The temptations- A classic 70's band beautifully explains the ideal beauty, that is one should consider the personality and not the skin color or the facial expressions. They truly depicted the right picture that one should reject the outer beauty and instead consider whats on inside.

white beauty standards / racism & attractiveness

People in the industry just assume that creating an image of beauty means working with white women.This has a discouraging impact on women and girls of color. Photo after photo of a standard of beauty that looks nothing like us tells us that beauty is unattainable – because they’ll never be white.

The absence of women of color in images of beauty is even more disturbing when you realize that when the industry does advertise to women of color, it often includes telling us we should have lighter skin.This one-way color ism shows up in the beauty industry, telling women of color that the darker they are, the uglier they are.The message is subtler when companies use light-skinned models of color or make people like Beyoncé look lighter in adds. But it can also be as blatant as selling skin lightening creams with the promise of looking prettier with light skin.

The picture depicts the harsh reality of modern society. The easiest way to confirm society’s belief in whiteness as beauty is to look at the most common images presented as “beautiful women.”
Glance at a Google search engines, a rack of fashion magazines , or advertisement, and it’s clear that selling the image of “beauty” usually means taking pictures of white women.

The most polar opposite political philosophies both hate borders. I realize that this thesis is a big claim, but keep reading and it'll make sense.

Let's start at the more familiar end of the spectrum: capitalism. With true proponents of the liberal market, world capitalism and globalization are high hopes for the future. Within laissez-faire worldviews, there exists the belief that all governments should take a hands-off approach to economics, in pursuit of private innovation and profit.

The dream that businesses, strewn across the planet and untethered by government regulation, would interact in a global ecosystem of capitalism. Despite the lofty claims, this image is not that nutty! Today, virtually every western economy is organized along capitalist lines. Right now, globalization is rapidly occurring with communication flows in many different directions, thanks to the Internet. This worldwide vision is just a matter of further extending a certain reach as the "Western" momentum continues.

Global capitalism occurs when the free market ideology transcends these infamous national borders - the likes of which can be seen as petty and archaic in an operating system of world capitalism. Political experts cite global free enterprise as the " fourth epoch" of capitalism. Subsequent to the first three epochs, the Earth, once neatly categorized and standardized within countries to protect the people, now transcends national borders.

Global integration encourages the free transfer of goods on a world stage, which would exponentially increase the flexibility that corporations have to choose where and how they operate. Within a purely capitalist system, private entities own the means of production, with no place for government to nudge.

The private sector's already thin membrane would pop, and the market would become more than just a sector; it would be everything. Then, the corporations, that derive income from such ownership, utilize their existing wealth to create more wealth, globally. The basic driver for capitalistic work is the pursuit of profit and innovation rather than the old motivation of fear as seen in the borders that divide us.

This whole concept means that labor is a commodity - a great equalizer of mankind and womankind. There's real dignity in human work, no matter the nationality of the worker.

Bet you didn't think that the most real conservatives *actually* wanted to get rid of the border wall, did you?

Speaking of the worker, we are going to move onto Marxism! As far as that bastardized guy, Karl Marx, was concerned, through inevitable political movements and class upheavals, the human race's societies would evolve into an all-encompassing communistic system.

The Earth will be stateless and collectivist. That vision the long-term goal, at least. Marx thought that because capitalism had basically become global, the proletariat class of the world needs to work as a team, internationally, to avoid continued oppression and exploitation via the giant amoral market.

Come on, communism's rally cry is, "workers of the world, unite!". Obviously, Marx didn't think borders would be a "thing" in the future. Ideally, the workers would move their goods across their global society without the hassle of borders. It's a peaceful view. Such theory may treat world communism as a tranquil and prosperous end result, something almost anyone could endorse.

Borders would wither away in Marx's utopia.

We are alive at quite a time for borders! As an American, I hear screeching promotions and seething detestations concerning Trump's southern border wall every single day. In the postmodern (and post-election) era of severe nationalism and populism that seeps into pretty much everything, it can be difficult to trust anything we hear. Referring back to the political theories that shaped us can be very calmingly enlightening; the idealist theories of old dead dudes can act as a consistent voice amongst the shakiness and screaming matches on the borders.

While I don't personally subscribe to either of these abovementioned strict ideologies, I think it is a humanizing exercise to try to find the similarities in opposite political philosophies, especially in an age when politics are so entrenched in antagonism. Give it a try. You might find that we have a lot more in common than we thought.

Beauty, it isn't what you see when you look at a mirror. It isn't what you don't see when you fancy the celebrity teen on the magazine covers. It isn't what the most famous make-up designers tell you to wear.

Beauty is the sense you feel deep underneath all of you whether you're sitting in your room by yourself or in a crowd full of random people. It's the great inside feeling of pride you have in yourself when you've done good and made everyone proud. It's the feeling you get when your little brother or sister is smiling brightly at you for the help you gave them. It's the feeling you get after your mother or father compares you to the both of them and say, "You're so beautiful."

Beauty isn't meant to be set by how tall or short you are and how skinny or fat you look. It isn't the lipstick or eye-shadow Cosmo Girl tells you what's great on you. It isn't about the best flare jeans or the high-tops that Boys Life tells you looks great on you. It's not even about your own race or your own hair color.

Do you know what beauty is?! Do you know WHERE it is!? It is in YOUR heart! It is in YOUR words! It is in YOUR eyes! It is in YOUR own way!

Don't get me wrong here! I'm not trying to offend anyone in any way. I'm just trying to tell you that beauty is what is on the inside that no one can tell. Beauty is never on the outside where everyone can judge. Beauty is everyone's own thing in their own way! Don't listen to what everyone else tells you. They say wearing 'this' and 'that' is great. But is it worth it? Shouldn't you be the one to think about what's great and what isn't?

It isn't about getting plastic surgery or nose jobs and getting breast implants. It isn't about the latest fashion trend from the most famous fashion designers. It isn't about the purest makeup kits from the most expensive companies. It isn't which cap or beanie looks great on you. It isn't the best skateboard design that looks great with your outfit.

In summary, what I'm really trying to say is, don't waste your money, time, and effort on the magazine's you see at the store. This goes for everyone. Beauty isn't just in girls but in boys too! Think about you, what you have, and what your family's done for you. Look at yourself in the mirror and want to say, "Dang! I look like good!" Don't let other people tell you who you are and who you aren't. YOU are YOU! God made you that way and you shouldn't want to change it! So next time you see that Seventeen magazine, say, "Forget it. I don't need them. I'm my own me and NO ONE can change that."

This article explains in detail why 'White' is preferred over 'Black'. The importance of fairness in African community itself is shocking. North-american standards shuns black to be categorized as beautiful. Why light skin tone held more importance in the society?
