Karl Marx was a sociologist, and theorist. His ideas formed the basis for many of the theories used to describe society today, including the idea of a dominant ideology. This theory means a set of common values and beliefs which are in society and are believed by the majority. These views are normally those of the upper/middle classes.
Therefore the lower, working classes will be forced into believing them as they have no power to have their own views, and are probably not educated enough to realise they are being exploited.
This concept can be applied to cosmetic surgery, as if the upper classes are saying cosmetic surgery is the right thing to do then the working classes are likely to also go and also get it done, because they may not be able to rebel against the dominant thoughts in society.
In my judgement I believe that the working classes are dominated by those above them, and are also very naive. They also may not have the educational attainment that the upper classes, a consequence of this is that they may not know any better and may be sucked into capitalism.
