachers that they learn better from.

What would the world be like without school?

Without school, the world would be very different. People wouldn't be as educated, technology would be less developed, and people would have to learn to feed themselves. How would these things affect the world, though?

To start, without school, most people wouldn't be as educated. People would never have gone to school to learn things, and something one person knew would probably be completely different as what other people know. They would learn from experiences rather then in a classroom, and most people wouldn't know about science, math, or how to read. Without going to school, people wouldn't learn how to write either, so there wouldn't be anything to read anyway. In addition, without school, people might not even know how to speak a language, and their communication would be very basic.

Next, technology wouldn't be as developed as it is today. This includes computers and medicine. Without the technology we have today, life would be very different. We wouldn't have devices to use to communicate with other people, and if someone did know someone that didn't live near them, they would have to travel to where they live to visit them. Since people wouldn't know how to read or write, they wouldn't be able to send the person they know any mail. Also, since technology wouldn't be as developed, there might not even be paper to write on. Without the technology we have today, people wouldn't have anything to entertain them. No movies to watch, no video games to play, and no books to read.

Last, people would have to learn how to feed themselves. They could hunt various animals and feed themselves with meat, or they could plant corn or beans and harvest it. They could collect berries and natural growing fruits and vegetables to eat. People wouldn't have manufactured food to eat like we have today, like chips, chocolate bars, or candy. People would probably get sick or die because the foods they eat wouldn't always necessarily be fit to eat, or be healthy, or the meat they eat might not be thoroughly cooked. Without the medicines we have today, people that get sick or get diseases would end up dying, and the average lifespan would be much shorter then it is today.

To conclude, if there had never been any schools for people to attend, life would be very different. People wouldn't be educated, we wouldn't have the fancy technology we have today, and people would have to learn how to collect their own food and feed themselves rather then depending on other people to make healthy food for them. Because of this, the average lifespan of a person would be lower then it is today, and people would die younger then they do today.
