Video Questions

1. Do you think that the symmetry test conducted on the baby was flawed? How? Describe how you would design an experiment that could fool the baby and skew the results.
Answer: No I don’t think the test was accurate because a baby does not have the knowledge at a young age to judge weather someone is ugly or pretty because in his eyes they all look the same.

2. What is missing from this video about beauty?
Answer: they were missing different races, in the video all they were showing was white people you might have seen at last 1 black person and a couple of asians but overall the movie was missing different races in order to see changes in beauty you should have more than one race present.

3. What are features that might break the “typical” beauty rules? How are these different from the “typical” beauty rules?
Answer: thin lips, close eyes, and a non-symmetrical face. because most people feel that all of these qualifications isn't necessary in order to be pretty some people can have close eyes and thin lips and feel that they are the most beutiful person on earth some people feel that thick lips aren't attractive or people who's eyes are spread apart i feel that some people have different opinions about beauty.

4. How does this video make you feel about beauty?
Answer: I feel that beauty is just a state of mind. Some people may think a person is pretty and the person may feel that they are the uglyist thing on earth beauty is all in the mind if you carry your self like you are pretty other people will treat you like you are pretty if your pretty but just don't care about your apperance because you feel you are ugly then other people will start treating you like that so i feel it is all in the mind.

5. What is it about the skin that makes it return to its place? What property is this?
Answer: elastic, integumentary.

6. What are the risks of cosmetic surgery? Would you ever do it? What would you be willing to risk for cosmetic surgery? How long wills it last?
Answer: the risk of plastic surgery are you may look a lot worst after the surgery or you can possibly die from it, No I would not consider plastic surgery because I am happy with my body, you would be risking your life because if you don’t like what you see you will continue to get plastic surgery until you feel your appearance has changed, A lifetime.

7. Someone in the video is quoted as saying that “make-up can make anyone prettier.” Do you agree with this? Support your answer.
Answer: I disagree because I feel make up can make a person appearance change but it doesn’t mean they look any better with or without make-up your appearance never changes.

8. Do you think that there are cultural differences in how cosmetic surgery is viewed?
Answer: yes, some cultures look at plastic surgery differently for example caucasians may want to have plastic surgery so they can look younger or remove extra skin or wrinkles and african americans may have it to remove extra skin or fat but i feel that either way it goes everybody has platic surgery for the same reasons because they are not happy about their bodies and they feel that plastic surgery will change all of that.

YOu did not follow the directions for this assignment. Each question should be answered with a paragraph where you explain your thoughts and opinions. Questions 2, 3, 4, and 8 need this fixed about them.
