Beauty...

     In all these different cultures there are all these different definitions of beautiful. In america girls re3 considered beautiful if they are skinny, have big breasts, and a big but. I mean they right tons of songs about it too. Unshaved legs or armpits are not considered beautiful and neither are uni-brows. Take the movie dodgeball. They have this women on one of the teams who is made fun of for being "ugly" she has a unibrow, buck teeth, and wears her hair like princess Leah.
In america if you ever went out of the house like that people would be starting at you, secretly taking photos, and sending them to their friends and ranting about it. But if you were to maybe look at another culture you would see that their opinion on what beautiful looks like is totally different from ours.
One example is that in china people would break their feet to make them fit in these tiny shoes because it was considered beautiful. Someone from china may have thought that was beautiful but in america people think that its terrible and disgusting.

I found this link that showed all these different traits of beauty.




In Thailand neck rings are popular. They make their necks longer and what that to them means beauty to americans seems deranged.







There's the Maori people in New Zealand who get tattoos on their faces called
moko. For women the ultimate sign of beauty was full blue lips and tattoos covering their chin. I know that in other countries people would not even think about doing that because they thought it would make them look unpleasant.





In west Africa (if you are Mauritanian) if you are over weight you are thought of as wealthy. They are considered wealthy when they have stretch marks, fat ankles, and large stomachs. In america thats crazy! Its considered ugly.


But beauty is not just about what you wear its also has to do with the shape of your face, the color of your skin, the color of your eyes, the shape of your lips, the length of your forehead, the shape of your nose... People get plastic surgery and make themselves do things to fit what is considered beautiful in that part of the world or in their culture.
     In my opinion I think that when looking at all these different types of beauty... Beauty is this idea of this perfect person... Beauty is every type of body shape, eye color, face shape, and other physical features its just considered beautiful in different places.  I mean no matter how you look in some way you are beautiful. I would like to say that I don't care and all these opinions in america don't affect me. But really I can't. We try to live up to all these versions of beauty wherever we are and we are willing to hurt ourselves and subject ourselves to all these things just to be "beautiful". I watched these videos down bellow and it really showed me how beauty is different everywhere you go... And after seeing the diversity of the beautiful people above I can say that there is no possible way for there to be one person who is the picture of beauty everywhere.
