Discussion: Cosmetic surgery; vanity or necessity?

More people are opting for cosmetic surgery due to feelings of unhappiness with their current body. Do you think societal expectations and images from the media promote the ‘perfect body’ for women to aspire to or do you think it is an individual choice?

Discussion: 'An allowance for grandparents'?

Grandparents are more than ever before supporting the care needs of their grandchildren. However, they tend to be ignored by the government for the support they give. With many grandparents relying just on their pension as income, should a new ‘allowance for grandparents’ be introduced for the informal care they offer or is it their moral duty to support their family? What do you think?
