What's at play in our pursuit of beauty? First, we'll explore how beauty is defined, and then we'll delve into the privileges associated with beauty and the influence appearance can have on our lives.
, , .
And lastly, let's try to imagine the future, because we shouldn't forget that the discourse and images around us shape how we see beauty.
, .
So, let's start by asking ourselves: how do we define beauty?
, .
Obviously, you can't define human beauty.
