...Inner Beauty vs Outer Beauty There are many definitions of beauty. Ask people what they are and this will be the most common answer “Beauty is something that defines people”. There are two types of beauty, inner beauty and outer beauty. Both of these are very important for you to be you. Outer beauty is when you’re pretty outside, which means you are good looking. It is something that attracts people first, though outer beauty is different for everyone. Everyone has a different standard of outer beauty. Outer beauty changes overtime, maybe you look beautiful when your 20 but you won’t be the same when your 65. Inner beauty can be a person’s traits, personality, or habits. Inner beauty is when someone is kind, selfless, and helpful. People who’ve known someone for a while can truly know about their inner beauty. Unlike outer beauty inner beauty is not changeable, so even though you are in your 20’s or in your 60’s you will still be the same. Outer beauty is important, looks do matter, but that doesn’t mean being born beautiful, it means making yourself look presentable even though you don’t match the “beauty standards”, doesn’t matter if your skin tone is a problem or your figure. The one that counts most is the inner beauty without a person would be no where because outer beauty is just looks and nothing else while inner beauty is personality, intelligence and many more things. Focusing on your inner beauty is better than focusing on your outer beauty; it is...

...Gender in Advertisements Introduction Publications and writings have always been used to express ideas and thoughts about particular people things, goods, services as well as civilizations, and the same are also used to document history and get evidence about the events and happenings of the past. It is eminent to mention here that all the various forms of publications have their own style of writing and have been produced to serve some particular purpose, which is different from all the other forms and types. A look at the history of magazines reveals that they were mainly published to provide people with some fun-to-read stuff, which is presented in light as well as lively manner, providing the reader with some relief from the routine and also providing them with details of the news and events that they are interested in.

...Beauty lies in the Eyes of Beholder: How true is this Statement? There is a famous saying that beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. In many instances this statement proves to be true as various people have different tastes. In some instances where we see huge billboards, magazine covers and television advertisements covered with faces of beautiful models we do not agree with the statement ‘Beauty lies in the Eyes of Beholder’ as such instances there are so many people involved having similar tastes. Some men prefer dating chubby women with fair complexion while others prefer skinny women with attractive vital stats. Similarly, some women prefer hairy men and find them strong and attractive while some think of such men as virile and repulsive. The concept of beauty has evolved from era to era. In the modern world men and women have different tastes for beauty while people living in early 60’s and 70’s had different tastes for beauty. In the earlier eras women had to be fat to be considered as beautiful as seen in many of the paintings of the Titian. The concept of beauty is again changing gradually with popular actors like Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez revealing that a beautiful woman is indeed with curves. As a matter of fact, when we are younger and growing up we admire things that appear beautiful from the outside. We are tempted towards beautiful men and women without considering much about their real inner self. But as we grow and enter...

...“Looks don’t matter; beauty is only skin-deep.” We hear these sayings every day, and yet we live in a society that seems to contradict this very idea. If looks do not matter, why does the media use airbrushing to hide any flaws a model has? If looks do not matter, why do so many teenage women suffer from low self-esteem? If looks really do not matter, why do so many young women struggle with eating disorders? It is because our society promotes a certain body image as being beautiful, and it’s a far cry from the average woman’s size 12. A common issue young women face in today’s society is the airbrushing of models in the media, creating an impossible ideal for these young women to strive for. The unrealistic standard of beauty that women are bombarded with everyday gives them a goal that is impossible to reach, and the effects are devastating....

...Brittney Montgomery ENC1102 March 29, 2015 The Highest Standard of Beauty The poem “Dim Lady” by Harryette Mullen skillfully mimics the sonnet “my mistresses’ eyes are nothing like the sun.” Mullen’s expert use of poetic structure and subject matter highlights the similarities and the differences to the original writing by Shakespeare. Despite Mullen and Shakespeare’s pieces being written more than three decades apart, Mullen identifies the same slanted view of beauty that is present in Shakespeare’s original work, although Mullen presents his view in a contemporary fashion. The poem “Dim Lady” provides current readers with a lively satire that is concerned with flawed standards of beauty in a modern day format. Although “Dim Lady” and “my mistresses’ eyes are nothing like the sun” share many similarities in the areas of subject matter, style, and rhyme scheme, the two pieces also present many differences. Shakespeare’s sonnet “my mistresses’ eyes are nothing like the sun” exhibits a very traditional style and poetic structure. The poem includes a rhyme schemes that is used as the conclusion for the piece. Shakespeare uses a traditional form of sonnet in his work because this was the honored style during his period. Shakespeare’s sonnet includes many outdated and invalid stereotypes as well as some vocabulary that is not utilized in present day. For instance, in Shakespeare’s sonnets uses the noun “dun” which is defined as a dusty color, but the word is not common and...

...Professor Hicks English 1301- section 44 13 October 2013 RAE As a guest editor I was asked to review and analyze Raina Kelley’s article “Beauty is Defined, and Not By You”, and either recommend it or not for publishing in The Shorthorn. After considering all rhetorical appeal in Kelley’s writing, I concluded that it would be read at large by the UTA community. Therefore I must recommend the publication in The Shorthorn, due to the fact that the article shows great potential to appeal to the readers, particularly the women in the UTA community. Taking in consideration the integrity of The Shorthorn, as the editor appealing to the readers is a priority; and this article is likely to peak the UTA community’s interest because it emphasizes that beauty is not essential for success. Although Kelley shows an aggressive tone in her writing, this article should be published because she establishes her credibility as a writer by sharing her personal experience, as well as her logical structure when stating facts about beauty products, and once more strengthens her credibility by addressing her counterargument, that although not a priority beauty matters to a certain extent. Kelley’s primary claim is that trying to keep up with the beauty standard should not be as important, whereas education and merit truly define standards. She supports her main claim with three well developed reasons, first one being that as an African-American women she managed to be one of many women that succeed...

...S******* Engl 1201 – 17 Chapter Four Paper October 11, 2013 Beauty Lies Within The Eyes Of The Beholder The year is now 2010 and as we enter this new decade, we encounter so many new trends, fashion and styles. No matter what your budget might be, it seems like everyone has the same goal in mind. They want to be beautiful and look “beautiful.” Grace Suh’s essay, “Eye of the Beholder,” details her struggle as a Korean girl to conform to a Western ideal of beauty. After her makeover, Suh felt negated and also felt like a stranger was staring back at her when she looked at herself in the mirror. Finally, she realizes that she was content with the way she naturally looked, which causes her to leave the makeup behind her on the commuter train. To me, beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance. Think about the word beautiful for a moment, when we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But I find that the most memorable "beautiful people" are the ones who have captivating personalities behind the beautiful faces. In my high school graduating class, there were two girls whose beauty just stood out among the rest, Chelsea and Tressa. Both had almost...

...What is Beauty? Everyone wants to be beautiful. Eternal beauty is consciously sought after. Beauty is sometimes found in outward appearances. People like to look and feel beautiful at all times. Beauty sometimes can be found in someone’s heart. People that have a calm, loving heart are beautiful. Beauty can be sometimes the way someone acts. People who do a lot of charity work do a beautiful service to the community. No matter where you look, there is beauty all around you. All one has to do is look for it. When people hear the word beautiful, they think about a beautiful woman. American society says that women should have perfect hourglass figure, be a size six or smaller yet a have a larger set of breasts and a big butt. A perfect example of this type of girl is Pamela Anderson. American society also says that men should have a perfect jaw-line, have perfect triceps, a rock solid six-pack and be six feet tall. Women that don’t have size six waists or smaller often feel insecure about them, and have low self-esteem. Men who aren’t six feet tall with a perfect body frequently suffer from low self-esteem. Men and women that do have the perfect body are considered beautiful and are worshiped. A perfect example of this kind of man is Chris Hemsworth. People who only care about external beauty called are superficial. Sometimes beauty is only skin deep. There are some people that have a calm, loving heart and they are called beautiful.

...[Beauty vs Brain!] * In today's world, the packing is more important that the content. The cover of the book is more important the book itself. The cast of the movie attracts the audiences to theatres than the storyline. Just like that, when you meet a human being, the very first thing that you notice is the way he looks. It's very natural, nothing wrong about that. More often than not, a person's talent is ignored just because he/she happens to look .. well, plain. Be it in the professional or the personal life, a man / woman needs to have a good personality to climb that ladder of success. Or not? Why do you need to look beautiful to be successful? Except of course in the glam-world of movies/modelling. It is raw talent and your ability to talk your way through challanging situations that makes you meet success face-to-face! * Let us know what YOU think about it. Is it about the Brain or the Beauty?! Beauty is important, but only in fields where it is a necessity..like modelling , acting and other forms of entertainment.. In all other fields, politics, technology etc ,science ,there are many people who have done so well ,, inspite of the facts that they are not beautiful.. Of course, there are some people who are prejudiced towards beauty , and so those who are beautiful do have an upper hand . But again, if the person is talented enough, he should be able to make it to the top, irrespective of his looks.. * the brains will be the ones either interviewing...

...Analysis #2 My whole life I have heard it said that beauty should be based on what is on the inside and not what is seen from the outside. Christina Aguilera in her song “Beautiful” displays the current struggle society is having to overcome regarding true beauty. In her music video she displays several people, all varying in age and gender, in conflict themselves based on their appearance, inner personality, or sexual preferences. Christina is trying to take a stand against what society is telling people to do or look like and show what true beauty really is. In her music video it opens showing several different people who are obviously conflicted for reasons not yet said. The video displays a young skinny girl in her underwear looking at a mirror, a skinny young boy laying on the floor, an old man lying on his bed also in underwear, a girl getting beat up, a beautiful girl sitting by the fire looking at magazines of beautiful women and a same-sex couple kissing intimately in public. As the video keeps playing we can see that all of these people are fighting with different aspects of society’s expectation of beauty and acceptance. If you listen carefully to the lyrics of Christina’s song you can see that she is attempting to fight back against this false idea and show society that everyone is “beautiful, no matter what they say.”(Christina Aguilera - Beautiful) When Christina says “no matter what they say” she is referring to society saying that in order to be beautiful...

...Barbie Doll Women have a wrong perspective about beauty. With media and social networking on the rise, the standard of beauty is skewed to what others portray it to be. Women who don’t have supportive people around them to reinforce the true concept of beauty often grow up to be self-destructive and seek validation from all the wrong places. There is too much importance and too much anxiety placed on women to surrender to the image of being or becoming a Barbie doll. In the poem “Barbie Doll,” written by Marge Piercy tells a story of a young girl’s short life. The girl is born and lives a normal life until she is made fun of during puberty which causes her to commit suicide. In this poem we see evidence to this idea in the poet’s use of irony, her attitude on the subjects of both inner and outer beauty, and her attitude on the significance of words interfering with a woman’s self confidence. To begin, the poet’s use of irony is felt most toward the end of the poem. The very thought that people would say a person is pretty only after they are dead and it is too late for them to hear is sad and disturbing. “Doesn’t she look pretty? Everyone said.” In fact, the reason a person looks pretty in their casket is because they are “made-up” to look their best. This is seen more specifically with these lines, “the undertaker’s cosmetics painted on, a turned-up putty nose, and dressed in a pink and white night.” We are lead to believe that the entire group of people at the funeral thinks...

...What is beauty? What does it mean? Well I asked people that question....and do you know what they said? I quote “when you look appealing to other people,” “when other people say you look good.” Do you know what the definition of beauty is in the dictionary? “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the eye, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.)” I want to emphasize for a moment on the word eye..... E.Y.E. See, what God thinks is beautiful is a whole lot different from what “society” and the “general public” thinks is beautiful. The way I see it the ONLY opinion that even matters is Gods. The beauty he loves, is inner beauty. My mom always told me beauty is as beauty does. See I went through a really hard time all through elementary school and all through middle school. Obviously I am not the skinniest person in the world. I mean come on people lets face it, am I gonna be a skinny super model....no. Do I care....no! But what I did care about is what people thought of me. How people perceived me....when they looked at me did they see just some chubby teen, or do they see a vivacious, hilarious girl with a cool personality? Well, what do you think they thought? They thought the chubby teen......I used to get made fun of so badly in school. People would call me names and laugh at me. I felt extremely insecure ALL the time.............................. The reason I want to stress so hard...
