Second Summary; Subjective vs Objective Beauty

brief factual summary of the subject

Then here is the argument of Beauty again in which case both sides have a stronger pull than ever before. Is beauty objective or Subjective? Male forms, still very significant and way more detailed than the other subjects seemly look too perfect. It is a logical expectation that, if civilizations were then in any way closer to realisitic, then humans could not have look any perfect than they look now if not with worst case of escenario considering the lack current technology and medicine. Mortality was probably even less so then, so there were even fewer people who could represent the perfection of beauty. Likely this was a clue as to how clearly define the topic was if what humans were concern was with health and physical condictions. Still that is, if beauty was an Object well and naturally accepted as such by all sentient beings. But then again, there was religion and we all agree that if one person is religious, the most beautiful entity is their god or gods. Beauty could in its most basic ways, be defined as an experience; one most experience several things to then define something as beautiful. Maybe the idea of athlete men being beautiful could all be related to the experience of strength, victory, dexterity and power, while woman could at their healthiest be appreciate as the best mothers when medicine was fairly lacking or maybe carriers from 'beautiful '

    By definition of middle schoolers, to be beautiful means that someone is physically attractive and enticing, but it also means that a person is content with who they are.

By basing the worth of women only on their beauty, it downgrades the fact that women can be other things as well, such as intelligent and powerful. Overall, equating a woman’s worth to her physical appearance teaches society to only look…
