[00:00.00]In contemporary society,

[00:03.36]culture remains a significant factor

[00:05.41]in determining our perceptiion of beauty.

[00:08.87]In some countries,young women follow slimming

[00:11.59]diets to lose extra kilos in preparation

[00:14.40]for their wedding day.In other cultures,

[00:17.89]looking thin for their husband-to-be

[00:19.83]is not what they desire at all,

[00:21.97]rather,looking a lilttle plump and fleshy

[00:24.21]is considered more attractive.

[00:27.63]With the influence of society,time and culture,

[00:31.09]there are no certain criteria

[00:32.77]which can be used to judge what is beautiful.

[00:36.69]lifelong commitment and indeed,

[00:38.83]the survival of society itself.

[00:41.24]rely on individuals seeing beauty

[00:43.05]in difference and depth.

[00:45.63]The human race would soon die out,

[00:47.48]if we were restricted to perceiving beauty

[00:49.64]within a set of limited criteria.

[00:53.35]On the other hand,

[00:54.56]physical beauty must also be enhanced,

[00:56.82]by an attraction to something deeper

[00:58.42]within a person.

[01:00.74]That particular kind of attraction is found

[01:02.73]in all sorts of personality character traits,

[01:06.06]e.g.kindness,generosity.
