Beauty???

    Beauty...  what do we as a society perceive as beautiful? I really thought that the dove video we saw in class hit the nail on the head. Are view of beauty is distorted by all these images of what is beautiful and what is not. I thought this was a new thing and in the past they didn't have to worry about self image, but nope it was just as bad as it is now. Except back then they had to aspire to the beauty of the GOD'S...  yeah i know talk about setting the bar high. There were the few that didn't necessary think this was true like Aristotle he believed in real objects like art. Keats believed that beauty was all we need to know. And thouse are good ideas be i like the old saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" it's kinda corny but true.

  1. very true, i had the same thoughts about the lecture. basically we can't reach what everyone's perspective of "beauty" is because its too perfect in a sense. its like trying to count to infinity, you can't ever really reach it.
