The Benefits of Beauty Contests
With a history of over 60 years, Miss World pageant is now an important show to more than 3 billion viewers in 115 countries. I think the long-running history of the contest shows that beauty contests are beneficial to women.
To begin with, beauty contests draw the public attention to women and improve their social status. As women were once suppressed and abused in a male-dominant world, the emergence of beauty contests showcases the refined attributes of women, beautiful, kind-hearted, understanding and considerate. It is on the high-profile stage of beauty contests that the world witnesses the healthy and well-proportioned figure and a caring heart of a woman. The contests, though indirectly, urge people, especially men, to look at women in a different perspective. They are no longer the desperate housewives stuck with petty chores, or the miserable wives doing their husbands’ bidding. They are the confident and self-sufficient ladies, who are brave enough to compete and make their voices heard. In other words, beauty contests lead to the positive image and the subsequently improved conditions of women.
What’s more, entering or even winning a beauty contest is a national pride for the contestants’ home countries. For example, when Ms. Zhang Zilin was crowned Miss World 2007, Chinese people and East Asians were all very proud and uplifted, because she was the first Miss World of East Asian region. The same feelings were felt by people in the less developed countries, when Miss World 2001 was awarded to Miss Nigeria Like sporting games, beauty contests give a chance to the people around the world to compete on a fair ground, immune from the economic prowess.
Nonetheless, we are aware that some people are concerned about the narrow-mindedness of the contests and doubt the judges are mainly looking at physical appearance. It is true that physical qualities are prioritized in beauty contests. However, beauty pageants never underestimate the importance of intellect. On the contrary, beauty and wisdom are two symbolic words which are frequently quoted to describe contestants. If no one ever criticizes the sprint games as narrow-minded for it only judges the speed of athletes, we are not justified to blame beauty pageants when they set beauty as an important standard.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, "Love of beauty is taste; the creation of beauty is art". Beauty contests are tasteful and artistic events, because they hail the love of beauty and create a stage to celebrate it.
