Hola mujeres hermosas que forman parte de HIVE馃尫.
Es para mi un placer participar en el concurso #122 de Ladies of Hive, dando mi opini贸n y respondiendo a las preguntas de este tema tan controversial.
馃拕 Why do you think society places such a high value on beauty when it serves no functional purpose?
I think that today the desire to obtain a "beauty" imposed by the society in which we live where filters, and image editors, are used has gone too far to the point that many people disassociate their true identity with the one they decided to show on their social networks.
I also believe this "beauty" that is imposed on us as a method of presentation, makes people another product for the visual enjoyment of the market, embedded in our minds through all the bombardment of stereotypes of beauty in the media like TV, social media, etc; which seems somewhat repulsive.
We, as part of said society, contribute to this problem, since we buy and accept the idea that in order to appreciate objects and people, they have to look a certain way, let's say beautiful, good looking, presentable, without even looking at their real value.
In my opinion, accepting these types of ideas, instilling them and disseminating them in our lives, more than giving us satisfaction, affects us in a terrible emotional and psychological way, especially those people who are developing their personality, tastes and identity.
However, it is important to mention that beauty or beautifying ourselves is not a bad thing, what is bad is using it to define the value of things and even worse, the value of people.
Each and every one of us has a unique beauty, and knowing that the only acceptance we should expect is that of our own eyes and understanding that our value as people goes beyond the acceptance and criteria of society.
Do not forget that you are valuable and that beauty is subjective馃槝.
馃拕 驴Por qu茅 crees que la sociedad da un valor alto a la belleza cuando no tiene un prop贸sito funcional?
Pienso que hoy en d铆a el deseo de obtener una "belleza" impuesta por la sociedad en la que vivimos donde se utilizan filtros y editores de imagen, ha llegado demasiado lejos al punto de que muchas personas disocian su verdadera identidad con la que muestran en sus redes sociales.
Creo tambi茅n que esta "belleza" que se nos impone como m茅todo de presentaci贸n, hace de las persona un producto m谩s para el disfrute visual del mercado, incrustado en nuestras mentes atreves de todo el bombardeo de estereotipos en los medios de comunicaci贸n, lo cual parece un tanto repulsivo.
Nosotros como parte de dicha sociedad contribuimos este problema, ya que compramos y aceptamos la idea de que para poder apreciar los objetos y personas, estos tienen que verse de cierta manera, sin mirar siquiera su valor real.
En mi opini贸n aceptar este tipo de ideas, inculcarlas y divulgarlas en nuestras vidas, mas que darnos satisfacci贸n, nos afecta de una manera terrible emocionalmente y psicol贸gicamente, sobre todo a las personas que est谩n desarrollando su identidad.
Si embargo es importante mencionar que la belleza o el embellecernos no es algo malo, lo que si es malo es utilizarlo para definir el valor de las cosas y aun peor de las personas.
Todos y cada uno de nosotros tenemos una belleza 煤nica, y la 煤nica aceptaci贸n que debemos esperar es la de nuestros propios ojos y comprender que nuestro valor como personas va mas all谩 de la aceptaci贸n y criterio de la sociedad.
No olvides que eres valioso y que la belleza es subjetiva馃槝.
