Different Concept Of Beauty

I believe that the concepts of beauty differs according to times and places. During the renaissance period, people thought that plump women were gorgeous. In contrast, nowadays who are slim are considered attractive. In the 1950s, fashion trends made women believe that they would look more stunning if they had curly or wavy hair, whereas today, a straight and long hairstyle is preferred. Previously in America and Europe, people with light complexions are considered attractive, while nowadays many people think that they look more exotic if they are tanned. However, geography also plays a role in determining the concept of beauty. For example, An Indian woman with long and straight black hair is considered beautiful. In Africa, on the other hand, a woman with curly hair is thought of as good looking. In some parts of Africa, women wear tattoos as symbol of beauty while Chinese women go for a flawless skin without any marks. So time And place really determine people’s perspective of beauty.
