I dont think they are outdated, and I think its a personal choice if you want to do them.
I dont agree they are degrading to women, if they were why would women do them!

1. I don't think they are outdated. I think that some contestants obsess over winning, and take things like diet, plastic surgery and competitiveness to an extreme, but not everyone in pageants is like that. They are a competition just like other competitions and as long as the contestants have a good attitude, they are not outdated.
2. Yes. Different countries cultivated different ideals of beauty, therefore you are not likely to see women with the same characteristics win pageants in two different countries. Someone who wins the Miss Ireland pageant would not necessarily even place in the Miss India pageant. A lot has to do with the judges and what they see as ideal, though.
3. If the judges are biased towards a certain race, then yes, the contest will be biased. If they are not biased then the contest will not be biased.

1. Do you think beauty contest are outdated? I dont think they should be around beacuse it makes everyone else feel bad about them selves as they dont look like the winner! People should not use beauty to compete against each other as it is not a talent at all.
2.Do different countries and cultures have different ideas of beauty, or is there a common ideal of world beauty? I think that every where is different, as we have different styles of clothes, and different races and religons.
3.Do you think beauty contest are biased towards women of a certain race? No, as they all enter but the ideal women is eitha white, blonde, blue eyes and slim, or dark, brown, brown eyes!
I dont really agree with beauty contests and its making us more superficial! What we look like is only skin deep!
Luv u xxxx

I did beauty pageants from the time I was 14 till I was 17. I am now 21, married, with 2 children, but I loved it. I don't think it's outdated. My niece has been in pageants since the age of 3 months and she is 7. I am 5'9", skinny, brunette, blue eyes, and yes I felt as though blonde haired, 5'0" girls were favored. Don't get me wrong I did win a lot of pageants, and I wouldn't go back and not do them for anything. you meet new people, get more confidence, and it's good experience. I wouldn't really say they are based towards a certain race... Isn't in the Miss America Pageant that has contestants from all over the world???

I don't think there is any problem celebrating beauty. I think the skimpy bathing wear is unnessesary, you can tell if someone is beautiful without looking at every bone in thier body.
Many western countrys like skinny women, latin america and africa like the fuller figure.
Beauty contests are biased towards thin, tall airheads.
I like to see a beautiful woman, what can i say?
Would i stare, stalk or drool over them, no.
Would i like to look at a beautiful face in an elegent evening dress, yes.
Do i watch beauty contests, no. They are unnecessary.
The world is a brighter place for beauty

I think they are outdated and are just like meat market. Women beautiful in one culture may not be classed as such in another culture. What the beauty contest does is choose just the judges ideal of beauty.Besides which I think its a bad role model for girls growing up, too much emphasis placed on looks, when we learn as we age that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Then theres the kids beauty pagents...dont get me started on them....I consider them to be child abuse!!! Disgusting.

I think different cultures and countries have different ideas about beauty...in some cultures being big is beautiful whereas in an ideal western world being skinny is seen as the norm.

beauty pageants are nowadays getting more commercialised.
beauty contests have become a stage for uplifting commercial side of it.
1. what is beauty? Beauty is an innate and emotional perception of life's affirmative and meaningful aspects within objects in the perceived world. In that context, beauty contest are definitely outdated bcoz it has become a commercial platform for models to uplift their commercialism, fame, money & bankability.
2. Beauty has one ideology - attraction, affection & pleasure. However, it gets ethnically defined depending on cultural, geographical, linguistic flexibility. The usage of beauty means to promote an ideology or dogma with a focus of societal debates which center around issues of prejudice, ethics, and human rights.
3) However, a more controversial commercial aspect in "culture wars" is feminism typically claim dogmatic rather than a virtuous understanding of beauty.
Beauty is everywhere & everything. Not only human physical appearance, mental or intellectual inheritance . I had a professor in University who taught me Physics and after he derives more complex theorems esp in Quantum physics or Relavity, he acclaims with joy, "That's the beauty of Physics!"
That's true, take Euler's theorem in Mathematics e^i*pi=0, simply beautiful due to its simplicity.
Take Einstein's E=mc^2 and E = hν, simple, perfect & beautiful!

i replaced right into a decide as quickly as at one in college in a nightclub, the lady i presumed ought to win replaced into no longer enjoyed with the help of any of the different judges. For some reason i got here upon all of them went for the single female who's dad replaced into prosperous and owned the nightclub. I caught to my weapons and would not go alongside with them. immediately i will inform you she remains a lots nicer, friendly honest hardworking female than the single that did win. Proved my think approximately asserting she replaced into the final one over the final 2 an prolonged time in actuality. on a similar time as the different one that did win is as lots a snob immediately as she replaced into in 1988.
