Beauty Pageants are a Must

I disagree with people who think ONLY beauty (appearance wise) is temporary. One should count money, intellect etc in the list of temporary things. Secondly, just like IQ, beauty is a gift of God as one simply cannot make their IQ as good as Einsteins with even a lot of hard work.

Having stated this, I would like to tell that I in no way think Beauty pageants are a necessity. They can be there just like other business competitions or other stuff but one simply cannot rank someone on inner beauty. That's a perspective that varies. Telling someone their inner beauty plus add ons (intelligence, prettiness, etc) is better than others is utter non-sense. These are mere competitions for entertainment endorsed by beauty products and simply do not deserve to be called as a must.

Somebody narrowed down all the 'musts' under the umbrella of GDP drivers. This is also untrue. One simply cannot make GDP a function of necessities. Art and aesthetics do not necessarily add to economic growth but they are an essential part of cultural development.

If beauty is the only way to gather attention, then many of the speakers should have been actors or models. Beauty is something which can make a person to pay attention for a fraction of a minute. But the way you talk or the way present your ideas carries a heavy weight age. Many times people loose their concentration by being conscious about their attire. So for any person being beautiful should not be the main priority.

It is one of key factor but not most important factor. Beauty gives us the confidence to face the world. But beauty without attitude is nothing indeed. And beauty without wisdom goes in vain. So key factors are your attitude and wisdom. Beauty just gives you confidence for the initial starts.

In my opinion, as we know beauty pageants are the competition held at national and international levels to judge "beauty with brain" remarks.
According to that contest, one should have a perfect and adequate physical appearance, communication skills, and confidence. It reinforces more on outer appearance rather than inner beauty. It is just another platform for promoting fashion and modernity. I feel there is always pressure on girls after winning these types of contests to maintain their body size and to find good opportunities. Harnaz Sindhu got criticism after gaining weight. It is called a contest that empowers women however these types of contest exploits naturalness and promote artificial beauty.

No. They ruin little girls self-esteem and sometimes lead them in the wrong direction.
