Assignment 2

The part that I disagree is in the lecture about Objectification Theory, Self-Objectification,and Body Image. The sentence that struck me the most was: "That is,women come to view and treat themselves as objects to be evaluated on the basis of their appearance - or to self objectify." I am against this sentence because not all women treat themselves as objects to be evaluated for their appearance. Generalising the idea that all women are preoccupied more about their appearance than their inner world is absurd. Human beings are created to be beautiful inside and outside but the paths they take on life may turn them into forgeting the human element in them. Women are attacked all the time about their appearance but what is important to understand is that, they are not defined by it. Many people use women for their appearance and body, abuse with them in order to get fame or attract attention and this is wrong in many ways. Most women evaluate their inner world and mentality and what makes them a kind person to be more important than their face or body. In the women who don't find themselves in this, confidence is what should be raised in them, so they stop needing another person to appreciate them. The sentence that I agree is in the lecture of The Beauty Myth. "The beauty myth is always actually prescribing behavior and not appearance." I think that this is true because I can't describe a human being beauty if she treats someone bad,if she has knowledge about nothing,or her behaviour is the worst I had ever seen.So,every person is beautiful if we don't prejudice and live as equals. Behaviour and a kind heart is what makes us beautiful people.
