My own personal idea of beauty is something that conveys emotion, it can be a painting, piece of writing, picture and many other different things. But in society today many people miss the real natural beauty in the world and just look at human as beautiful. For example, in todays society you never hear in the news about a beautiful art piece that is beautiful, you mostly hear about women or attractive men. In my opinion society has it all wrong I think every human is beautiful in their own personal way. It may not be in looks but in personality. With our society today focusing on personal traits like models walking down the run way it perceives young women to think negatively about their body. Armstrong states “When we recognize beauty in a piece of music, or the graciousness of someone’s conduct, we see things that we know we have neglected or betrayed and we feel an astonishing combination of anguish and delight”. I personal agree with this because I believe that beauty conveys emotion, but it may not always be happy or delightful it could be sad but still beauty at the same time. Armstrong also states “To regard beauty as a luxury adornment or a social signifier was to miss the true potential of the experience.” I agree with Armstrong with his statement because if you are just looking at an image just like a plain image in its physical form you are not getting the full experience, where it conveys emotion.
