Post 14 - Zarif

Throughout the 3-day period of the Rhetoric class speeches, one of the issue that really stood out for me is Hannah's one, which advocates the right for plastic surgery, particularly in terms of healthcare. Though I already knew the fact that those who opts for this artificial method for enhanced beauty is getting higher after the year of its founding, it is quite shocking to know that the United States came in first in today's world. Hannah also mentions the high statistics of money spent only on this product and services which pretty much sums to where the technological research for plastic surgery had found its root demands in its very own market. Hannah also mentions that everyone has the freedom of rights to choose what they want in their lives; including what they could spend on or what we would like to enjoy in this world. 

She also mentions that while it is true that plastic surgery can make one to look way better looking than others in public, she also points out that these people had taken many considerations before undergoing such transformations which is usually accompanied by pain. By highlighting this one, it is imperative to be respectful of their decisions and support them in their pursue for the life-changing event that takes place. Although I am no fan of artificial beauty, especially for the sake of showing off, I now realize that different people have different reasons for doing this. At the same time, Hannah rhetorically tries to instill the values of humanity at a very non-humane issue. One thing that comes up to everyone's mind is that this one is effectively used. 

I also notice that Hannah speaks her points clearly and non-contradictory in overall of her speeches; implicitly promoting the self confidences that she had over her arguments. While this might wins the heart of the audiences, she also adds up to the views that might change some perspective from going against plastic surgery at all cost to considering it for personal reasons. Personally, I could notice that Hannah's speech was all but flaws, which really tells the audience that her message was sent across effectively. Last and the most importantly is her ending, where she puts everyone into the same situation where we don't have any choice but to go through plastic surgery for the sake of our own health.
