Introduction
To the intelligent man with an interest in human nature it must often appear
strange that so much of the energy of the scientific world has been spent on the
study of the body and so little on the study of the mind.
Edward Thorndike

So, why people dont appreciate their beauty given by God ? What can we do
to be Perfect? How often others criticize us by the exterior ?
I believe that beauty, in part, has to do with a sense of order, an aesthetic order.
Thats way exterior Beauty is special at every person. Everybody is different. We
differ by eyes, hair, smile, taste of clothing, behavior. Nobody is perfect. All people
have good qualities, but also the defects in beauty. Some of them think that Beauty
isnt principle, but its not true, because beauty plays an important role in their life.
Beauty helps us to commit to a particular profession, to find love, to create a
family. All people are beautiful in their own way.
Is Beauty an Art ?
If we look around attentively, we'll see that beauty can be found everywhere: in
the sky, in the sun, in flowers, in people, in buildings, in music etc. For example, a
sunset is beautiful because it is so striking, so colorful and it is one of the few
times when we can glance at the suns brilliance directly. Art can provide a
doorway or a window. One of the most powerful aspects of art, is that many
viewers come to an art from with an openness, a willingness to find beauty.
Beauty is really an art, because every man is an art himself .

Part I. Why is beauty so important for our career?

A career is wonderful because of beauty, but you can't curl up with it on a
cold night
Marilyn Monroe
1.1 The term Beauty
Beauty is defined by a combination of qualities present in a thing or person. The
term beauty is subjective to each and every person.

Beauty can define a persons heart and personality; it can describe an inspiring
view, or it can explain a persons actions. A person can be beautiful just from the
way they act towards others or the way they go about their daily lives. True beauty,
or inner beauty, is seen with the heart not by the eyes. The viewer is allowed to see
what society wants people to think about beauty ,truly being to catch a glimpse of
what beauty means in its simplest term.

1.2 Beauty in our life.

Part II. Beauty along the centuries.

Close your eyes and see the beauty.
With evolution of the world the concepts of beauty evolved a lot. Many years
ago, when the first progresse was made, to be beautiful was enough to be a woman,
spite of your weight, height or age. With years, the idea that to be beautiful is
enough to be a woman, disappeared, but appeared the idea that you should have a

perfect figure. Nowadays, a perfect body requires sacrifices, and if you're not one
of the girls with a perfect body you are pressed by majority of people around you.
Living in 21st century, its visible that every girl without a perfect body is
criticized and pressed, so appeared the idea that a girl should have a Perfect body.
Extra pounds are a shame for girls, thats why many of them today are trying to
keep a perfect body.
Researching previous mentality,books and opinions of old people, we'll find that
people's desire to evolve and to change something in their lives brought the idea to
have a perfect body.

Part III. What is more important: inner beauty or outer beauty?

To be loved by others, you must, firstly, love yourself.

The most important thing in our life is our personal opinion about us or our
self-confidence.

Part IV. Fighting for your health, youll fight for your body.
A sound mind, in a sound body.

4.1 Health and our bodies

The most precious thing in our life we should care about is our health, because
having health you can consider that you have all: money, necessary things,
especially a perfect body. Caring of yourself and trying to have a good mood of
life, there are 99,9% that youd not have extra pounds or problems with your
health.
Many girls believe that loosing in weight they will have a perfect body.
Erroneous! Doctors and specialists in health mention that a perfect body needs a
good mood of life, healthy food, regular exercises and a set schedule. Pressure on
girls motivate them to begin to practice sport and to love themselves. Girls are
pressed too much to have perfect bodies, on the one hand this is good, because
they can motivate and love themselves, on the other hand this is a stupid thing,
because being pressed, girls are changing totally, living in seclusion, they can be
aggressive or can take horrible decisions.
For instance, just carrying your health you can change your personal opinion
about a perfect body and vision about your body.
`

To be sure that you are healthy, women should have a waist size less than 80 cm,
and men less than 100 cm. The stress, sleep, diet, and not at least, the sport
influences on a woman's body. Experts have found out that to have a perfect body,
especially women, should practice sport every day (to walk, to play with children),
should eat much more fruits and vegetables, should sleep 6-7 hours per day and, in
the same row, should keep calm and should not pay attention to all unimportant
things.
4.2 The role of sport in having a perfect body
It is often said that sport is particularly beneficial for health, beauty, and for
the proper functioning of the brain or of maintaining youthfulness. Sport keeps us
young, energetic and active. It helps to maintain a perfect body or to get it.
Practicing sport you will lose calories thus decrease the chances of losing
your perfect body. Taking care of your health you will protect your body and you'll
be sure that you'll never have problems with it.
Other things that can help to keep your body in a good condition, instead of
sport, is a correct day program, healthy food, more green tea and black coffee.

Part V. Every girl is beautiful in her own way.

A charming woman doesn't listen the crowd
Loretta Young

Beauty consists of being kind, having a Golden Heart and loving all around.
All know that every girl is beautiful, and nobody will say that this isnt true, firstly,
because every girl loves, is kind and has a Golden Heart, spite of words she says,
and, secondly, because being woman means being perfect.
Girls are like flowers, all are beautiful, but every has her charm. Walking
through the women, youre feeling like in the most wonderful garden with flowers.
Every girl is special in her own way and for her doesnt speak her body, but her
soul. Its a mistake to try to change yourself, people should love you how you are.
Pressure on girls leads to getting wrong decisions, for example to plastic surgery.
Plastic surgeries are made by women who dont love themselves and who dont
think about their own beauty. Surgeons says that in recent decades many women
resort to plastic surgery, to change their body or face, being disappointed of their
exterior. The charming of a woman is seen in her decisions, shes not pressed and
knows to live in her own way.
Women who are pressed by the opinions of other persons, are loosing their
beauty and their perfection, because a person who listen to the crowd isnt perfect.

Part VI. Mens influence on womens life.

Woman builds empires if she has a perfect man beside her.

The man was always the biggest critic of the woman, but also the best friend. It
depends on what kind of man she has beside her, she loves more or less herself.
Men influence very much on opinions and decisions of women.
The researchers demonstrated that women gain weight faster than men, but
more slowly weaken than they, thats why, women are pressed, more by men, than
by friends, or other relatives. For most men, the women's body is more important
than their interior, so in many cases women are ignored, especially by men.
Unfortunately, every girl leaves to be pressed or influenced by the opinion of a
man, considering them more powerful and able to make decisions. A real man
would not take into account a woman's body , but would be based on her soul.
Women must have their own vision and should not feel pressed by the opinion
of men, they must decide for themselves and rely on their own opinion about a
perfect body.

Part VII. The Stereotypes

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.
7.1 What is a stereotype?

Stereotypes are ways of characterizing the world around us. As definition from
the Cambridge Dictionary, stereotypes are fixed ideas about people, often wrong.
One of the most striking thing is that, typically, stereotypes are created by the
powerful people and are applied to inferior people, who can't control this influence
on them. Generally, many say that stereotypes are true, although it is incorrect,
often.
7.2 What do say stereotypes about women?
Science demonstrates the fact that women can lead the world better than men.
Disagreeing these concepts, there appeared few stereotypes about women, that
demonstrate that they are lower than men.
Scientific researchers mention that the most used stereotypes against women
are:
Women cant park.
Women's smell and sight is more developed than men's.
Women are less physically developed than men.
Women love to talk a lot.
Blondes are stupid.
Brunettes are more attractive and smart.
Brunettes earn more money than blondes.
Woman's place is in the kitchen.
Fat women are ugly.

.Methods applied.
In order to study the opinion of young people about the selfie culture there
was promoted a questionnaire. There were included 15 with reference to
general data subjects; the frequency of taking selfies, the reasons and ways of

using them. Their own experience in taking ugly selfies and the opinion about
the same kind of photos of other people.
The sample of this questionnaire is presented in Appendix. Nr.1
4. Application of the experimental questionnaire.
It was translated into Romanian to facilitate the response of young people.
The questionnaire was promoted in written from in groups of 15-25 people
each.
2.2 Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results of the survey regarding
young people's culture of hideous selfie taking.
At the next stage of the research we worked with statistical data obtained
from the survey. We tried to achieve qualitative and quantitative analysis of
the data. For this we will present the data information according to each
indicator from the questionnaire.
I. General Indicators: respondents profile:
1. From 100 people surveyed, 40 people were male and 60 female. This gender
distribution is due to the willingness of people to participate to the survey.
From the start there has been noticed less interest from the male.
2. The respondents were classified into 2 groups according to age and social
status (50 teenagers- 50 grown-ups). They were also divided into 4
subcategories (26 high school students (13-15 years); 24 college students (1618 years); 28 university students (18-23 years) and 22 employees (24-30 years).

Fig. no. 2 Age and social status

II. Taking selfies:

The concluding result is - 80% of respondents take selfie and only 20% dont
do it. From the 20% who dont take selfies there are 12 people aged from 24 to
30 years, which is 60% of the employees interviewed. They noted that this
activity does not present any interst for them. However, the other age
categories
History shows that a woman should think only about herself
Louise Otto
Questionnaire for students, teachers and parents
The main aim of the present research project is to explore the ideas and
opinions of students and parents toward the Beauty.
Its very interesting to compare your opinion with other opinions, especially the
opinions of students from other schools or opinions of some old people with
experience in life. Lets try to collect some visions about a perfect body.

Talking with many teachers, students and their parents from our lyceum, and
from another schools about their attitudes on this problem, I realized that every
person has his own opinion, thats why I collected some data.

What do people think about a perfect body?

Walking through the city is remarkable that there are:

What did girls eat many years ago and what do they eat nowadays?

Conclusion:
My investigation of the problem has enabled me to do the following:
There comes a very big pressure on a woman's body from men.
Every woman is beautiful, spite of her body.
There are people who dont draw attention to the body of a girl, but to her
heart.

 With the evolution of time, appeared the perfect measures of a girls body
(90-60-90).
The bodies depend on food we eat, on sports we practice an on our mood of
life (healthy/unhealthy).
A woman is pressed, firstly, by herself, and then by people around her.

Appendix
If you are informed, you are armed.
Isaac W. Sprague entered in the history books as the weakest man in the

world. He weighed 18 kilograms entire life. From the age of 12, the man
never fattened, and for this reason he had problems in daily life.

 Most fashion models are willing to make any sacrifices to look perfect and

sometimes starve, becoming anorexic, even it's dangerous for health and
their bodies are not perfect, but shocking.
The fattest man in the world is 20 years old, his name is Khalid and he

weighs more than 600 kg.

A woman from India, Aishwarya Rai is considered the most beautiful

woman in the world because it has a perfect body and the most beautiful
eyes in the world.

Interesting findings

 People who don't love fat girls, are French. They appreciate just girls with
perfect bodies.

Following global surveys about beautiful women, it was found that blondes
are not considered the most beautiful women. Men prefer brunettes.

Americans show that they don't have perfect women, in addition, their
women are the most intelligent.
