a journey through the Pacific

This blog has been an article i was preparing to write for a long time, but time limits everything. So i want to talk about beauty and looks. Is it important to look good and dashing? My answer is yes, because everybody judge another within 10 second. However, dont be misunderstood. Looking good does not mean, having a face of a super model. It means to have a face that is cheerful, clean to show hygene and most importantly having a bit of redness because it shows that u are healthy.

People mistook beauty as looking like a super model. But that is wrg, bcuz even fat or skinny ppl can look good. To get a clean skin wash it everyday, to have a cheerful look simply be happy and having a bit of redness needs a bit of exercise. If u are off different race, with a darker tone. You just have to show how cheerful and healthy u are.

You see, television gives such a dynamic and huge impact to our mind. It distort and seize our ability to think for ourselves, which in simple terms means be rational. Why? bcuz i did a research for my last assignment and i found out that in the past few years. They implant a different concept in the advertisement so that we buy from them.

At first, we might realise it, but when times come we unconsciously alter our perception to think what the advertisement want us to think. Thus, this apply to beauty. They make beauty seems so artificial nowadays. As if humans are all born so perfect proportionate. As what my lecturer say, television is created for humans to escape reality and if one linger to long in there, their mind will automatically stuck in fantasy.

The human mind is a powerful thing, that is why we must not let others take control. Big cooperate companies are there to alter our perception so that we purchase their product. Because if this does not happen the whole economy will seize to circulate.

In the 20th century, beauty has been perceive by us to be like what u are thinking now. Here is how it works, when one well-known company display a beautiful person. Humans will think oh wow that is beautiful. Then other company will follow and slowly we are bombarded by millions of images of what "they" think beauty is. Then the society will think like that.

Then when it is securely fix in our mind. The society turn ugly, by criticizing and condemning the what is perceive as ugly. Then you will start to be demoralize and purchase product that will make u "beautiful".

Take for example, a psycological experiment. When one person that is original beautiful, is said by others as ugly. The individual will slowly and surely think that she or he is ugly. But in fact he or she is not. Thus, this shows that television and society has control our mind. Therefore, eventually robbing us of our right to be able to think for ourselves. Do not lose that. Because as u lose that u will lose the right to be a human. As u use every means to please everyone especially urself for what others say.

So i said b4, yes u must be beautiful but u must think for urself what beauty is. For me beauty is smile, having a cheerful attitude. Healthy and clean skin. And some redness. As when others see u like that they will think "ah... thats a very nice person"
