"Born This Way" --- Self Acceptance

I think the episode "Born This Way" from the show Glee is relevant or important because this episode discusses that everyone should love the way they are and be proud of themsleves. The show Glee was aired on May 19, 2009. This particular episode was aired on April 26, 2011 in the 2nd season. I chose this particular episode because every teenager feels uncomfortable with their body at some point and this episode resist the idealogy of a teenager changing her body to feel good about herself. Many people think its fine to have a plastic surgery to change something they dont like about themselves, but other people, like myself, think its ridiculous that changing your body your letting people put labels on you of your imperfections. This epdisode shows that America supports the ideology that you have to be a perfect teenager and that you got to do what you have to do to have that perfect life including the perfect body.

In the episode of "Born This Way" from the show Glee one of the main characters, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), has an accident that results with a broken nose. After a trip to the doctor he proposes to Rachel to take an opportunity to get a nose job. Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) and Puc (Mark Salling) try to convince her otherwise and that she doesnt need to change anything to look amaizing!

Even though she is stuborn about changing her nose, until Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) convinces her by telling her that her idol Barbra Streisand had refused to change to alter her nose. At the end of the epidose the Glee Club comes together and all sing together to Lady Gagas famous song Born This Way. This incredible song about self acceptance and knowing that God made everyone the way they are for a reason. To celebrate everyones self acceptance they perform "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga while wearing a white shirt with what they feel insecure about themselves to embrace their imperfection that makes them unique.

What made me think of this particular episode of Glee, is that theres characters that play the role of putting her down and others trying to convince her that those imperfections she doesnt appreciate are they best part of her. The people who put her down are related to my ideology because in America theres always obsticles and people that keep from reaching their goal.For example, when Santana tells Rachel that its the perfect excuse to get her nose to look better, Santana is trying to make her feel bad, The poeple that helped Rachel from getting her nose job are the poeple give you financial and emotional support in hard times. For example, when Puc and Finn try to convince her that she doesnt need to change for anyone t like her just the way she is.
