    Contradictory to beauty of the world, the Bible also acknowledges the beauty of faith. However, I am going continue the two verses I used in the paragraph before: 1 Samuel 16:7b, 1 Peter 3:4. Earlier, I mentioned the context of 1 Samuel 16, along with God’s indicating to Samuel that, when looking for a king, the outward appearance and stature were not important. Extending off the first part of 1 Samuel 16:7, God tells Samuel the difference between what a man looks at and what God, himself, sees, “for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7b). Although God may be talking about what he wants in the new king in context, this verse is further more talking about the beauty of faith.…

    To me vanity is when you take pride to far and brag about your accomplishment, as a kid going to church I never understood the full meaning of the word “vanity” because I do not believe I had the mental grasp of the meaning but once I got older I began to understand what it meant.

Many people in this society have been persuaded over the course of 100 years that what makes someone beautiful is how clear their skin is or how clear someone can make their skin appear using cosmetic products. Unconsciously, America has fallen into the belief that clear skin, without acne, and flawless makeup is the constitution for self-confidence and success in life. This belief of beauty creates a dystopian lifestyle that will only cause long term problems as the definition of beauty is constantly evolving, along with new upcoming trends that are spawning all over social media Communities around the world are being consumers to what is fed all over media that…

    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.…
