...life. Audience, in this opportunity I’d like to deliver a speech under the topic of “Beauty vs Brain” Ladies and gentleman, If God gave us ability and we had to choose ,which one would you prefer?would you prefer your looks or your personality?your beauty or your brain?maybe half of us will be so confused to choose,because half of people think that beauty is the most advantegous and half of people think that brain is more important. In reality,nowadays people gives value to looks more than personality. Nowadays people gives more chance to the beautiful one than the intelligent one. It’s sad that we live in a world where looking good gets you further in life than being intelligent. How it could be like this?this situation happens because we always judge the book by its cover,we just see the looks,but we never care about its contents. But,when it comes to me to choose whether the beauty or the brain,I’ll immediately choose the brain. Here in my speech, I’ll give 3 reasons why brain is so much better than beauty. My first reason,brain is better than beauty because brain is countable in most of the areas or most of the stages of human life. Brain is something that’s real. Brain enables you to improve many different things in life. The experience you have,the books you read,the classes you take, will continue throughout your life,and will only add to your brain power. It is said that beauty is only skin deep, which implies that...

...[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...

...All throughout magazine’s, girls are shown what they should and should not look like. For instance, have you ever seen an overweight person on the cover of a magazine? This example is why so many girls are self conscious, because they are not only constantly judged by everyone around them, but also by guys. I think that guys play a major part in why girls sometimes do not feel pretty enough. For one, most guys do not talk to the girls that they do not feel are up to their “standards.” In most cases, personality is the last thing that even matters. Most guys only care about the outside appearance. Even though they say that they look for sweet, beautiful girls, they tend to go for the brainless fake girls instead. Even though guys might say that they want sophisticated girls that are intelligent and sweet, they usually don’t keep their word. Unfortunately, girls cannot control the looks they are born with, but it is also up to them weather to change themselves just for the benefit of guys. Having high expectations is not only rude, but it is also making girls be something they are not. If a guy truly liked a girl, he would accept the way she was and not ask her to change. Even though magazines show that we are supposed to look thin, with perfect hair and a perfect body, girls cannot be perfect no matter how hard we try. Even though on the surface, a girl may act like they are comfortable with being someone who they aren’t, they would much rather be accepted the way they are...

...Should music be censored? Censorship affects us in many different ways, it affects everything around us. For Instance, it affects the movie we watch, the music we listen. In one word it is restrictions on what people of art create and limits artists opportunity to fully express themselves. Of course, one of the way express your feelings and emotions is the music, which become controversial form of censorship.There have been many different arguments on the topic, however the question still remains as if it should be censored r it should not be censored. I think that music should be censored because it clashes with moral values, negative stereotypes and with generational value gaps. In all types of music artists are expressing their views, opinions and feeling in their songs about what they see and what they know. This is one of the great thing that you have freedom to express yourself. Nevertheless, music is censored because it changes moral expression, as outreach of wrong values as drugs and values, ideas, and beliefs for the worse. As people of different ages use music as a tool of self violence through music could lead to loosening of moral values. They believe that music pertaining profanity is one of the main factors for the problems that occur in our society. Such problems consist of an increase in violence and drug use amongst adolescents. An example was the incident that occurred at, where the media and others looked towards music as one...

...TO HAVE BRAIN THAN BEAUTY ‘Knowledge is power’ and brain is the container of knowledge. A man is different from a beast only for his brain that makes him learn to differentiate between good and evil. Physical beauty is an added quality. Life is enlightened for brains and not for beauty. A beautiful appearance with dull brains is of no use. On the other hand, a bugle appearance having a powerful brain can produce something for human welfare. So, brains have got prominence over beauty. Beauty and brains are two vital factors foe humans. Someone would prefer having beautiful and good looking appearance and feel they are very lucky. On the other hand, someone would prefer having brains. I would prefer having brains than beauty. Beauty is a comparative idea. Someone may be exceptionally beautiful wouldn’t last for life-time. One’s physical beauty can easily be abated. So the stability of physical attraction is not getting guarantee for life-time. If a beautiful women or a handsome man loses physical attraction, she or he would fail getting response from other people. It is sometimes said that brain or talent is god-gifted thing. If it is such a thing, it requires nourishment properly. If one’s brain is not is not used, he or she is surely to be a worthless creature. Through use or practice of brain a man can do lot for himself, for his society, for his country and even for the world. A man who can do a lot for himself, for have physical beauty necessarily. A man of brains can easily...

...INTRODUCTION The plays and prefaces of Bernard Shaw deal with many and diverse themes. At least four, however, concern themselves with evolutionary themes and ideas: Man and Superman, Back to Methusalah, The Simpleton of the Unexpected Isles, and Far-fetched Fables. In Man and Superman, especially the third act, the preface, and The Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion, Shaw touches on two main themes: the pursuit of man by woman and the direction of evolution, which Shaw sees as leading towards the development of the mind and brain. In Back to Methusalah, Shaw carries forward his vision of evolution as proceeding in the direction of mental development but introduces a seemingly new idea in the last play of the cycle, the antithesis of mind and body. Shaw's dualism receives its most explicit statement in the last play of the cycle although there may be indications of it in the earlier plays. The mind-body antithesis, however, derives as a philosophical problem from Descartes,1 although the antithesis also appeared in the Manichean and Gnostic heresies, the spirit, or mind, being regarded as good and the body as evil. Although the antithesis of body and mind makes its first open appearance in the Methusalah cycle, it is present, at least as an implicit assumption in Man and Superman. Don Juan continually expresses his longing for the life of contemplation, a life which is to be achieved at the expense of the body. We will deal with the presence of the mind body antithesis...

By reComparison Contributor comments 12 views9893 Difference between Beauty and Brains Beauty or brains? A question often answered, a result seen all the time. It usually depends from person to person on what type of a partner they prefer but in this discussion or one could say for argument’s sake that both have co-existed in every society for centuries and no definite conclusion has ever been made conclusively to cause people stop asking this question. Even though a comparison of two opposites is most likely to end as a tie, one cannot help but take the risk of seeing what is so important about these two it that raises a question like this today. Beauty Brains Photo by mijori Photo by daveeza Physical Beauty over Intellect There are many people to whom we can put under the banner of "materialistic". It's not only all about the possession anymore; it matters a lot on who you have as a partner. The trend also dictates the value of looks to the extent that intellect and inner beauty is of lesser value in comparison to the way a person looks. It is sad if one considers that people have lost the value of a person over physical features. However, the importance of the looks factor is common is still in the minority, which is a relief to the more heart centered...

...Beauty pageants Thought out America many people argue that beauty pageants for kids should be legal because it helps little girl feel bit more confident, and beautiful, and on the other side people think it should be banned because it rottens little girls minds and over sexualizes little girls. Kids beauty pageants should be banned because, it over sexualizes young girls, teaches young girl a bad message, and lastly unhealthy attitude shown by the child regarding her self-esteem. In the United States, legal adulthood and ability to give consents around age 18, yet in child beauty pageants, the children's consenting guardian allow them to participate. Beauty pageants are not inherently sexual, but when a child wears a ton of make-up, wears high heels and skimpy clothes, and after that makes flirtatious poses it pretty hard not to say people end up sexualizing little girls at such a young age. Beauty pageants took part in the American society in the 1920's, but child pageants started later in the 1960's. Child beauty pageants consist of modeling, dance and talent, but above all else Beauty. Young girls are taught that beauty is the most important thing at such a young age, and how what’s in the outside is more important than the inside. “Contests promote physical beauty as a main value, complimented of course by the “special talent” and “warm hearts”. A child, especially a female that is going to pay so much attention to her looks and that knows she is being assessed for...

...Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder. This phrase first appeared in Greece in the third century BC and is still believed by people today. With today's society’s standards, though, who is the beholder? The media produced all around us makes beauty seem like some big thing and that all people should look the way a model looks on a billboard or in a magazine. What kind of message is this? If you don't like the way your body looks, just try to make it look like that supermodel you saw! This is an awful way of portraying beauty to youth, so really, what exactly is beauty? There are many different views on what beauty is all over the world. Ancient Greeks introduced beauty as something that produces delightful reactions and sensations in the mind. In that time period, proportion and symmetry were beautiful to the human eye. The Ancient Greeks thought pale skin and golden colored hair were beautiful and showed prestige. Greek women would take the risk of lightening their skin with white lead, a toxic material that very well could have shortened their lifespans. To lighten their hair to this nice golden color, they would apply vinegar to their locks and spend time in the sun. To prevent tanning their skin while doing this process, brimmed hats were used to shield the skin from the sun’s rays (Beautiful with Brains). The Greeks were obsessed with the human physique, being an example of perfect symmetry. Aesthetics like these were what led to the modern opinions of what beauty...

...The subjects of attraction and beauty are topics I have almost always found to be very curious and intriguing, so I was very excited to learn about them in this chapter. Before reading this chapter, I questioned whether our attraction to physical beauty is a disposition we are born with or if it is something that we become more responsive to due to the way our society promotes and idolizes it. I also wonder why people become so obsessed with this idea of physical beauty that they are willing to take extreme measures to obtain it. In this chapter, I was very surprised to learn that our attraction to beauty is not entirely the result of the culture we are raised in, but it is also due to our human nature. A study described in this chapter found that infants (too young to have been affected by culture’s idea of beauty)spent more time staring at attractive faces versus unattractive faces (p. 347).This supports the idea that we are born to favor physical beauty. But how do we classify what is beautiful? I think the idea, proposed by Judith Langlois and Lori Roggman, makes a lot of sense. They proposed that people tend to find “averaged” faces as attractive because they are more prototypical and familiar (p. 347). This made sense to me because in my introductory to psychology class, we learned that when people are asked to imagine an apple, they picture a red, shiny, flawless apple. We do this because it’s easier for our brain to take a shortcut by imagining an average of all...

...A case related to illusions Everyday, we hear, we sense, we see a lot of information. When our brain, our perceptual system, misinterprets the information, the perceptual illusions occur. It is a cognitive perception, because you transmit information to the brain and our brain starts to process. I came up with four examples that are either from my own experiences or from my visual observation. And I think they can be used to illustrate perceptual illusions. But I’m not sure whether two of those examples are perceptual illusions. I think they are more similar to optical illusions. Beauty & Health Care Stores As a girl, I often go to some beauty stores to purchase some cosmetics. Sometimes when I step into a beauty & health care store, I have a feeling that the store is very big and bright. But actually it’s not the case. The owner of the store usually decorate the store with full of mirrors, the mirrors may give the consumers the feelings that this store is really big. It’s often the promotion strategy that the stores used. In this case, the actual and perceived size of the store has a discrepancy. My brain misinterprets the size of the store, and then it’s perceptual illusion. The railways When I was very young, my parents were too busy to take care of me. So I spent a lot of vacations in my grandparents’ home, and I took the train to their home. Each time when I was on the train and the train was in the platform waiting to leave, I felt that our train was moving when...

...discrete and completely independent ways of processing information about the world. Also, there is the perception that the processing of signals from the eyes is completely separate from the processing of signals from the ears. Others still think that there are physically isolable systems in the brain corresponding to each sense. Looking at human physiological mechanisms pertaining to different senses, we find that they are not completely discrete (Macpherson, 2011). Research shows that there is interaction between sensation and audition referred to as sensory modalities. I believe human senses can be accurate because deliverables of senses feed into one cognitive system that comprises and governing beliefs, desires, thoughts, and other proportional attitudes. An example is that if one hears a scream and sees a Lion, it is obvious to come to one believe that there is both scream and Lion within the environment. On the other hand, human senses are not without weaknesses. A Rhine (1997) note that there are weaknesses of human senses and gives an example of admiration of beauty. He illustrates that admiration of beauty is a symptom of human senses. If the senses were perfect, there would be no beauty. He believes that it is not someone’s nature but the weakness...

...2016 The Cost of Envy “[Beauty] It’s the unspoken tidal desire in every room and on every street” (Martin 753). Beauty has always been a conflict because it is the destiny of the man to feel envy, resulting in man not seeing the negative outcomes of their envy. People pay attention to the successful job or the physical beauty of others, but never notice see the difficulties that lie in wait under that which they envy. In the play “Beauty”, Jane Martin utilizes classification and comparison to define the differences and show how envy blinds a person to real defies. Carla’s personification as the perfect beauty opens the door to the theme of envy. Martin’s description of Carla symbolizes her occupation as a model. That being said, Carla says that she has “three modeling calls” from Ralph Lauren (Martin 751). In this point Martin expresses how beautiful Carla is, in order to, have the ideal job of beautiful women: get modeling calls from a famous designer companies. The author’s physical description of Carla is contradicted when Carla mentions her intelligence. This description suits Carla into having physical beauty, but being brainless. Therefore, it includes Carla into the stereotypical group of the empty-headed blonde beauty. Carla acknowledges that she has never read a complete book and that “Page 6, I can’t remember page 4” (Martin 753). This declaration restates the fact that Carla perfectly suits into the stereotypical beauty: all beauty, no brains. Author Jane Martin takes...
