Why have we become a "preventative" society?

THIS is ridiculous!
It is a sad day when our younger generations are having to take "preventative" measures, based upon their appearance, to make it in the world peaceably. What is even more sad, is the fact that these "expectations," or should I say social constructions are coming from disillusioned former generations. Precious 7-year-old Samantha Shaw cannot even accept the truth in the very first word of this sentence- that she is precious. Not solely because of the pressure from her elementary friends, but from their even more maliciously deceived parents did Samantha face criticism. Samantha may have heard it a bit from her young peers, but it was the remarks made by her peer's parents to Samantha's mother that led her mother to the decision of nipping and tucking her daughter's ears. Not only does the tragedy lie in the fact that this was done as preventative measures for Samantha's future, but the fact that this practice is openly accepted, even on a child.
Young and innocent-minded Samantha cannot even grow up in an unbiased, un-littered environment because of all the social constructions we have made today to define a culturally-varying term such as, "attractive." Fortunately, she has blonde hair and blue eyes, because otherwise she may have to have that altered as well. I mean seriously, society has created a picture of what is acceptable to our eyes and what is not. Yet, this negates and brainwashes the people from the truth that we are created uniquely and fashioned in such a way that there is no other like our selves. Having pale skin no longer is a trademark of your image, but a curse because you were born "unacceptable" or "cursed." This truly breaks my heart. In the "Land of the Free," not one person came come and live the "American Dream." This endeavor is literally impossible and I honestly hope people come to see this truth through eyes of enlightenment. That we are beautyfull.
