The beauty....a big problem?

Recently, I read an article on a magazine, about ''the beauty''. It talks about the conceptions of beauty in different cultures, and that is projected in our's called the western culture.
The writter gave an example of an old village called Padaungs. It's women, known as '' the giraffe women'' wear many rings on their necks to measure they beauty. The padaungs insert to little girls rings on their necks, provoking a stretching of their necks wich is forced and painful.
From our point of view, these forms of beauty are very cruel. In spite of that, impositons of the forms of beauty of the present western society are even worse than the padaung's. Now a day, being beautiful means bieng thin, not having wrinkles, having a perfect body, etc.
These impositions, wich affect mostly women, provoke a decrase of people's self-steam, an increase of the fear of not being accepted by others, it originates a rejection of sexual relationships, among other problems.
Western women try to avoid these problems through painful, tedious and dangerous practices that mistreats the body.
The writter proposes that we leave aside the ''new impositions'' of beauty and that we return to revaluate the power of communication, the feelings and the sensitivity in order that people can accept themselves just as they are.
