Generation Z dilemmas: How far to look for patterns?

Abstract

The reflective critical descriptive article aims to highlight the dilemmas of the generation that is the generation that has a ton of information in the palm of their hand in fractions of seconds, through the Internet. The following categories were listed: invasive plastic surgery procedures; generation Z, self-acceptance and image and finally mental and aesthetic health. Concluding that the search for the standard and the perfect stereotype associated with the day-to-day access to social media that do not always show the real life of the “bloggers” triggers the desire and obsession for aesthetic changes, most of the time radical and unnecessary, whose ages are between 18 and 24 years. Obviously, in most cases, the lack of confidence, insecurity and the difficulty of self-acceptance, trigger psychic disorders that lead these people to never be satisfied, and in search of diverting frustrations in most invasive surgeries that end up generating the need constant change, according to the temporary standards of beauty established by the media, but in some cases it is extremely necessary, such as bariatric surgery patients.
