The question I want to use for my essay is, “What can be classified as beauty?” I feel as though in modern society there are many different examples of beauty being something thats near impossible to define. Almost any person you ask will tell you a different way of standardizing what they consider beautiful. Because of this huge discrepancy, many people have tried creating a definition for what is beautiful. With all these attempts and different ways to identify beauty, which is right? I argue that every method and idea is right. I believe that everyone has an entirely different definition and view of what is beautiful and that’s okay. The first example introduced in the National Geographic article was a Vogue worker who was trying to find new girls to be models. This worker had said that beauty was a hard thing to describe and wasn’t really sure what she knew was beautiful. She said she just had a feeling when she met an applicant that met her criteria. Another example was a scientist who looked at facial recognition and proposed that the more symmetrical a face, generally the more appealing it will be to others. There are certain characteristics that humans find attractive and beautiful. While this is accurate, it is not necessarily the full case. Many things are beautiful even if they defy the trends that normally mean beauty. Also many things that aren’t people like environments, objects, memories etc can be very beautiful. Beauty isn’t limited to just strictly people and how they look. I would argue that this scientific breakdown of beauty is mores just one aspect of beauty. One of the podcasts I chose as an example in my essay was a father describing how a hockey team winning a game was his most favorite memory of beauty. Hockey of all things is a very violent and harsh sport that is often purely watched for entertainment. While his definition of beauty is extremely unconventionally it is objectively correct. You can’t say that his definition/example is wrong or bad because his example is beautiful to him exclusively. This is why   I propose beauty can’t be. specifically defined, because it is something entirely dependent on the viewer. Beauty is something completely different from person to person. This is why I say that there is no real way to define beauty. Beauty is something that is entirely objective and it should be .  Beauty is defined as a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight. This definition becomes variable because what pleases every person is different. While you can break it down by saying certain things that please all humans would technically be beautiful to everyone. This is technically true but not everyone would regard something that pleases them as beautiful. To conclude, beauty is something that is incredibly hard to define and therefore is different for everyone. Basically anything can beautiful.
