Beauty contests are exploring the talents of the women, but at same time they are largely influenced by the western culture. According to me, I think such contests are necessary to explore talents of females, but at a same time we should take care of our culture and focus should be given on internal talents. And firstly we need to change our thinking towards it so that value should be given to the other qualities and stress on beauty should be reduced.

In my point of view beauty contest does not degrade womanhood because it is a field and people who are interested and having talent are participating in that. We don't have any rights to talk about others interest and at the same time it has some danger also.

No, beauty contests do not degrade womanhood in any ways. In stead it flourishes the feminine beauty and intellect. Beauty contest examines not only the womanly beauty and glamour, but also it trials their confidence, presence of mind, knowledge. In fact when the whole world is thoroughly busy in the competition to show the best in them, women like Mary Kom, P. V. Sindhu, Sania Mirza, Taslima Nasrin and most importantly Malala should be an inspiration to other women to show the womanpower. Because such beauty pageants only upgrade womanly status, without hurting the womanly image in front of the world in any ways.

Men have many aspects to participate in as men are tougher compared to women. So the only aspect women get to participate into are sensible and soft aspects. Women are always considered about their beauty, pride, self-esteem etc.

Though women participate in games education and all other activities it is that these contests give them their satisfaction to put out what they have. Beauty contests do not degrade women but it is the people who think in the negative way, it is we who have to change thinking. A beauty contest takes all aspects of a participant.

Hi. I don't think that beauty contests are degrading womanhood. Beauty contest are basically for judging a person inner as well as outer beauty. It also look for traits like confidence, honesty etc. These contests are basically for judging the talent of an individual and appreciating their talent. Everyone should take them in a very good way.

It depend on how you take it. Its an opportunity to show talent for a talented girl on the other side during this contest many girls who didn't win went in some wrong directions. Everything which has a brighter side also had a darker side.

As far as beauty is concerned, I think beauty contest considers inner as well as physical appearance, confidence, maturity level, etc.

So I think beauty contests are not degrading womanhood.

No, it is not. The beauty contest is bringing back all the beauty of each and every women living in every corner of the world seeing tv programmes of beauty contest daily, or weekly etc. Beauty contest programs increases the chances of these women to anticipate in various beauty contests who are determined for winning resulting in increasing women's status in the world.

In my views beauty is degrading women. Only a small group of individuals who think of themselves as "fashion freaks" can't judge a woman on the basis of her physical appearance or sexy body or sleek looks. In my views beauty comes from within and is reflected by our deeds and actions.

Beauty contest is not degrading womanhood.

Beauty contest looks for the confidence, better body language, inner as well as physical beauty. Confidence come from knowledge and experience. Better body language helps to improve social relation. Positive attitude and thought makes you beautiful from your heart. And the last physical beauty, If you have better figure it means you are health conscious which is good for you and your family.
