Are beauty contests degrading womanhood?

In justifying my point I would like to add that when we are talking about Indian culture, then yes beauty contests are degrading it because wearing short dresses and exposing various body parts aren't our culture also with respect to have a good outlook of the body womens go for size zero and keep themselves on low diet which in turn transforms them from having a genuine body into skeletons but still they feel very proud of acquiring size zero despite of unknowing the fact that for how long they will survive on earth like this. Wearing traditional dresses is our culture and we have magnificent dresses to wear.

Ya beauty contest should be approved by society. Its the platform where a women can show her external as well as internal beauty. Women have many dreams like to be a successful model. So why not give them an opportunity to express their views about how she admire her surroundings its the way for her to show her confidence, charm, positive attitude and most important to share her experiance with whole world. Its the attitude that matters not the narrow thinking. We must try to change our scenirio instead drowning them in pits. Women should be the one who runs her life herself by fulfilling her dreams.

Hi friends.

I want to say something about this topic.

Beauty contests are the places where girls and women show their talent. As they walk on the platform they are showing self-confidence and their achievements that had led them to this floor.

But it is also degrading womanhood. As most of the world's population is seeing them, they wanted to look like them and are not satisfied with their own. Because of this many girls and women in the world are having plastic surgeries and trying to look like them. This is just a wastage of money and time. This money can be used for many good works.

Thank you.

A beauty contest is a platform where women all over the world compete for the pageant.

According to me, beauty contests are providing women a good platform to showcase their talents and skills. It's not an easy task to perform. Only beauty with brains can win the pageant.

These contests help the women to show that they are no less and gives them new opportunities. It also helps them to realize their confidence.

An ordinary girl can get a celebrity status in no time.

It's not just about winning but also the girl can learn to become responsible as they have to do lot of social work.

Thank you.

If anyone of you believe, that beauty contests degrade our culture, it is because the way you view and interpret these contests. These are a perfect means to provide platforms to upcoming stars for bollywood and of course TV serials. They are meant to display a talent and confidence. If you have any problem with short dresses, try not to watch a woman as just beauty or sex objects. Observe how graceful they are, how confidently they present themselves. That is the main objective of beauty contests.

Now these contests may be misused in INDIA, but considering everything its a great platform.

I would like to state that beauty contest is degrading women as fashion is important but at a limit, limit must not be crossed even if its about increasing your beauty or improving the way of dressing style. This style has been crossed in beauty contest. Let us take an example you might have observed that there is new kind of eye fashion by bordering your eye with many makeup products, can that be followed in your day to day life or any party. You would surely not. And more over internal beauty is important than external one. Your behaviour matters more than your makeover.

I totally agree with the topic. Beauty contest not just mean to flaunt the body, it is all concerned with 'beauty with brains'. There is a round called 'Swim-suit round' in which ladies have to wear swimming costume and have to flaunt their figure. I do not agree with this thing as this does not serve the real purpose of the contest.

The actual purpose of this contest is to check the contestant's ability to speak, to think positively, to make correct decisions, to work for the development of the country and last but not the least to be an extempore speaker.

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.

In my point of view, beauty contest is the best platform where a women can improve their talent. It gives all the women more confidence to do something better for the country.

All the women take insperation from then and they try to do better in their life.

The famous beauty contest in the world is Miss universe and Miss world.

From the whole world many girls and women take part in these compitation. And show their talent.

This type we can say the beauty contest s degrading womanhood. And improve the situation of women in whole world. Thank you.

The topic on the table is are beauty contests degrading womanhood.

It is really a thought provoking topic. I deem it as a honour to break the ice on this.

My friends, to my mind these contests are not degrading womanhood because by these contests women can explore herself, also her confidence increases.

Its world of globalization. It gives platform for women to be a model or actress or both.

Everybody have their own dreams or wishes, it they are participating by her own & her parents wishes, so I don't think anybody have problem for it.
