Socratic seminar 2

The Socratic seminar that we had in class today was about a article that we read that was called In the eye of the beholder. This article was about the media and what the west thinks is beauty and other coulters. In the Socratic seminar we talked about how the media is hurting the public with there ideal of what beauty is. We talked about how the beauty is so different from other countries like Africa where they like there women to be fleshy to what the media hear think is real beauty. We went on to talking about how people have a set of mind that beauty is skinny with nice skin and beautiful hair. We also talked about how this is hurting the children that pay more attention to those commercials and look up to some of the people that come out in those commercials.
Some of my thoughts about what I read about the article and what we talked about was that people can be smart enough that they need to find there inner beauty first and then there outer beauty. I also think that some people are influenced to be skinny because sometimes they have there peers telling them to shed a few pounds.
