Advantages of beauty contests........
FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LAST IMPRESSION...how a person appears always matters.....The first thing that catches your eye when you look at a person is his or her face.It takes just a split second for us to judge someone and make our first and everlasting impression.Good evening...today I stand in front of you to speak against the motion "beauty contest must be banned"....
Many cynical people say that beauty shows are nothing more than a showcase to flaunt women’s physical attributes. They may not be entirely true. In fact if you don't look good,may be you don't leave a good first impression. That is what beauty is. You need to look beautiful in this era where people are judgmental.
In my opinion, the advantage of pageants is empowerment because when you join beauty pageants you put yourself in a position to influence people. People look up to you, they listen and respect you. You serve as a role model especially to younger people and inspire others. Beauty contests have more advantages than disadvantages:
Firstly, they are a medium to get recognition. People feel valued and appreciated when they receive recognition for their hard work. Beauty Queens or Kings become instant celebrities and are treated like royalties in their respective countries!

Secondly, they help you build up self-confidence and confront your fears. The ability to face ones fears and take action anyway develops great confidence. Its common knowledge that speaking in front of a crowd gives people cold feet. Be it Q&A, interviews,discussions,conferences or even formal conversations!People are usually shy and reserved. By joining pageants, they are forced to break that shell and open up to the world.

Thirdly, beauty contests are a method of personal development. The more a person recognizes and understands their strengths, values, likes, dislikes, beliefs, and personality style, the greater fulfillment and satisfaction they’ll experience from their life.

And last but not the least,these contests help in handling stress, pressure and disappointment. These reactions are a part of life. Your attitude and thoughts around these reactions can either move you forward towards fulfillment or break you down. Stress, pressure and disappointment don’t have to be viewed as negative things. In fact, they can be powerful motivators to accelerate you to the next level. It all depends on how you look at them. In pageantry, you experience these to the fullest extent, and with guidance, you can learn how to flip them to work to your advantage.

Recognition, personal development, communication skills, confidence and handling stress, pressure and disappointments in life are the benefits you’ll take with you by taking part in beauty contests. After such notable benefits, do you still think beauty contests should be banned?? I leave the answer to you....Just remember if you fancy modeling, hair, makeup and fashion, then these merits come like icing to your cake!
