Are beauty contests degrading womanhood?

I am not fully agreed with this that beauty contest degrading the womanhood, it gives opportunity to women to show their talent self confidence and about wearing their costumes we all know that what the designer design for them they have to represent in front of respected audience. How broad mindedness show by the audience and society to their wearing, talent and representation.

In everything there is a negative & positive points. Because in fashion field the models are trying to do their job. But the viewers who doesnt know anything about this field are trying to watch in another way which you can understand. Through the contest every women are showing their talents in a different way. And our nation always want a winner so those models who come back are all in a well respected position.

I feels that beauty contest are not for our culture because in our Indian culture woman wear saris, dresses & etc that covers their whole body & in beauty contasts they have to wear short clothes & its a western culture. We are Indian & we must proud of that. Why beauty contasts don't shows any Indian culture? If that is just a proffetion & that models are just representing the designs made by fashion designers than why they have to concerntrate on their figure looks & etc. & in beauty contast womans wears only western clothos. Why not saris & dresses&etc. Atchually fashion designers are just using womens beuty for their busseness they are just explosing woman beauty & its not a thing for use its a gift from the nature.

I feel any thing depends on the way we view them. If we see a dark room we get afraid though we knew that there is no ghost in it. in the same way if girls do expose their body by short dresses its in the way we see. Some may see the body exposed or some may even see the talent that even a small dress can cover the body. Its just the matter of skin, its all in the way we think so i say beauty contest place to expose the beauty of women is not at all degrading.

I believe that what women do with themselves are there chose if you don't like the idea of women prancing around in mini dresses then don't watch them, but in there eyes that's what the think is best for them and we should all really be supportive because you don't judge a book by is cover so don't judge a person by there dress.

In my point of view, i think always Women's are equivalent to Men. Beauty contest are held only for women and not for men mostly. so, women's should take it in a rite way and they can use their own traditional dresses like chude, saree, etc,. Being a girl , each should come forward for all and also express their own talents possibly in a good way.

First of all I would like to say that it is not what you do that degrades a woman, but how you do it. If the pageant is strictly about looks and beauty than it is what it is. To see who has the better look or the look that is more honorable. This is not degrading but can cause self esteem issues for women that enter these pageants just to feel pretty or just to prove a point to the world. Pageants are not for every woman but unfortunately a lot of the wrong women enter these pageants and wind up getting their feelings hurt. I think when women have to wear little or nothing with all types of strange men looking at them, than that can be degrading to a woman if she doesn't know how to handle this mentally. Personally I think it is a beautiful thing to show your body especially when it is nice. If certain women think pageants are degrading then don't bother with them. Believe me there are other things excluding pageants that degrade women. But it is a matter of opinion and it strictly depends on the woman. So I say no, pageants are not degrading. It's the woman herself that determines what makes her feel less than who and what she is.

I dont think beauty contests are degrading womanhood. In name beauty contests itself we can understand clearly it s a competition based on beauty. Beauty contests is the place only to expose their physical beauty. Its a hectic work to maintain beauty with physical fittings. Womans are not only showing their beauty, they are trying to express many factors like self confidence, maintenance of beauty, talents, way of speaking, positive attitudes and they are facing various audiences with a full of challenges. probably, if any girl went for any birthday parties or marriages they wil try to prove tat they are lookin much pretty than other woman in parties.. Everyone eyes should turn on her.. Its quite nature about gals. Wat am coming to say here is, gals are trying to expose their beauties even though in parties so wats a wrong in this beauty contests. It is a only place where each and every audiences and media look upon the models so they wil try to prove their talents and best performance.. Its a quite challenge for a model among modellers. It is nothing there to think this is degrading womanhood.. Each and every women has unique talents and intersts..

Conclusion : Finaly, i conclude here is each and every coins has two faces by the way in each and every fields has both positive and negative things.. Try to do something positive from negative things. On the other hand, how we take it is and how we see is.. Only let we see about a postive things in a proper and right way not in a wrong way !!

Generally speaking beauty contest influence on womanhood has no connection what so ever. Its the path which is to be blamed, compromises are often witnessed.

Paying due respect to the views of my fellow members in the present group discussion, I would love to share my views about the same. First of all I thinl beauty contest is neither effecting nor degrading womenhood rather it is helping them to groom and broom their talent. Yes, it is providing them the platform through which they could prove their worth and mettle to the rest of the world. Besides, there are a number of burning examples in font of us where by a women after going through such contests made a name for herself and leading a financially and economically sound life thereafter. Aft.

Er taking part in such contests a woman gets more sharpened in the professional world and she gets a number of options available to her hereafter to boost her carrier by a wide range of career oprions available to her. She could have a careerin modelling, Djs, news nroadcaster, show hoster etc. Finally, it is the perfect platform to a women to. Channelise, capitalize and harness her beauty.

In conclusion, I would like to add that beauty contests are must welcome contests and it is helping the women to add a new dimension to their beauty and womenhood and such contests should only be encouraged by one and all so that tomorror our women fraternity could rise and shine like the toppest star in the sky.
