The film “Gattaca” depicts a perfect society created through the manipulation of genetic expression in humans. However, the ending of the film seems to share a message of encouraging the audience to accept their individuality. Though I think that most people might agree that it is extremely controversial and perhaps ‘wrong’ to use science to create a whole society of genetically uniform and ‘perfect’ people, social media pushes for the opposite affect. Many celebrities and Internet influences and societies feature the same ‘ideal’ body types, and this idea of perfection is only further spread when even celebs who push for the “#beyourself” or “#nofilter#nomakeup” trends also have had body altercations or have socially acceptable flawless skin or body types. I am not critiquing anyone who uses makeup or has had plastic surgery, but I think that there is a deeper paradox in society about ‘perfection and standards’ and soon a world like the one in Gattaca might very well exist.
