My View on Trow-away Society Advanced science and technology gave rise to the throw-away society. People judge disposable goods sometimes. As for me, I think the matter is the throw-away mentality we cultivated rather than the "things" we produced. Objectively, man-made things are highly important not only because the functional utility they bring about, but also the psychological support they offer. For example, the invention of writing paper greatly changed our recording condition. We don't need to use expensive silk or inconvenient wooden board any more. What's more, things also offer us the sense of safety. We almost grow up with things which prove our existence. So, we cannot judge things themselves. But our attitudes are controversial. A common one is the  throw-away mentality. An example is the popularity of disposable products. Although it is an inevitable trend of the fast and busy life, we can't thus use it recklessly. Personally, I don't think the throw-away mentality is a responsible attitude toward future generations. I rather believe the present poor man-thing relationship is a step of the whole social developing process.  All in all, it is undeniable that things are filled with human life and they do offer convenience. What should we do is to alert the side effect they bring and then hold fast to the basic value judgments.

Cosmetics Surgery — A Morbid Symptom of Society Over the years,cosmetics surgery become a new popularity.People especially women are crazy about it.As far as I am concerned,it is a morbid symptom of society.I strongly protest against it. To begin with,there are several physical disadvantages.For instence,unsuccessful cosmetics surgery may cause physical hurt.Having a cosmetics surgery is to build a better body shape and become a charming person.However,what if the surgery is failed?In this case,not only the purpose does not come true,but also the original self-image is damaged.What is more,after the cosmetics surgery,you have to protect the plastic part very carefully.For example,you cannot laugh too much if you had a cosmetics surgery on your chin.This is a kind of torment. Secondly,mental disadvatage cannot be ingnored.Provided a woman become a beauty after cosmetics surgeries, how many people would admire her beauty hearty?They would call her a man-made beauty and look down upon her .What if you are this woman?When your efforts are invalid in any other eyes,what would you think? The taunts from others would be cruel. Finally,the highlighting part is the social disadvatages.As we all know,having a cosmetics surgery will cost much money and this isn’t a normal people could afford.Beside the cost,there are still many people insist on taking a cosmetics surgery to change themselves and it become a trend gradually because no one want to be a ugly one when the street is full of beauty and handsome man which are man-made.However,this trend is morbid. In conclusion,cosmetics surgery is unnecessary.Why do people would rather become a fake than admire the natural beauty?
