beautiful face, beautiful hair, beautiful people etc,etc. but those stereotype had turned our
society to a cruel life. We can already see in our daily life, all the beautiful people will get

our society. People make judgement about others simply based on their looks and treat them
accordingly based on their appearance. (maree thyne, 2015). Therefore, today I want

same treatment. I want to persuade you to appreciate people and yourself more without judging
their appearance.

Hello everyone,
Let’s be frank, we are more drawn to beauty things: beautiful home, beautiful car, beautiful
dress, beautiful face, beautiful hair, beautiful people etc,etc. But Beauty, a simple word used
by millions of people a day. But has anyone taken a moment, stopped, and actually thought of
the authentic meaning of what beauty truly is? What defines beauty? Is it skin colour, weight,
freckles on ones face? Or is it something deeper than that, something that may not involve
physical aspects but rather being able to embrace ones uniqueness. Today in our society,
the media is constantly telling young adults exactly how they should look in order to
be beautiful, they set guidelines such as plump lips, arched eyebrows, flawless skin, and that,
well that’s all bull shit, that is just a way for huge corporations to survive off people who are
gullible or have low self-esteem. They set an image which unfortunately leads teenagers to
become severely infatuated with looking perfect, but if we all looked like that, we would
simply be all clones, and the world… Well it would be a fairly boring place. Plus, we can
already see in our daily life, all the beautiful people will get benefit and the best treatment
compare to those who’s not perfectly fit the standard beauty in our society. People make
judgement about others simply based on their looks and treat them accordingly based on their
appearance Therefore, today I want encourage everyone to avoid favouritism against
beautiful people and treat all people with the same treatment. I want to persuade you to
appreciate people and yourself more without judging their appearance.
Beauty standard idealism, how far it should go? People nowdays had put in their mind that in
order for them be happy they need to be pretty first and fit the beauty standard. And this
idealism were supported with unprofessional Advertisements that portray an over-sexualized
and unattainable ideal of beauty standard nowdays. Likes, The advertisements promised
light-skinned women higher positions socially, economically, and in other realms. This had
left a negative, racist mark in society. People tend to be more insecure with theirself, lead to
low self-esteem and depression. Physical beauty incorporates the most vital characteristics for
a woman and all of them. Women must do everything in their capacity to gain and preserve
this beauty
Furthermore, this stereotype had influence the beauty bullying or beauty cyberbullying habit
in our society. Based on cyber smile foundation, more than 45 million females around the
world experiencing Beauty Cyberbullying. People that do not match in with beauty sterotype
and do not wish to follow beauty trends are ridiculed or criticized by those who support such
trends. People feel like they are obligated to use makeup, wear expensive designer clothes,
have perfect haircut and undergo unnecessary cosmetic surgery in order to avoid being the
victim of beauty bullying. (Domina petric, 2020) Beauty abuse can cause a lot of mental
suffering and a variety of psychiatric issues.
This unnecessary stereotype had deteriorate people mental health and body health People
sometime went over the limit by using some dangerous product to get the quick result
without thinking about their side effect. For instances, some Malaysian youngster used the
brilliant skincare which are not approved by KKM as they contain dangerous ingredient such
as mercury and hydroquinone that might affect our body. Eventhough they knew about the
negative effect of this product, they still used and ignore it because they want to be fair and
flawless and fit the mould of beauty standard. People also tend to developed anxiety,
depression as they try to push themselves to be “perfect” according to beauty standard. They
will try everything they can as long as they up to date. Such as they willing to go into debt as
long as they can buy all the branded stuff.
We will save and change our culture by avoiding all the beauty ideals and beauty myths that
have dominated our everyday lives. We need to respect ourselves more by accepting the way
we are. Stop constantly comparing ourselves with every single people we see. (Alyssa

You truly don’t have to be perfect in order to be beautiful. There are many aspects which play
a role such as personality. It may not be seen with the naked eye but the way someone makes
you feel, being loved, being cared for, that is what should be defined as beauty. Situations can
make individuals be perceived as a whole new different person such as effecting
people positively by lending someone a hand, being a good citizen, and participating in
helping the community become a better place
Many people are actually frightened to stand up for what they believe in, but will following
the crowd help you achieve anything in your life? Because it honestly shouldn’t matter what
other people think, it’s what you think of yourself. Following what society believes is
beautiful may have its pros such as fitting in and joining the super popular group at
school, you may not be an outcast but you may end up being a mediocre and losing your
sense of self and individuality.
Unfortunately, you will not be remembered by just “fitting in” with the crowd. A perfect
example in this case would be celebrities; they all try so hard to be different from each other.
Lady gaga, Nicki Minaj they stand out, and that’s why I honestly do believe their so famous,
they are different. Another great example would be Rosa Parks. She was an African
American woman who started a revelation by simply standing up for what she believes
in. Not giving up her seat on the front of the bus was a brave thing to do, although she was
aware of the consequences.
These are the kind of people we should look up to; these are the people that should be
perceived as beautiful in our modern day. This teaches us a great lesson, it teaches us to
overcome obstacles and to not be who everyone else wants you to be such as parents, friends,
maybe even teachers, because at the end of the day it’s not what other people think of a
certain individual, it’s what that person thinks of themselves!
Lastly, I’d like to conclude my speech by reading the quotation which I have
chosen…“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely
ridiculous than absolutely boring.” By Marilyn Monroe
