Fostering Goals:

Going through a the experience of a beauty pageant can help you to go for other things you want and help push you forward.

Skills Gained:

participating in beauty pageants can teach skills used in every day life, such as communication and confidence. When applying for a job or being in a meeting with your boss they will overlook those who lack communication skills and who don't believe in themselves. Joining a pageant and speaking in front of a room full of people, being judged on how well you deliver your point can and will make your speaking more effective.

Beauty pageants are not just about showing up and looking pretty. There is tons of hard work and preparation that goes into competing.

The discipline taught from developing a talent, being able to articulate your opininon, and maintaining a figure can take one far in life

Discipline

Beauty Contests

Beauty Contests have posed controversy for their emphasis on external beauty but do they play a necessary role in society?

Beauty Pageants are beneficial to society because they supply contestants with necessities such as communication and confidence, they foster goals, and teach discipline.

Counter Argument:

Sites Used:

People tend to focus on the negatives of pageants because on the surface it seems to explicitly emphasize external beauty, claiming that losing can cause feelings of depression and provoke a loss of self esteem. However, this result of said depression can be seen all throughout sports. It is the feeling of letting yourself down after you have invested in reaching a goal which is healthy. These feelings are not directly/only related to losing a pageant. They can also be the results of under performing in sports or even school.
