Define Beauty

               Definition of beauty depends on what kind of beauty it is. Beauty may be referred to the inner beauty or the outer beauty. Outer beauty represents the attractiveness of a person. The person does not necessary have to look beautiful to be attractive. Their cuteness might be the source of their attraction. As long as people find the person attractive, I think they qualify for the word “beauty”.

               The thing about beauty is that it does not necessarily have to be intrinsic. Beauty is the word girls want themselves to be described as. Because not everyone is not born beautiful, some will try to change their outer appearance by makeup or even plastic surgery.  The amount of money women spend for beauty is tremendous. Every day, women put on makeup to hide their real look. They put on eyeliners and mascara to make their eyes look bigger and more attractive and put on lipstick or lip gloss. When they are not satisfied with how their face looks even with makeup, they perform plastic surgery on their face to make permanent change. It costs thousands of dollars, and some may say that it is waste of money. It really is kind of costly, but I think that it’s worth it if the person can be satisfied with their face. It’s the person putting their own money to change their face anyways. Some will try to change their looks even though they look beautiful just because they are not satisfied with it. Some are born attractive, but they are continuously discouraged by others. Some are the opposite. They are lauded by others for their beauty and this contaminates their inner beauty. I think that they beauty is the right word for a person who both has outer beauty and the inner beauty.

               Inner beauty is maintaining their true nature. As kids grow, they are affected greatly by their milieu. It may be their parents or their friends who influence them. It may have a positive effect on them or even a negative effect. Everyone is born nice. This is what I believe, and I think the hardest task the humans are given is to maintain the nature they were born with. This is a very difficult task although it might not seem like a very difficult one.  As kids grow, their mind will be continuously contaminated by others. If they are able to maintain their true nature, then they will be suitable for the word “inner beauty”.

               Some countries seem to provide the standards for beauty. Korea is one of them. Many celebrities on TV exemplify as a paragon. Koreans look upon them as idols and try to become like them. To look more like them, they will waste thousands of money to become like them. I think that this is where the word outer beauty does not fit. When everyone becomes the same, would it really mean beauty? If you actually go to Korea, you will see people with same hairstyle and fashion. Sometimes, if you go to certain places, you will realize that they all look alike. After losing their own characteristic look, I don’t think that they can ever qualify for the word beauty again.
