Personal Reflection:
Beauty has many meanings it is not limited to the appearance of things only. Though the appearance creates the first impression but first impression is never the last impression. Physical beauty lasts for sometime this is why it is time bound. We see beautiful faces appear and appreciated then one day they lose their importance and charm and another face takes their place.
The Clairol What is Beauty? Survey, conducted by The Harris Poll surveyed over 3,600 women (age 18-60), men (age 18-60) and teen girls (age 13-17) to explore current perceptions about beauty in America today. What emerged from the survey is a multi-faceted definition of beauty, which reveals that while beauty is considered important, it is also considered extremely
individualistic. Roughly 90 percent of the adults surveyed believe that every woman creates her own image of beauty.
A Beauty All Her Own
Half of the women and girls surveyed believe that their beauty is something they created on their own. And it's personal preference, not media influence that shapes what that beauty is. While three in four women say the media decides what is beautiful, almost an equal number of them say they are only somewhat or not at all influenced by the images they see in the media.
My Personal Opinion:
I personally feel that outer appearance does not reflect your inner self. Quoted from wiki answers, ‘’ Your inner self is the person you are inside. Like when someone asks you how you are doing, and you say "good" even though you feel crummy inside. You inner self is who you are not in front of others.’’ , I would like highlight the point that the outer appearance is different and does not reflect the inner self. An instance of my experience, I was judged in primary school by my outer appearance, not my inner self. Even if I was a excellent student and teachers praised me, my classmates would instead envy me rather than befriending me. However, in Cedar, I was valued for my knowledge and I shared the same values with some of them, yielding me a group of best friends which I really enjoyed working with. So, I really feel that no one should be judged by their looks, rather their inner self.
