What
Is Beauty?
WARM-UP
Look at the following pictures and answer the
questions below.
A
B C
D E F
1. What do you think about the people in the
pictures above?
2. Which one do you
consider to be the most attractive? Why?
READING
If you had lived in Japan Japan China Europe ,
rich people didn’t have a tan. On the contrary, their skin was usually quite pale.
It was the poor who had darker skin because they had to work outdoors in the sun. As a consequence,
people at that time believed that pale skin was a symbol of wealth and beauty.
They would often cover up their bodies completely whenever they went out to
make sure that their skin stayed as fair
as possible.
What would these people of the past think of today’s image of “ideal” beauty—a skinny,
brown-skinned supermodel with bleached white teeth? They would probably
consider this person very ugly. The ideals of beauty are always changing,
especially in different times and cultures. However, one thing always remains
true: People want to be good-looking and attractive. In the past, people dyed
their teeth black, ate a lot to become fat, or covered up their bodies to
remain pale. Nowadays, people use
more extreme ways to follow the
trends toward “physical perfection.” In many countries, it is fashionable for
people to have dangerous surgery
done in order to change their appearance.
For example, some people have fat removed from their bodies, and others have
their eyes changed to make eyes look bigger. Still other people would rather
have a poison called Botox injected into their faces than have any wrinkles.
Today, being slim is considered beautiful, so many
people would rather starve than gain any “extra” weight. However, being too
skinny is not healthy. Instead of eating a balanced
diet, starving to achieve some “ideal” weight can actually make a person sick.
Tanned skin is also popular these days. Nevertheless, the greater exposure to the sun people get, the
higher risk of cancer they will have.
So, let’s pause
and think for a minute: Is our appearance really that important? According to a
survey of the Maasai tribe in Kenya
Each person in
the world is one of a kind. Taking pride in
your appearance is a way of showing that you like the way you look and that you
have respect for yourself. Next time, when people ask you if you are satisfied
with your appearance, what will your answer be?

T: Actually, I don’t think she’s very attractive.
J: Why? She’s so tall and thin, just like a supermodel!
T: In my opinion, she’s too skinny. It’s simply not natural for girls to
look like that.
J: Um, I think her big eyes look very nice, too.
T: But they look blank, and this makes her appear to be very low-spirited.
J: Well, then. What is your image of ideal beauty?
T: For me, I don’t care much about outer beauty. I prefer to look at the “inside.”
J: What do you mean by that?
T: I think real beauty goes beyond physical appearance. If a person is kindhearted, then that person is
attractive to me.
J: So you’re saying a person with a good heart can
be called beautiful even if he or she is not physically attractive?
T: That’s right. Actually, we should never judge a person only by his or her appearance.
