While I was watching a video on the New York Times website, I happened to see another video called “Passport to Beauty,” which is a short video about plastic surgery niches that have emerged among New York City’s immigrant groups. I thought this would be very interesting for the class to see because although it’s not written about or discussed in our readings, plastic surgery culturally plays a large role in certain modern ethnic communities, as you can see in the video:
