Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection. The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning. The classical Greek adjective for "beautiful" was καλλός, kallos. The Koine Greek word for beautiful was ὡραῖος, hōraios, an adjective etymologically coming from the word ὥρα, hōra, meaning "hour." In Koine Greek, beauty was thus associated with "being of one's hour." A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful. In Attic Greek, hōraios had many meanings, including "youthful" and "ripe old age." From Wikipedia under the

Q. is beauty the same for all people?or do peoples interpretations of beauty differ depending on their culture and values?is beauty always good?is good always beauty? Asked by Everardo - Wed Dec 16 21:06:45 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Views of beauty always change. However, ours seems to be similar to that of the Greeks. However, if you look at the middle ages, the bigger a woman was the prettier she was. I do not think that beauty is always good because of the implications it can have. Conforming to this so called beauty has caused many people lots of problems. Rather than appreciating themselves, people would rather go anorexic or bulimic to conform to societies standards. But to me, good is always beauty because that is how I see it. Remember, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.. (cliche but true :P) Hope that helped... Good luck Answered by yb - Wed Dec 16 21:16:57 2009 How is physical beauty in the eyes of the beholder? Q. I am taking a sociology class and we are talking about being physically attractive. My point is how come some people attract a wider variety of people than others? Usually those who are widely considered attractive receive different treatment from those who are widely considered less physically attractive. I do not think everyone agrees who is pretty and who is not but why are other people treated better than others if beauty is not somewhat universal? Some people have been received attention from the opposite sex all their lives while others have barely managed to get their first bf/gf in their early 20s?
