Beauty is a strong word that could be defined in many possible ways. Not only can we say that a person is beautiful, but also nature could qualify as beauty and many other things. Beauty for me is anything that attracts my attention in any way. Though, beauty doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. For some people beauty is only physical beauty for others is nature, for other beauty is only in paintings but at the end everyone has one thing in common, we all value beauty. Beauty could be find anywhere in this world. What I qualify beauty as is inner and outside beauty in people. Also nature, when I see those really green grass makes them look beautiful or when it’s snowing up in the mountains it graves my attention. Colorful things as paintings or any other colorful things that grab my attention even if they are weird I will qualify them as beauty. Mainly everything is beauty including feelings. Feelings are beauty because they express many things and you could express them by writing, painting, drawing, talking them out, or any other creative way. I could continue going on describing what beauty actually means to me but many people in this world would disagree or maybe agree with me regarding what beauty stands for. And it’s valid that everyone has a different opinion about beauty. I value beauty a lot because for me is what we see more in this world.
What society describes beauty as is “by the color of our skin, our eyes, our shape, and our appearance." Is beauty really as society qualifies it as? According to an article on the web page "na-klectic" what beauty really stands for is "beauty is not created by facial and body alterations or based upon cosmetics, clothing etc. Beauty is a gift from God" What this article is trying to say that beauty is a gift from God is LIFE. Life is the most beautiful thing that has ever happen to anyone in this world not only people but as

    The common physical beauty is what Elaine Scarry called “a symmetry of everyone’s relation to one another” in her book called On Beauty and Being Just (1999). This means that beautiful subjects or objects are evenly proportioned and ideal in all their forms. In other words, if symmetry is perfection, then beauty is perfection too. At the same time, as absolute symmetry does not exist- beauty is a divine feature of “chosen”. Meanwhile, I have my own interpretation of physical beauty. This is the idea of beauty that is not just a physical appearance of a person or object. This is the universal “beauty” I was talking about in the introduction of the paper. In my opinion, physical beauty that relates to the beauty of objects or subjects…

    The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines beauty as, “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.” After watching the many different video clips and also looking at this dictionary definition, I would have to say I agree closer more with the dictionary definition. Looking back on the different video clips, I think the one that stood out most to me was the film clip of the movie Summer Magic. After the clip was over, I caught myself being very unpleased with the message. I couldn’t believe that this movie was trying to tell girls that if…

    Just like a woman's body nourishes her children, beauty nourishes the soul. C.S. Lewis said it this way, "We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words-to be United with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive into ourselves." (The Weight Of Glory)11 Beauty comforts. Beauty brings healing, that’s why we send flowers or other beautiful things to the doleful. It brings comfort. Beauty inspires. Have you ever wondered about what it would be like to be in the presence of a woman like mother Teresa? Her life was filled with beauty, she's inspired so many to live better lives. Lastly, beauty is transcendent. Beauty puts a longing into us for an Eden we have not known. Beauty says, There is a glory calling to you. 12 If there is a glory, then there must be something or someone who created that glory. So, beauty draws us to God, the glory maker.…

    What is beauty? Beauty, by definition, is, “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit” (Merriam-Webster). Throughout her life, Lucy Grealy struggles with her own definition of beauty. To her, beauty equals happiness. As a cancer patient, she underwent many surgeries which left her with a disfigured face. Since she did not think she was beautiful, she was not happy, or rather, she would not allow herself to be happy. “I didn’t deserve it, and thus I shouldn’t want it. She blames all of her unhappiness and misfortune on the way her face looks, when in reality, she is causing herself to be unhappy by dwelling on the negative aspects of her life. She says,…

    Everyone has their own opinions on what beauty consists of. It is in cliché expression “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This means beauty can come from within a person’s soul or from the outside of looking at woman’s body. As it just happened, saying the word “beauty” on most occasions comes hand in hand with the word woman. In the story “A Woman’s Beauty: Put – Down or Power Source” by Susan Sontag. Sontag states; “To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns. (In contrast to men whose essence is to be strong or effective, or competent.)” (Sontag.488.1) The word beautiful may not seem synonymous with men in 2015 but handsome is, as the word “handsome” feels more masculine.…
