Watching the video  “Women’s Ideal Body Types Throughout History” on my own because I could not attend class led me to be greatly intrigued. Throughout the years, women’s ideal body type has changed in many ways. From plump, full-bodied, light skin Ancient Greek women to flat stomach, “healthy” skinny, large breast post-modern beauty. After watching the video, I was struck with a question of “Who determines in each of these eras what body type is beautiful?”. After reflecting on this question, I came to the conclusion that society bases beauty on physical features. For example women in 2015 want Kim Kardashians butt and Beyonce’s curves because that is what society considers beautiful. People began to go out of their way to buy waist trainers and get butt implants to look like these celebrities. I believe this is absolutely absurd. Beauty should not be based on what other people think of you. Beauty should be based on your inner beauty.
