Video Questions

1. Do you think that the symmetry test conducted on the baby was flawed? How? Describe how you would design an experiment that could fool the baby and skew the results.
Well in my opinion the experiment only supports their opinion but doesn’t really prove anything at all. I don’t think babies know the difference between ugly and beautiful unless it was something really horrible. They should have demonstrated other babies taking that same experiment. I think a baby stays penetrated on the picture that comes out first. Well I wouldn’t make experiments for any reason with babies.

2. What is missing from this video about beauty?
I notice that this video doesn’t describe the inside beauty. Other people have like the example of Bill Gates, he isn’t super fine but his brain took him further than any other beautiful person has gone through. Inner beauty is the most important subject because without inner beauty a person cannot reflect the value a person really has.

3. What are features that might break the “typical” beauty rules? How are these different from the “typical” beauty rules?
Well being asymmetrical breaks the supposable typical rules but yet there are beautiful people that are not
4. How does this video make you feel about beauty?

Well beauty can cause people to do many things as the video shows and that is really upsetting. It makes me feel that beauty is taken so far for some people leading them not be satisfied with themselves. Um and disgusted after seeing the surgery people had and the strength they had to do that.

5. What is it about the skin that makes it returning to its place? What property is this?
* Elastic properties make come back to its place.
6. What are the risks of cosmetic surgery? Would you ever do it? What would you be willing to risk for cosmetic surgery? How long will it last?
The risky part is being in coma for so long and something going wrong disaffirming a part of your body. On the other hand if I had the body that lady had I would take the risk because that was nasty. I thank god because there is nothing in me that I would want to change in particular. So no, I wouldn’t risk it only with all the exaggerating fat hanging and not having any other solution.

7. Someone in the video is quoted as saying “make-up can make anyone prettier.” Do you agree with this? Support your answer.
Well make up does help everyone but not everyone needs it. There are beautiful people who don’t need it but at a certain age it can help. Its like a painting, color gives it a brighter sight of it, but it’s not necessary. I just know that makes up does some miracles on some persons.

8. Do you think that there are cultural differences in how cosmetic surgery is viewed?
No surgery is just disgusting and nasty when it deals with blood. Um I don’t know but religious people are most likely to go against it. And in the other hand some may love the technology there is to help them, with the risk of something going wrong. Everyone has their own opinion regarding their self-esteem.
