Beauty Standards Around the World

The standards of beauty change throughout time based on social ideologies, trends, philosophies, ways of living, cultural standards and many other factors. Different countries and regions of the world perceive visual beauty differently based on these factors.

In this event, we will discuss if these standards are as strong as they were in the past, how globalization and world immigration may play a role in how beauty is perceived today, and what role does the presence of social media, particularly Instagram and similar platforms have in altering our perception of beauty. We will also discuss whether there is such a thing as "universal beauty". Event is open to men and women! We may also touch upon how male attractiveness is seen around the world. But I will do another event on that later!

Golnaz will start the event with discussion questions and participants will discuss in breakout rooms.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT:

1. Event purpose is to enjoy and have fun first and foremost.
2. We want to start and end the event with a smile on our face and feeling good, not stressed.
3. You may not agree with different views, but you must respect them.
4. Rude, aggressive/argumentative tones will not be tolerated.
