What is the argument in this essay? Black women used to frown at the thought of plastic surgery, but more and more are starting to warm up to the idea. Ok? But what’s being argued? I respect the women that have held onto the pride they have in their cultural and physical uniqueness, but it’s their choice just as it is for everyone else if they want plastic surgery or not. But,when speaking about plastic surgery in general, I don’t think I could care less. I don’t see a basis for an argument in this essay. What is the author’s point? It’s not as if the author fighting to lower prices so it’s no longer looked at as a “rich, white” thing to do. How do you respond to this essay if all it is doing is stating that African-American women are not opposed to plastic surgery as they have been in the past? There’s no suggestion for or against the topic. It is simply informative of the change in view of some black women and why it was hard to get to that changed view.
