Study Notes
Body Adornment and Self-Modification
- The question asks for a term that describes practices used to enhance or alter one's appearance.
- Body adornment is the correct answer, as it specifically refers to practices like tattoos, piercings, makeup, and clothing used to modify one's appearance.
- While the other options may be related, they are not as directly focused on the practices themselves:
- Attractiveness is a subjective perception of someone's appearance.
- Physical enhancement is a broader term that can include things like exercise and surgery, not just adornment.
- Self-modification encompasses a wide range of changes, including personality, beliefs, and not just appearance.
