Judging analogies is important. We can’t just say that one side of an argument is better than they other isn’t really helpful. The analogy should be balanced on both sides, rather than being leaned towards one.
Actors and actresses are allowed to have tattoos while they work on television and movies. People with tattoos should be allowed to work as doctors and nurses without being judged.
First off, how is acting on a television show or movie even similar to being a doctor or a nurse?
The integrity of being a doctor or a nurse is far more important than expressing what’s on your body. The profession isn’t a fashion show. Plus, you wouldn’t want to scare patients with your inked out body. Seriously, if you’re dealing with a scared patient, you don’t want them to be even more scared.
Actors and actresses are allowed tattoos while on television shows and movies because they have make-up artists to cover them up every single day when they film something.
The integrity of the actor/actress is mostly based on looks too.
If they were to come in contact with other people, those people wouldn’t be scared of the tattoos. Rather, they would admire them for expressing their feelings through their tattoos, and would probably convince those people to get one too.
Therefore, since doctors and nurses come in everyday contact with people, they shouldn’t be tattooed.
Hey there! Once again, nice posts this week! I really like how you broke down the example that you have given. You made it super clear how the reasoning was weak and prove why doctors and nurses should not have tattoos. It does give me a better picture of how this reasoning works. I agree with the concept that doctors and nurses should not have tattoos. I believe that tattoos do look cool on people but it also look very unprofessional sometimes, especially with very professional jobs like in the health field. Tattoos do give a scary feeling as well because it is something that is associated with hard-core people. Good job in explaining; I always look forward to reading your post to help me understand concepts a bit more!!
