I'm going for an international oratory competition and my topic is beauty. The essence of my piece is this. Beautiful people are given more oppurtunities and are -frankly- loved more than the mediocre-looking. Why is this so? Are our genetics to be blamed for our physical flaws? Isn't the maxim "Beauty is only skin deep" true?
I need points supporting this statement, and ideas on why beauty plays such an important role in society, so much so that we are willing to spend thousands on plastic surgery to beautify ourselves, because we think we arent good enough to survive.
Beauty is important, yes that IS true, but why is it given the utmost importance now, in a crucial time in history?
Please give me your views on this matter, anything with class, style, quality and excellence will be duly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your help.
