The third chapter discusses various ways people enhance their bodies, from makeup to plastic surgery, to tattoos and scarification. The final chapter explores the views of several different cultures on fashion and clothing. Taken together, the viewpoints present a vast array of beauty ideals throughout the world. - Introduction.
