| Sumario: | There is at present an interest in the image we project to others, without any distinction of social class, age, race, or sex. In order to obtain a beautiful figure, young people find in their social and daily living environment elongations, tattoos, piercings, different forms of dressing, cosmetic surgeries, implants, and fashion trends; therefore, it is of great importance to examine this aspect, as an increasing tendency to implementing these practices has been observed. This research aims to determine the impact of beliefs about the aesthetics of the body on the behavior of students of tenth and eleventh grades from Bogotá, since for diverse reasons they came to generate changes in how students face life. |
