Question

Women around the world are running after beauty

According to a new study, women around the world are tormented by the narrow beauty ideals dominating popular culture. Seems beauty's elusiveness is a global phenomenon with few females feeling the power or pride of beauty. Ideal body weight and shape have fluctuated throughout history. Women feel that physical attractiveness has become an essential attribute defined by striking features and sexy proportions, and almost impossible to attain. Yet it is this ideal that many women measure themselves against and aspire to attain.

Today, popular icons of beauty are found in music videos and on commercial television. Large bust size and round, but not excessively large, posteriors are emphasized, for example. Only the minority of women see themselves as above average in appearance, and only 2% consider themselves beautiful .To help the average woman achieve this look, a variety of products have become available, and this makes possible for pursuing that ideal appearance lies in the development of techniques and technologies of cosmetic surgery. As plastic esthetic becomes more widely available and affordable, more and more women, as well as men — in pursuit of an emerging global beauty standard — are choosing to go under the knife or for the recent popularity of noninvasive surgery. Consequently, an esthetic trend of blending ethnic features into seamless, ambiguous form has been growing rapidly and transforming cultures around the world.
