Beauty
I think that there have been good arguments made, and ones that were not so good. How people perceive beauty is different for everyone. I feel that the readings have brought up many good points about the way things seem to be in our society. In regards as to our perception of beauty and if it is healthy or not i can see two sides. The first side is that being to skinny and doing things to your body to try to make it better(look better) is not healthy. The second side being that it is the way humans have described the word beauty for sometime, and it is not healthy to be overweight. This is the way that i feel that America views the word society. I do believe that our society focuses on appearance a lot more than most other things in this world that pertain to beauty.

Actually, being slightly overweight leads to a longer life span, according to some recent studies. So, a bit of extra weight isn't necessarily a horribly unhealthy practice.
ReplyDeleteCould you give some examples from your first sentence? Are you referring to arguments from the readings or those that you heard in class?
