Perception of beauty- is thin beautiful?
Ends: 06/06/2010
The could be considered an age old question, but WHAT really is beauty. Within the world today we want to be thin, we consider that the symbol of beauty. People that we look up to, all the stylish supermodels noways are all thin as sticks. However, they are idolised my millions of teens around the world wanting to look like them, like people such a Victoria Beckham.
On the other side of the spectrum, there is a changing perception of beauty, with people starting to recognize that being 'thin' is not the full definition of beauty. Even the modeling world is molding a new category of 'plus sized models' that are growing in numbers. This perception is also present most in the western culture, however some other cultures in places such as Africa view 'chubby' or 'fat' as being beautiful. Also, when do we go to far with trying to become thin for the sake of good looks, as people are often diagnosed with anorexia, especially teenage girls who look up to their idols.
So, this brings me onto the question of this week's debate; what really is the right perception of beauty, is thin really beautiful. You can delve deeply into this debate giving your opinions and stating why.
