Beyond the Text
What Is Beauty?
We agree with one another that beauty is an attitude towards people and life. In other words, people who are friendly to others or do their jobs enthusiastically are beautiful. A warm smile and sincerity are much more attractive than the most expensive makeup and clothes to decorate oneself. Optimism and brightness work much better than luxurious accessories. Clothes, whether fancy or plain, won’t last forever and are unable to show people’s true personalities. It’s inner beauty that counts. As long as people treat others with care and compassion, they will be loved. When you are willing to help the needy, you can be very beautiful. In fact, we think of a volunteer and an anonymous donor as the two most beautiful types of people in the world.
Healthy Beauty in Fashion
The Madrid Fashion Week, one of Spain’s most celebrated fashion shows, did not allow models who have a BMI of less than 18 to take part in the show. BMI stands for “body mass index,” and it is a calculation of the amount of fat in someone’s body. Health experts from the United Nations say that people should have a BMI between 18.5 and 25. However, some models have a BMI far below 18.5. Therefore, the Spanish Association of Fashion Designers decided to say no to skinny models. The association, in response to local government pressure, agreed to use a normal BMI as a requirement for those who wanted to take part in the event. The association believed that up to 30 percent of the would-be fashion-show models might fail this test, and the designers agreed to provide extremely thin models with medical treatment.
At first, the director of the Madrid Fashion Show, Leonor Perez Pita, thought that this rule
might be shocking to the fashion world. However, he believed that it’s very important as far as health is concerned. In addition, Madrid’s local government officials believe that the fashion world is a mirror and that many teenagers imitate what they see at such shows. The government wants to create a healthier, positive image of beauty for teenagers to follow.
Writing Hands-on
Persuasive Writing
I don’t agree with the saying, “Beauty is only skin deep.” There is astereotype that beautiful people are usually dumber. However, according to arecent research conducted by the London School of Economics, beautifulpeople are actually likely to be more intelligent. In the study, men regarded ashandsome have IQs 13.6 higher than the average, while beautiful womenhave IQs 11.4 points above the average. The study indicates that this outcomemost likely occurs as a result of the fact that both intelligence and physicalattractiveness are inherited. Beautiful people tend to marry each other, andtheir children inherit their beauty and intelligence. Therefore, the saying, “Beauty is only skin deep,” may no longer be so true because beautifulpeople today seem to have both attractive appearances and high IQs.
