LO 6 – Demonstrate engagement with issues of global importance.
In STEM Club, we have regular quizzes and debates about all things STEM. One of the main parts of the club is the end of year presentation on one aspect that exists in the STEM world. My partner Daniel and I chose to focus on science, specifically Plastic Surgery. Daniel being from South Korea gave the rundown about how plastic surgery is like a lunchtime activity in South Korea and doesn’t have any taboo there. So we chose to focus on two points – popular plastic surgery practises and plastic surgery in South Korea. I chose to talk about science and Daniel focused on South Korea as he knew the situation personally. I focused on rhinoplasties, breast augmentation and liposuction as well as present plastic surgery trends and side effects. We wanted to bring notice to the fact that plastic surgery shouldn’t be looked down upon in society and there are many valid reasons for it.
