Beauty


Can Beauty Be Constructed



            The term beauty is a very wide term; it can pertain to pretty much anything. But when it is applied to the human side it is a different story. Beauty cannot be constructed, as it is something that must come from us and is created, not constructed. We are who we are, and if we want to change ourselves we are not doing it for us, but for others who view us. Beauty is something that must come within us and we must accept ourselves for who we are before we can truly be happy and secure in our own skin. In the Ted Talk with Cameron Russell she talks about beauty, as a super model she is very knowledgeable on beauty. In the talk she tells the truth behind being a super model, they are some of the most insecure people. Always caring about how they look and appear to other people, when in actuality they should be concerned about how they look to themselves before trying to look good for others. One of the most amazing parts of the talk is when she is showing pictures of her self before big photo shoots. It shows her at the beach, at a sleep over, just being herself. Then she shows the shoots themselves, she has make up on, and she is not herself because all she is doing is trying to look good for others. Beauty is a very strange thing, it is strange because someone in this world will find us beautiful just the way we are. But going back to the original question, no beauty cannot be constructed, it can only be found within ourselves.

  1. Your essay should have paragraphs. Fix this.

    Andreas, I am concerned about your progress in class. Oftentimes, you're unprepared or you try to complete your essay in class, which by all accounts is unacceptable.

    Please do make the decision to represent yourself better by choosing to take yourself seriously by completing work on time. If you do not make the necessary changes to your work and time management skills, your C will turn into a D or worse. Fast.

    I want you to succeed, but you must want it too.
