Modern culture is permeated with an interest in human physicality. In the history of philosophy and culture, the problem of the body and body identity has arisen repeatedly, but today social knowledge makes the human body a reflection of many social practices. In modern society, the body is constantly being changed and evaluated. According to the author, the transformation of physicality is based on a number of strategies that receive social encouragement or disapproval. The choice of one of the strategy groups is based on the phenomenon of locus of control and Self-identity. Choosing a strategy requires a person to do serious internal work related to self-awareness and their body, leading to the formation of a body for the person or a body focused on the needs of society and external evaluation.
