Where Do Our Beauty Standards Come From?
In the distant past, when communication between countries and continents were minimal, beauty standards differed greatly by demographic, from the blackening of teeth in some Japanese regions to foot binding in China to the Ancient Egyptian Kohl eye makeup. How are these practices translated now in the 21st century and how has the widespread use of image manipulation and communications media shaped our current beauty standards? Learn about the historic roots, potential future homogeneity, and money-spinning intentions behind the beauty that we perceive.
