What to write for beauty expository essay?

answers1: Well what about beauty are you talking about? <br>
-the actual beauty product, the way it is advertised, beauty in general?? <br>
Take a stance: for or against or in between. What do you think of
beauty in general? Is it a good or bad thing? <br>
Good: build confidence, prettier, fun, creative, unique <br>
Bad: decreases confidence (I can't go without it), hide natural
beauty, conformity, time consuming. Notice how there are traits that
contradict each other when compared with both lists. (ex: build and
decrease confidence). This means there are at least 2 perspectives of
looking at beauty. Are they completely opposite? Maybe, maybe not?
<br>
-go on google, use databases and search beauty. Effects of beauty on
women, beauty articles. Quote authority figures, and use evidence to
support your claim. <br>
ex: oprah, Marilyn menroe, other celebrities are symbols of beauty <br>
-beauty is different all over the world, beauty over time, what beauty
means to each person, how beauty is not one specific thing and is
different to each individual are possible directions you can take with
this. <br>
-be specific, use details, and have your thesis make a claim. Your
essay is more than just about beauty. It has to be about one specific
aspect of beauty. (ex: I agree that the idea of beauty is different to
each person because beauty is in the eye of the beholder) <br>
-describe beauty various ways, use different dictionaries, quotes from
celebrities or people who support your claim. Describe beauty in
multiple ways and relate it all back to your main point. <br>
-if your topic is about one specific beauty item (ex: a certain
foundation) then the above advice still follows. <br>
-VERY IMPORTANT: there are different types of beauty. Not just makeup
wise. There could be mental beauty (having a good personality, being a
good person), beautiful sights and images, beautiful scenarios, a
feeling. (ex: when someone saves a baby from a burning house, that's
beautiful) So be sure to clarify what type of beauty you are talking
about, for whatever aspect you choose the above advice still follows.
answers2: My previous semester I had to subjects related to this issue
(Public Speaking and Writing for Academic Purposes) and I came to a
conclusion that open essays and narrative essays are the easiest to
write and get a high score. The reason why I am saying this is
subjectivity. I had written an essay about PREJUDICE (in our society)
and no one was able to "attack" me related to it afterwards, because
in the end, it is my own ideas, opinions and attitudes, values. I
think that not giving space the others to comment too much is an
advantage in this case. Of course, you have to present strong facts
but then, if they're subjective, they cannot deny them... I hope I
explained well what I meant by this. Good luck! :)
