Perception of beauty is different in different cultures around the world. There is a lot of history behind why people want to look different ways and it’s often that we want what we don’t have. These are some different ways cultures define women's beauty.Korea India

Maori #3

Both men and women of the Maori tribe have long imprinted their face with swirling tattoos called Ta moko. Most high-ranking people in New Zealand’s indigenous tribe received moko before the Europeans arrived in the country, and it was considered an important milestone between childhood and adulthood. Today many Maori tribes have modernised and moved into cities and towns although few tribes remain and some people still have Ta moko.

United Kingdom #6

In comparison to America, women of the United Kingdom have a far more natural look with minimal makeup and and elegant figure instead of a curvy body with voluptuous ‘assets’. British models are usually toned, slim and tall again with basic makeup. With the UK being more of a cloudy place, fake tans have recently become popular within the masses.

#9 She says, girls who don't finish the fattening meals are punished. One method, is to tie a girl's toes to sticks and if she does not eat, pressure is applied to the sticks sending shockwaves of pain through the girl's feet."My mother started fattening me forcibly when I was 13. She used to beat me to eat more oiled couscous and fat lamb's meat. Each time I thought my stomach would explode,". she told CNN that she will never fatten her daughter "whatever the reason."

Punishments at school for him are time out, losing computer privileges and talking to the principal. “I started going to school when I was 5 years old, we learned to read and write but we weren't forced to in any way. I would definitely sent my kids to school” Jude recalls

#11 As you can see these kids two lives are very different.Before and afterEsther Honig, a freelance journalist, sent an unaltered photograph of herself to more than 40 Photoshop freelancers around the world. “Make me beautiful,” she said, hoping to bring to light how standards of beauty differ across various cultures. The project was called before and and after.

#12 This is our stereotypical perception of beauty; slim white ladies with perfect hair, skin and makeup. DefinitionBeauty is impossible to define because it differs from place to place and what is considered attractive in one country may be undesirable in another. There is no single definition of beauty yet people may strive to achieve an “ideal” beauty look within a culture/country.

#13 This constructed “ideal” is usually a result of influence by media, society (common practices and beliefs) and what marketers want you to believe so they can sell a product. Accordingly when examining beauty throughout the world, it isn’t defined by an exact look, shape, size, colour, or age.

3 key understandings #14

First of all, Culture is diverse and multifaceted. This is basically what my whole report is about, culture’s all have different definitions and ‘ideals’ of beauty.

#15 Beauty traditions are passed down through generations and by word of mouth or ancient law and tradition. These are often shared with any visitors or tourist in their land or village, such as in Rachel Hunters Tour Of Beauty; she traveled around asking people what beauty was in their culture and they shared their knowledge with her.

#16 finally, knowing that all different cultures have different standards and definitions of beauty, young girls from nz and around the world may feel more satisfied with their appearance; eg. if Ballerina had a large gap between her teeth and she found out that that was extremely beautiful in kenya and felt better about herself and respected people from Kenya more and maybe even traveled there to learn more about their culture.

#17 In our school we have cultural diversity in food, events and of course beauty or appearance. We have different skin, hair and eye colours, wear different clothes on mufti days and have lots of ways that we can show everyone our culture.
