How do you respond to the arguments that have been made in this weeks reading?
- I agree and disagree with the arguments that we had this week. I agree that America seems to be all about looks, and that nothing else really matters. I think that is why we have so many issues in America is because we see all these women who have had plastic surgery or can afford to have a personal trainer, and that's not realistic for most people.
Is our popular culture healthy in regards to beauty?
-I think our culture doesn't really have the priorities straight when it comes to beauty. Its all about looks in our culture, and to me that isn't what beauty is all about.
Do we focus on physical appearance too much?
- I think we focus on appearance way too much. In some careers you may have a better chance if you are really pretty, even if the woman next you is just as qualified but not as pretty, in most cases the prettier person will get the job. I don't think that is how it should be. Beauty can be on the inside too, but in our culture many are only focused on appearance.
When you say in your first paragraph "I agree and disagree with the arguments," which arguments are you referring to with which you disagree? In your following statements, you seem to be writing about only those arguments that have come up with which you agree.
