Beauty should not be culturally relevant; it should be universal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the idea of the social construction of beauty - this idea that beauty is simply whatever culture or society says it is - is on the run. Of course, beauty does arise in a cultural context. No one ever denies that. But there's also a natural response people have to it.
Beauty is subjective and should not be limited to only what we see on the outside.
I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture.
It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality.
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
I think everybody should focus on inner beauty.
I think culturally, even if you just talk about it in context, the standard of beauty has not included women of color. Period. Not just black women. If you are not a certain thing, there has not been space for you.
Beauty has been democratised. No longer the preserve of movie stars and models but available to all. But while the invitation to beauty is welcomed, it has become not so much an option as an imperative.
There is a role and function for beauty in our time.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
