  • Beauty, Biology, and Society

    1541 Words  | 4 Pages

    What is beauty? How do human beings decide who is attractive and who is not? Society is full of messages telling us what is beautiful, but what are those definitions based on? Do we consciously decide whom we are attracted to, or is biology somehow involved? The issue of beauty and how we define it has been studied for centuries. Scholars from all fields of study have searched for the "formula" for beauty. Darwin in his book The Descent of Man wrote, "It is certainly not true that there is in the mind of man any universal standard of beauty with respect to the human body. It is however, possible that certain tastes in the course of time become inherited, though I have no evidence in favor of this belief." (1) Science has tried to look at beauty beyond the conscious level. It has tried to determine what roles biology plays in human attraction. Scientists have discovered that symmetry and scent play a role in defining human attraction. (3) But while this can begin to explain beauty on the most basic of levels, what accounts for variations in the standard of beauty? The idea of beauty varies within different societies and communities. Do these cultural preferences have a biological basis? What is the relationship between biology and society in relation to the idea of beauty? How do they relate to each other, and how do they differ? In particular what role does science play in the preference that many societies, (in particular South Asian, East Asian, and North American Cultures), have for fairer skin?

  • Ambiguous Desire

    1013 Words  | 3 Pages

    150 million years ago, a brontosaurus roaming Pangaea somewhere died, decomposed, and was eventually buried. After the bones of the brontosaurus are isolated from the elements, the calcium leaches out and is replaced by sedimentary rock. Later on, when a paleontologist unearths the fossil, he or she discovers not a true bone, but a facsimile of a bone. In a way, it is a false approximation of the truth of that brontosaurus. Desire works in the same way as the process of fossilization. Desire also blinds people from reality and sequesters them from the elements around them. Similarly, desire replaces reality with a false approximation of it. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Tennessee Williams’s “A Streetcar Named Desire”, the power of desire blinds them to their problems or to what they originally wanted and replaces them with a false representation of their dilemmas and goals.

Ting also states that her, “lack of physically hotness makes it easier…to form an emotional connection.” Contrarily, according to studies done by psychologist Paul Dobransky, “In the first five minutes of meeting someone, it’s generally physical beauty that attracts men… It’s not about personality...”(Brennan).

People are influenced by the images they see in the media to determine what the ideal beauty is. The media is manipulative and deceptive in nature, and it continues to carry harmful suggestions about ideal beauty despite the concrete evidence of damaging effects to people of all ages.

  • Symmetry Defines Beauty

    1406 Words  | 3 Pages

    What attracts one person to another? The question is crucial as we consider the values of our society, the emphasis we put on physical beauty and beauty products, the new resurgence of weight loss wonder drugs and popular fad diets, not to mention a new reality TV show devoted to placing a new person under the knife for plastic surgery every week. All of these carry the same message: beauty is nearly synonymous with happiness. So then is the nature of "beauty" a philosophical conundrum, a biological issue, a psychological mind set, or a cultural problem? What are we attracted to, why are we attracted to it, and is there a ratio or specific definition of this beauty we are looking to attain?

    In "The Wife Of Bath’s Tale", women most desire sovereignty over men in relationships. In other words, the power to have dominance over men is the one thing women most desire. I agree with the ideas that in relationship women wish to be dominant over the opposite sex. The only way such power is earned or give is when the man is in a situation where the woman must bail him out of trouble.

  • Defining Beauty: The Concept Of Beauty

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    The concept of beauty can be hard to define, as it is an ever-evolving notion. What people perceive as beauty has varied through time, across cultures (Fallon 1990) and can also vary based on individuals. To a culture, beauty can be its customs and traditions, and to an individual it can include physical appearance (outer beauty) or personality (inner beauty). However the word beauty can also defer according to gender, Ambrose Bierce (1958) once wrote, “To men, a man is but a mind. Who cares what face he carries or what he wears? But a woman’s body is the woman.” Despite the societal changes achieved since Bierce’s time, this statement still holds true. Attractiveness is a prerequisite for femininity but not for masculinity (Freedman, 1986).

  • The Attainment of Beauty & Attractiveness across Cultures

    1933 Words  | 4 Pages

    What is beauty? Beauty is defined as “the quality of being physically attractive or the qualities in a person or a thing that give pleasure to the senses or the mind” (Merriam-Webster dictionary, 2014, para. 1). Heine (2012) has found that beauty and attractiveness can vary across cultures. Although, there are specific features of a person that seem to be considered as beautiful and attractive across all culture spectrums. These features are: complexion, bilateral symmetry, average sized facial features, and biracial faces. However, weight in regards to attractiveness and beauty varies drastically across cultures. Through this discovery, there may be a correlation between the perception of beauty and attractiveness in each culture and its effects of body dissatisfaction and eating disorder rates. Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder? We will examine how what is considered to be attractive and beautiful can have both similarities and differences across cultures. In addition, we will examine eating disorders, and how they are influenced by the beauty standards that are set in specific cultures.

  • Persuasive Essay On Physical Beauty

    1407 Words  | 3 Pages

    For countless ages, people have never stop pursuing the characteristic and definition of beauty. It is the power of beauty that makes something attractive to the others. One of the greatest writers in English language, William Shakespeare (1598) said 'Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye'. Although inner beauty is undeniably important, but does it still weigh much in this current society? If it does, how do people judge an individual when first met? Halo effect experiments had shown us that physical beauty plays a significant role in judging a person (Dean.J., 2007 ). Cognitive bias exists where our overall impression give influence to what people think about our character. Perception of “What is beautiful is good” is not something new. As the role of physical beauty expands, people start to investigate the causes which include genetics, facial proportions and symmetrical effects. It has become a trend for people to invest in the process of enhancing their physical beauty. For
