For the group project in which we had to make a video, my group decided to ask people what they would change about themselves. In North American society today, people are more obsessed with perfection than ever before. We wanted to find out what people really want to change about themselves. For example, does everyone want to change physical traits, mental traits like procrastination or anything else.
We videotaped thirteen people around residence. Their ages ranged from 18 to 40 years old. The answers we got were:
-smaller feet
-no love handles
-wanting to be younger
-wanting to be taller
-not procrastinate as often
There were other answers but these were the most significant. Only a couple people said they were content with how they are and a couple people tried to think of something but couldn't so they said "I don't know".
We videotaped all the people who gave answers but unfortunately we had some technical difficulties loading them onto our computers so we can't post the video on here.
I asked a few people the question and helped in brainstorming ideas for one question we could ask. I learned that although many people seem content with who they are, many would like to change certain aspects about themselves. Not all of these things are superficial but many of them are. Our North American society has certain values in place, like looking beautiful, that everyone tries to follow.
