What is beauty? Is it the way you feel inside? Or is it the way you look? Beauty is perceived differently in every culture. In the Middle East, beauty is not just what people see. It’s what one may smell or catch a glimpse of. Polynesian woman are considered to be beautiful if they wear traditional tattoos on their lips and chin. In Japan and China, to be beautiful is to look skinny and fragile. This is the complete opposite compared to the ideal beautiful woman in Mauritania. There a beautiful woman is a woman with curves. Of course, here in the United States, we wouldn’t dare speak of wanting curves. The media has made the woman and girls of this country feel that if they’re not skinny or look like the woman in the magazines they are inferior. ”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Always remember that.
