    This essay will summarize Susan Sontag’s ideas concerning how beauty is seen in today’s modern culture and the consequences that these views have toward women, by using Susan Sontag’s vivid examples and definitions found in both “A Woman’s Beauty: Put-Down or Power Source” and “An Argument About Beauty”. Next, I will argue in support of most of her key points; however, I will also argue against some of the points presented in the essay. For example, I agree with her assertion that in todays modern culture women’s beauty is seen as parts and not as a whole and the effects of this distorted perspective. However, I disagree with her on how she believes that things will get better and how she blames Christianity for fostering one of the distorted perspectives of women’s beauty. Susan Sontag brings about a lot of key points that we as Christians should understand so as to bring about a better attitude and view towards women and beauty.…
