Can Beauty Be
Constructed
There
are many ways that beauty can be constructed. Beauty can be constructed by
stylists, makeup, clothes, implants, Botox, etc. Models especially have their
beauty constructed every day. Cameron Russell mentions in her perception of
beauty talk video that image is powerful but image is superficial. A terrible
habit that the media has instilled into woman and even young girls is to make
them feel the need to construct their beauty in order to be noticed. True
beauty is natural and does not need to be masked by makeup or plastic surgery.
In
general, Cameron Russell explains how beauty is constructed in the modeling
industry. She tells us how photographers, stylists, makeup, etc. all are used
to construct the worlds view of beauty. In her video Cameron says that image is
powerful but it is also superficial. What Cameron means by this is, even though
it is important to have a good image, it should not be the only thing that the world
sees you for. You shouldn’t be defined by the way you look or by the beauty
that has been constructed.
Furthermore,
today’s society judges women by the way that they look before anything else. It
is no wonder why women feel the need to construct their beauty in order to feel
good. If our society would take a second and look at someone for what they are
instead of what they look like, women would be more comfortable with themselves
as they are. It is because all of the magazines and media that portray women
and even young girls as sexy or beautiful with makeup on or surgery done that
makes every other girl feel not good enough if they do not construct their own
beauty.
In
conclusion, true beauty should not be covered up or constructed over. There are
many ways that beauty is constructed. Photographers, stylists, makeup, clothes,
plastic surgery, etc. can construct beauty. Women feel the need to fix the way
they look so they will be noticed. Cameron Russell states that image is
powerful but superficial. Women don’t need to construct their beauty in order
to get ahead. Beauty should be natural and come from within. It should never be
constructed.
Good afternoon Mas-
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas. You've done a good job. Now that we're beyond the middle of the semester, I'm going to start grading you harder on your grammar and spelling. If you want to earn better than a B in my course, you must carefully proofread your essays. Fix the following:
1) A terrible habit that the media has instilled into woman and even young girls is to make them feel the need to construct their beauty in order to be noticed.
2) She tells us how photographers, stylists, makeup, etc. all are used to construct the worlds view of beauty.
Development:
Cameron Russell states that image is powerful but superficial.-- What does this mean?
Why shouldn't beauty be constructed?
Do my comments make sense? Please respond.
