Women are judge by the way they walk, talk, facial features and many more in pageants. Judges are biased to skinny women and I bet their race is a big factor, and in these pageants they are looked at like cirrus animals with having the perfect performance, outfit and style. These women have to struct in bikinis with their perfect bikini bodies in front of thousands of people and professional judges that are determining their worth on their appearance, what is that teaching these girls and the ones watching them? All that matters in your appearance? Vanity over brains? (talked about in module 3, lecture B, slide 6)

"Pageants are a sanitized and sanctioned outgrowth of nineteenth-century carnival sideshows. In the context of this popular, antebellum entertainment, individuals with physical or racial differences were theatrically exploited to seem exotic, dangerous or supernatural. Patrons paid small sums to gawk at the living “wonders,” staged, costumed and put on display for no other purpose than to entertain and excite. Pageantry operates on the same kind of visual and representational politics except that contestants are made to appear desirable rather than estranged" (Moeschen, 2013

MURDER!! IT STARTED WITH A CHILD DYING! You've got to be kidding me! As if them having life long problems due to the stress and impossible standards pageants hold for children didn't make pageants bad enough. People force these 8 year old to be sexualized in a way they don't understand, put in corsets that destroy their bodies and have these adult teeth stuck in their mouth because having baby teeth that fall out are unacceptable. Please put down the lipstick and the hairspray and let your child actually be a kid while she can, they have the rest of their lives to be as grown up as they want.

"Children who take part in these competitions are brought up putting a huge deal of focus on outer appearances, which can cause substantial emotional and psychological damage. Children learn their values while they are young, and beauty pageant participants grow up thinking that a woman's worth comes in part by how attractive they are. Girls in the competitions, and even girls who watch these pageants on TV, are learning that they need to look a certain way to look attractive." (Hassan, 2015)

"Child beauty pageants were first brought to the public eye when six-year-old pageant contestant JonBenet Ramsey was found murdered in her home in 1996. News broadcasts showed pictures of her all dolled up, which led to the public becoming interested in these beauty pageants and eventually the popularity of child beauty pageants in media."

Though personally the closest thing to a beauty pageant that I've watched is the movie " Miss. Congeniality" I agree with this and is the reason I've always stayed away from the world of pageants, in person and Tv. There's enough in the media already trying to tell me that I'm not good enough and with the narrow viewing of how the media portrays women with their controlled images (talked about in moudule 2

" The pageant has been around for a long time, so clearly many people do not believe that there is anything wrong with it. Nevertheless, when I consider the women who glide across the stage, I specifically recall skinny women who appear to have perfect teeth, perfect skin, and perfect bodies. It’s a lot of pressure because the only women who look like that are in magazines, television and movies." (Dante, n.d)

"A beauty pageant or beauty contest is a competition that has traditionally focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants, although most contests have evolved to also incorporate personality traits, intelligence, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria."
