My assumptions: based on my opinion before carrying

out the research:

My Initial thoughts about Beauty:

1. The media may have an impact on perceptions, but

depending on how much you allow this to intervene
with your life is based mainly on age and maturity.

2. The pressure of conformity in a western society is on

the rise and will remain so.

3. Beauty is followed and taught in a passive way.

- We do not think to question it, as the Idealistic beauty
is automatically an ACCEPTED aspect to our society

4. Grooming and appearance does impact our lives:

- Employment- (modelling – highly paid ambition,
Beauty therapists)
- Dress scene- (Where does our fashion scene come
from? Why do we maintain our appearance? -
Is it for the receiver or the individual?)
- Class- (differentiates somebody’s beauty)
- Health Problems- (mental disorders, physical
problems)
- Celebrations- (Funerals, Weddings, Graduation-
specific way to look)

When this is not the norm, it is usually questioned –

Nowadays we already have set expectations that lie on
the basis of the western society we live in.

E.g. – weddings are expected to me glamorous, if a man and

women wanted to get married wearing bikinis having not
 shaved or bathed for the past 4 months and symbolise there
love my drawing a love heart on the pavement (in replacement
of a ring) – society would automatically frown upon this. It is
not the norm and does not meet our perceptive expectations.

My Own theory:

Although it is important to take other social

aspects into account when judging possible future
outcomes, the scientifically proven balance of
symmetrical beauty founded in history as well as
the contemporary will properly remain so in the
future.
Where as the idealistic beauty is expected to and
will change with time, this is because the
idealistic beauty is heavily linked in the media
and its forever changing implemented view on
female attractiveness.
Although I do strongly believe that the idealistic
beauty is a reversible feature to our society.
