Standard of Beauty - Book Report/Review Example

Venakata charan kantumuchu and number 3 may Standard of Beauty To begin with, each of us have a different and definite perception of beauty and especially when it comes to women probably no two people would have the same view. I personally, however feel that a woman with beautiful hair and striking features like lovely eyes and sharp nose and beautiful rosy lips would be everyone’s favorite. But a woman’s navel no doubt would be the cynosure and bouncy breasts would leave no heads unturned.

But if beauty has to be considered truly, then I would go with the soul beauty than the physical appearance. This outer look would diminish with time and wither at some point, but the internal beauty stays until one dies and also would still be alive, for internal beauty is eternal. Unfortunately people these days concentrate on stylish women and consider style synonymous to beauty. This is one big reason today, we find women sporting new styles too often and would not put on the same look for a long time.

Though some women sport a stylish look, they actually do not look beautiful and there are certainly many reasons for this to happen. One probable reason could be the “unwanted” look which they inevitably put on. Beauty is obvious, when people try to be themselves and let nature mould them, but many people go against the grain and tend to look either younger or elder which would end them up looking ugly. “A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful” (Beauty).

As poets and wise men say, beautiful women are always a feast to men’s eyes and it is always a pleasure to watch a woman walk with gait. This conception though is accepted everywhere, people look at women in different ways and each of them have their own elements of beauty. But though we are all from the same era, we may see beauty of women differently depending on the culture that we are brought up in and the people around us. For instance, people from Asian countries like India, would love to see women dressed completely in attire like sari, which actually shows up the woman’s best sex appealing portions like the waist and navel and a peep into their blouse with their beautiful breasts and the lovely cleavage would leave the Indian men awed.

This typically may not sound interesting to people from other regions, because they have their own dressing style and would love to see them that way. An American would like to see a woman dressed in their own style and sporting a typical American look, which on the other hand may not be so appealing to the people of other regions. But no matter from which region and which era, women always stand first in the list of beauty of nature, that strike our mind. A pleasant smiling beautiful woman is a true thing of joy and this cannot be replaced by any other beauty in this world.

It is because of that eternal beauty, we talk about Cleopatra today and many other women who have been the icons for beauty and would continue to be the icons of beauty, for people may die but not beauty. To finish with, all of us have to admit that world without beautiful women would be mere chaos because, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever” (John Keats), and so are beautiful women.
