There are countless beauty pageants nowadays, both for adults and children.
Negative points about beauty contests:
- Participants have to be scantily clad.
Participants' dignity is reduced.
There is bad influence for children.
- It is shallow to compete on physical appearance.
The objectification reinforces the idea that women are valued primarily on physical appearance.
So many women will spend a lot on appearance, even with cosmetic surgery.
Many will have exceptional fear of getting old.
- Participants need to wear some clothes that are expensively yet poorly designed.
- The rating is given subjectively and there is no clear standard. Beauty is in the eye of the beholders.
- There may be an unspoken rule to accept indecent proposal in order to get into the competition.
