Summary: In this world there is the option of calli which is a devise that turns the part of your brain off that judges beauty of the face. Calli is an option. In this story there are numerous different views presented. Also there is a girl Tamera who had calli until college when she got it switched off. There are many different views where people wish to make it mandatory for everyone and then there are people that want to eliminate it. Tamera finds that after going a few weeks with her calli turned off that she likes it better with it on. The real debate is whether or not it should exist and if physical appearance is what corrupts our world today.
Reaction:
As of right now I stand pretty close to the middle of this discussion. I believe that there are way calli could be a great thing to have. I have to agree that it is very intimidating to see models and to want to be like them. There are many people across the world that spend their day comparing themselves to others around them. I believe that calli could be a very helpful attribute for job interviewing.Another way it could be beneficial is when finding a soul mate. There is a great possibility that the number of divorces could drop significantly because marriage would be more based on compatibility than on looks. I also believe that if calli were to be used it would have to be used by everyone and there would not be the choice of turning it off.
There are reasons I don’t think that calli should exist. I feel that God made us who we are because that is how he wanted us to look. I’m not saying judging is a good thing by any means but I also believe that each individual is unique and calli might take that uniqueness away. Each individual has their own talents and I believe we should use those talents to our advantage.
