While watching the videos today that talked about beauty I realized a few things. Those videos that showed the women getting plastic surgery made me feel sick. Not because they were getting plastic surgery, but because society has told women how they have to look. The video of the girls picture getting photoshopped was terrible. I don't think that there is an objective beauty. Much like the beauty of a rose, the beauty is in the authenticity of it. Women are beautiful the way they are and they don't need to succumb to the pressures of what others tell them they should be like. I think that beauty is subjective. A person or an object is not beautiful because it has no flaws. Everything has flaws. To try and distort that view would be wrong. When a persons picture (could be a man or a woman) is changed to make them look skinnier than people normally are is changing the person in the picture from a human to... Something else!
When Glenn showed us the pictures of the women, most people chose the painting of Venus as the most beautiful. I think this is because the painting looks like a woman. It wasn't distorted. Just an authentic picture of what a woman really looks like.
