Context:
High school students in Korea (16-18 years old)
 
Why is this issue important? The country is known for its plastic surgery industry, with many people going under the knife to change their physical looks. While it may be a taboo in some countries, undergoing plastic surgery is almost becoming a norm and acceptable in the Korean society.
 
The perception of beauty is an important issue that should be addressed in the classroom. This is especially so in a class of teenage students whose view and perceptions of beauty are often influenced by the media’s portrayal of beauty.
 
In order to suit the cultural context, the materials will have to be adapted to include other definitions of beauty. One way is to include the Asian perceptions of beauty. Essentially, what are the notions and standards of beauty?
