Articles

1. Respond to both articles discussing your thoughts. Be detailed and use at least 1 direct quote from the article in your response.

This article was about the people’s different perspectives of beauty. How people in different places do looking more beautiful in the outside. The most interesting quote I read in this article was "Perceptions of basic facial attractiveness, for their part, do not appear to have changed dramatically down the centuries, unlike the ideal body mass” I thought that this was interesting because it is very true. The American woman’s care mostly about the weight of their body. meaning being thin and having a nice shape. Others get over obsess with food or love the outside beauty. We just need to provoke that doesn’t get to a big extreme because both are not a good perspective of beauty.

2. Evaluate your class' seminar discussions. Be specific in discussing what you learned, what interesting points were made, what you think about those ideas proposed during seminar?

We had all these different points of view during the discussion of our seminar, I agree with all of these points. We discussed about the beauty, health, and inner beauty and how can we make media changed in the way that media is so advanced. One of the big points we were to have in our seminar that was brought up is how media is all over the TV commercials, and not just there but out in the streets outside and around you. We are so used to it that we don’t seem to noticed and that’s what we cover going back to our article because media is the one that brings all these things out and how is trying to globalize. A good point that we brought up was how to stop media from doing this but, not being able to stop media right away because it will be impossible.
In the second article we brought many good points, that sometimes I agreed and sometimes I did not but article two was more about how many Americans carrying about their outside beauty and how normal it is now. Mostly woman are the ones that began getting over abused with the issue of combining health with beauty. My perspective from this point was that woman can carry on their size body and want to be thin enough and leave health to the side which is not good because health is really important.
