I think that the episode and scene that I watched and my real world phenomena fit really well together.  They both show that no matter what you do perfection is really not an attainable thing, yet everyone aspires to be perfect for some reason.  Even with the huge strides that we have created in technology and science things can still go wrong and nothing can ever be absolutely perfect.  In Dollhouse this is shown because they have this huge organization, just like plastic surgery does, and they have done so much research and science is even more advanced than it is in our world today yet they still can’t obtain perfection.  Things will always go wrong.  This episode allows me to see that even potentially in the future when things are even more researched and advanced than they are today people will still want to be perfect but it still won’t be possible.  This episode has also showed all of the ways that people try to cover up their flaws and come off as someone different than they actually are.  Men want the perfect girl and they go to this dollhouse to get her, even just for a weekend because they can’t find her in real life.  People’s standards are set so high that they feel like they can never overcome them and be perfect for someone.  People put on faces and pretend to be someone that they aren’t because they think they would be better liked.  People get plastic surgery because they think it will make them more attractive and they might find someone.  Many women don’t leave the house without makeup on because they are embarrassed of the way that they naturally look.  It’s really sad that our society has come to this and it’s accepted nowadays.
