Now if I'm going to bore you with the essay that I write, is rather long (perhaps too) but if they ask me what I can be divided into two parts:
Beauty is such an abstract concept that all cultures have modified at will or at least, have come to see from different points of view. Precisely because of this abstraction is that it is so difficult to define. The closest thing to a definition that can be obtained from the beauty would be something like the harmony of an object or a set of qualities that are pleasing to the senses.
From the angle you see the beauty every day takes a more important role in the world. It always has been, from emerged, the man has shown his desire to create things that had no other aim than to decorate and that eventually justified giving them an offering to the gods. Thus, so far in history, we can admit that humans have always felt fascinated by the beautiful. Although largely depend on what each person qualifies as such, one thing is certain: All the beauty distinguish.
The world we live in a world of marketing, a capitalist world in which every activity is geared towards profit. The problem is not at this point, sell, but the action that is attached to it; buy. Eat out of necessity, but this is not always real. Sometimes We create "needs" completely invented by us, such as cell phones, computers, or (though it seems incredible) TV. These needs are largely created the fruit of advertising, which shows models of a "perfect society." Idea that however much we strive to reject we recorded in the unconscious since childhood. A good example of this is the Barbie dolls that represent the stereotype of the perfect woman has big house, fast cars, kilos of clothing that is fashionable and, of course, is nice, smiling and very thin. All these features give us assume that the person is successful that has all the above and more.
what has to do with the reason for this trial?
The above idea we introduce the theory that the perception people have of a beautiful person is inculcated by society and culture that develops the individual, however, has found that, in part, human beauty is a concept created by instinct.
Being the only animals with the use of reason and possessors of free will does not separate us from our survival reflexes, and although the global overpopulation tell us that we do not need to make our species endures, we are fools with the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving children. And this instinct that makes us speak in a way to choose the "specimen" of the opposite sex more appropriate for them. that's where comes the instinctive side of beauty. Someone beautiful indicates health, fertility and youth, the best characteristics for the perpetuation of the species.
Is it then the concept of beauty imposed by the society in which we live, or is just a derivative of our survival instincts?
as qualified beauty can not only be defined by the environment in which we live or our instincts. so it is possible to say at this point that beauty is subjective, instinctive and socially shaped.
One of the ethical dilemmas involving beauty is based on the question of whether it is fair (I mean fairly equal conditions among people who have and have-nots "Beauty"). Anyone
idealist would argue that what is truly important is the inner beauty of a person "but what I refer to as" beauty "in the question posed is the group of genetic qualities that a person acquires the moment of fertilization. And, regrettable as it may seem genetically lucky individuals are considered more friendly people, get better jobs and more easily find partners. Aristotle
you have ever referred to beauty as a "tyranny of short duration" referring to the unjust and the transience of human beauty. What
both ourselves have influenced our concept of beauty? How general pede be this concept?
Beauty standards have varied over time, cultures and each of the individuals, so it will remain an abstract concept and a different definition for each person.
