Defining Beauty

Complete the sentences below.

1. For me, beauty means the characteristics and qualities of an object or a person that is pleasing
to anyone. It is not limited to the outside looks, but it also considers the inside, or the
personality of a person.

2. A beautiful person is someone who has a distinctive personality, very caring and cares about you
and your opinions. Although at first it sounds literal, that a beautiful person is someone that is
pretty and is very attractive to look at, but what defines a beautiful person is his/her personality.

3. I am beautiful because I am. I don’t need the clarification of others to prove that I am beautiful.
If you think you are beautiful, then you are.

4. List down names of people you know who are beautiful.

ANALYSIS

1. When do we usually observe the changes listed above for males and females?
- During puberty (8 years old to 14 years old)
2. Were you able to experience the same changes? When?
- During my puberty phase, first year of highschool (12 years old)
3. If you were not able to experience the above listed changes, what might have caused such
difference?
- One reason that could have probably caused the delay or the absence of the puberty
stage is the DNA or problems relating to chromosomes.
4 How does the society shape the sexual behavior of an individual?
- The society gives a huge impact on how we deal with sexual things and things related to
relationships. For example, the way we court someone, the way we date, how long are
we supposed to wait to have sex, and the general idea of sex are formed by the norms
in where we live or in our society.
5 Can we really change our natural or innate sexual organ and sexual response?
- In my own opinion, I think we can change our natural or innate sexual organ since every
single person has hormones in them. Hormones can change sexual organs. Transplants
are very rampant nowadays, and so we can really change our sexual organs. Sexual
response on the other hand, the way our body reacts to stimulus can also be changed.
Drugs can be used to trigger or to suppress sexual desires/feelings. But if the sexual
response that we are talking about is the “sexual preference”, then no, we can’t change
it since it has already been baked into the person right from birth.
