Hello everyone.
- 00:05 - 00:07
My name is Glynn joe vein and my presentation is
- 00:08 - 00:11
on beauty standards specifically should be a standard to be
- 00:11 - 00:19
more inclusive background information society beauty standards often what people
- 00:19 - 00:22
perceive to be attractive and that perception is often um
- 00:23 - 00:26
white, thin and fit people and that's meaning due to
- 00:26 - 00:29
the depictions that you see the media, that's the forefront
- 00:30 - 00:40
of television magazines, social media and more claim and support.
- 00:41 - 00:45
I definitely agree with being more inclusive in beauty.
- 00:46 - 00:50
Um there should be more the patients of race, ethnicity
- 00:52 - 00:53
and assorted body types.
- 00:53 - 00:56
When it comes to beauty, it shouldn't just be stuck
- 00:56 - 01:01
about one conventional description that I made in the previous
- 01:02 - 01:05
life. Um I believe that that would help people that
- 01:05 - 01:08
would help people love themselves and accept themselves.
- 01:08 - 01:10
That would definitely encourage those two things.
- 01:11 - 01:15
We do see some from time to time, we do
- 01:15 - 01:18
see some people of color, but even with them, you
- 01:18 - 01:24
mostly see thin and fit people and that's perfectly fine.
- 01:25 - 01:27
There's nothing wrong with being thin and fit, but there's
- 01:28 - 01:31
a people should also see plus sized people and everybody
- 01:31 - 01:34
in between because most of the time not everyone is
- 01:34 - 01:37
thin and fit, Most people don't fit that they're not,
- 01:38 - 01:41
they don't fit into that mold that they always see.
- 01:42 - 01:47
Some people just, I need to see themselves more and
- 01:48 - 01:50
you just need to see them of the average person
- 01:51 - 01:54
represented more and that's perfectly fine as well.
- 01:56 - 01:58
Next we have the beauty industry.
- 01:59 - 02:04
Okay, The beauty industry makes around $89.5 billion dollars in
- 02:04 - 02:05
revenue a year.
- 02:06 - 02:10
Um and that's only on regular things like cosmetics and
- 02:11 - 02:16
skincare, which is not counting for Cosmetic surgery, that itself
- 02:17 - 02:22
alone, it makes $50.67 billion dollars a year to year.
- 02:27 - 02:34
Um Next counter argument and reputation, some people can argue
- 02:35 - 02:40
that the potato beauty norms were meant to promote healthy
- 02:41 - 02:45
lifestyles and healthier lifestyles and stuff.
- 02:45 - 02:49
And it's people have also stated to argue with them
- 02:49 - 02:52
to argue with keeping beauty standards the way they are
- 02:53 - 02:56
that people who do adhere to the regular norms are
- 02:57 - 03:01
often have more options in terms of dating that's all
- 03:01 - 03:01
fine and well.
- 03:03 - 03:05
But regardless it doesn't take away from the fact that
- 03:07 - 03:10
it's caused many to feel depressed and anxiety.
- 03:10 - 03:13
It's caused self, it's caused it's been a detriment to
- 03:13 - 03:16
people's self image has been a detriment to their self
- 03:17 - 03:18
esteem and so forth as well.
- 03:18 - 03:22
Um It's caused many to change their looks drastically.
- 03:22 - 03:26
There's nothing wrong with getting surgery but for most people
- 03:26 - 03:28
who don't want to and feel and still feel trapped
- 03:29 - 03:34
in a sense for not looking like the standard, it's
- 03:35 - 03:35
not good for them.
- 03:37 - 03:41
Um in terms of surgery is perfectly it's do what
- 03:41 - 03:41
you please.
- 03:43 - 03:44
That has nothing to do with anything.
- 03:44 - 03:48
But you know that should still be more representation in
- 03:48 - 03:49
all the things that I just mentioned before.
- 03:50 - 03:54
Yeah. Okay.
- 03:55 - 04:00
Next. Yeah conclusion.
- 04:01 - 04:04
Um Yeah all in all society beauty norms should extend
- 04:05 - 04:05
this narrow narrative.
- 04:06 - 04:07
I definitely agree with it.
- 04:08 - 04:12
Um That should be representation and race and not in
- 04:12 - 04:17
race, more diverse ethnicities and definitely more assorted body types
- 04:17 - 04:21
and also even genders, even um gender expression.
- 04:22 - 04:23
You know L.
- 04:23 - 04:23
G. B.
- 04:23 - 04:24
T. Q.
- 04:24 - 04:28
A. It should definitely extend to just more than what
- 04:28 - 04:30
we always see on repeat.
- 04:31 - 04:33
It should just it should definitely extend to that.
- 04:34 - 04:37
And once that's done it would definitely promote self acceptance.
- 04:38 - 04:41
It would definitely help people see themselves in the media.
- 04:41 - 04:43
Then people should definitely see themselves represented.
- 04:44 - 04:45
And that's what we always see.
- 04:45 - 04:48
But plus size people should see it to um black
- 04:48 - 04:51
and um people of color should definitely see themselves represented
- 04:52 - 04:56
too. And many aspects, especially in this in this topic.
- 04:57 - 05:00
It should also um like I said it before, extend
- 05:01 - 05:05
to gender expression as an um for instance if you
- 05:05 - 05:07
are if you have the trans community, you should definitely
- 05:08 - 05:12
see yourself represented in that area area as well.
- 05:12 - 05:16
It shouldn't just be for that status quo.
- 05:17 - 05:21
If I'm making any sense to wrap it all up,
- 05:21 - 05:28
I definitely agree with extending, extending, extending that beauty student
- 05:28 - 05:28
should definitely be more inclusive.
- 05:29 - 05:30
I definitely agree with that.
- 05:31 - 05:34
And yes, thank you for listening everyone.
- 05:36 - 05:36
Bye!
