Summary In the article "Social Bodies: Tightening the Bonds of Beauty", Deborah A. Sullivan, who is the sociology professor at Arizona State University and the co-author of Labor Pains: Modern Midwives and Home Birth, points out that the concept of "social body" has evolved in the context of social and cultural change. After providing a brief overview of the social nature of bodies, Deborah illustrates that body customs play an important role in society because the body can be used to imply power, status, social identity, and group membership. Furthermore, body customs affect modern societies as well.
