<p>Should we be influenced by others’ perceptions of beauty of people or things?</p>
<p>Society is built on a collaboration of many people. Society has learned to exchange materials as well as ideas. Also, one of the most notable of human abilities is our ability to learn and adapt. So, then why should not let other’s opinion effect our sense beauty. Due to the philosophy of exchanging ideas as well as the many benefits, one should allow outside opinions affect his or her idea of beauty.</p>
<p>“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” This, rather, overused maxim is fairly true. However, if one stops to think, one would notice that most our views on beauty are very proximate. For example, how is it that there are beauty pageants if each our perspectives on beauty are different? Why are there models who are exalted for their mesmerizing splendor if the idea of beauty is different for each individual? Also, it is only fair that if we have the opportunity to deem one beautiful or not, that we be able to take the same criticism in return. Give and take is a simple philosophy that should be heeded to if one should give a belief.</p>
<p>Moreover, there are numerous advantages into acquiescing to popular sense. By accepting the beliefs of the society, one will be embraced more by that society. An example would be the so-called popular kids in school. By agreeing to intake the ideas of that sect, the constituents of this group were able to appeal themselves to the rest as the hierarchy in the microcosm of teens. This particular design could also be seen in the real world. Once again going back to the beauty pageants, the victors of the more prestigious contests, such as Miss Universe or Miss World, are exalted into international spotlight in an instant. For many of them, countless life paths open at a single instantaneous moment. By assenting to societys view of beauty, these women become world idols.</p>
<p>If beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, then so is law. With this idea, there would be no rest and peace in the world. There must an exemplar to base an idea on and beauty is just the same. Others might refute that one would be sacrificing their self if he or she complies with the demands on society, but how different is that for the laws that are passed upon us. Beauty and ugly are just two views that society has branded into the dictionary to divide the huge mass that populates Earth. Ideals change and so does that meaning of beauty, but until then one should just obey the view or be considered an iconoclastic.</p>
