appearance and hard work.

influences us in forming our body image.

are not only biological but also cultural, we
shape and manipulate our bodies.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEAUTY
• The importance of BEAUTY is derived in the premise that it is
the face that we become aware of when we encounter
people.
• Both men and women, although women appear to be more
conscious of their beauty, taking extra effort, time and money
to enhance their appearance just to meet the beauty
standards that modern society seem to promote.
Conclusion
• BEAUTY or BEING BEAUTIFUL is a
concept that we automatically
attached to the body. The society’s
standards of beauty sometimes
contribute to the development of a
person’s unhealthy body image or
incapacitating beliefs.
