Assignment 5/2

Assignment Due 5/2: Choose a passage from Jünger, write it out, explain the meaning of it, and why you chose this passage.

 Precisely because we have the technology to study the body more and its appearances we become more conscious of appearances (especially our own) and more aware thus changing humankind’s standards of beauty, but also social interaction and human behavior as well, as well as turning beauty into a commodity (i.e posters and pictures of Lola the cabaret singer):

I think that what this passage means is that technology plays a big role in the way people sees their body image. This is because everywhere we see images of what an ideal beauty is which makes people to get the technology to change their body or face image to what they think is beautiful. I chose this passage because this is exactly what’s going on in the world right now people are so desperate to fit in with certain body type and people don’t realize that beauty is not the most important thing in the world there’s many things that are more valuable than beauty image like education for example.
