Frequently Asked Questions
What role does society play in determining beauty standards?
Social perceptions of beauty can be brutally unrealistic where the standards do not accept anything to be beautiful unless it is flawless. Fair skin, a well-proportioned body, and symmetrical facial features with not a single hair out of place are the general standard. Out in the world where our appearance is the first marker of our identity, social perceptions of it are greatly impactful.
How have beauty standards changed over time?
Over time, beauty standards have relaxed considerably. The earliest beauty standards in many cultures, especially for women, were painfully oppressive. The brass neck rings in Burma, foot-binding in China, and wooden nose plugs in Arunachal Pradesh, India, are some examples where the beauty practices were a rite of passage for women. In today’s time, we have hair removal, cosmetic surgeries, and chemical processes to enhance one’s physical appearance; however, women have the liberty to get them done or embrace their natural selves.
How can we celebrate the beauty of all girls around the world?
To be able to celebrate the beauty of girls all over the world, one must first be aware and respectful of current cultural beauty standards and practices. The next step is not to criticize another’s beauty choices as long as they are healthy and safe. Accepting how others choose to present themselves in their personal spaces and providing a non-judgemental space for self-expression is the best way to celebrate beauty in everyone.
How does the media portray beauty and what impact does this have?
The media is known to show an exaggerated and obsessive portrayal of present beauty trends. There is heavy editing to ensure human faces look more porcelain than flesh, and the advertising is excessive. The frequency of these images doing the rounds on the internet, coupled with manipulative write-ups and internet-user interactions, build a seemingly concrete idea of what is and isn’t beautiful. This can heavily impact the self-esteem and opinions of internet consumers.
Key Takeaways
- Qualities that truly make a woman admirable and iconic extend beyond her facial features or body image.
- The definition of beauty extends to a woman’s talents, intelligence, hard work and fabulous personality.
