I agree most diet program and plastic surgery could trigger health risks. Someone say taking plastic surgery is better than losing self-respect. However, I don't think once plastic surgery can cure people without plastic surgery. Most people who undergone plastic surgery once consider next one whether the surgery is successful or not. Eventually, plastic surgery can be addicted. We can see a lot of the example like Michael Jackson or Mickie Rook.

Today, I did presentation about human origins for the reading class. My responsibility was to explain the Islamic views on evolution theory. Before the research, I guessed Muslims seem to have severly bad feeling towards evolution theory, because I thought Islam is based on the creation theory and Muslims' religious belief is very earnest.
However, I came to know through this research, Muslims have not experienced conflicts between evolution theory and their traditional creation theory unlike in the west.
One of the reasons is that Muslims have generous attitudes on scientific ideas. Arabic was the international Scientific language over 700 years from the third century to the tenth century. Therefore, evolution theory has not undermined the traditional creation theory for many muslims.
After the research, I acknowledged my view on Muslims was thwarted due to the affect of American and Jewish views on Muslims.
