BEAUTY STANDARDS THROUGHOUT CULTURE
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
BEAUTY STANDARDS THROUGHOUT CULTURE
Throughout cultures around the world, beauty standards have always been a fascinating topic. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, each culture has its unique perception of beauty. Whether it's the hourglass figure in Western cultures or the fair and flawless skin in some Asian cultures, these standards often reflect the values, traditions, and ideals of a particular society.
In many cultures, beauty standards are closely tied to the idea of marriage, especially for women. There is often a lot of pressure for them to follow these standards to increase their chances of finding a partner. This pressure can stem from traditional beliefs that parents may still hold onto, which can negatively impact their children's self-esteem and make them feel bad. The expectation to meet these beauty standards can create a sense of not being good enough as individuals strive to fit into societal expectations.
A woman's ideal figure differs depending on the country's culture. Tiny models are more popular in magazines in the United States, but in other countries, the women who appear in American publications are not considered beautiful. While some people believe that a slim woman is better, other cultures believe that women must be plump to be deemed beautiful.
Korea, in particular, has the most diverse beauty standards, as well as the ideal slender form observed throughout Eastern Asia. A pale complexion has long been associated with higher social rank, as has double eyelid surgery, which dates back to the nineteenth century.
Cultural diversity and globalization have brought about increased exposure to different beauty standards. As a result of societal standards, people will never be good enough for its massive expectations but acceptance of ourselves is the most beautiful type of beauty. Instead of changing our compilations, we should represent our culture in a way that embraces it.
