Beauty Pageants vs. Culture?

For school I am required to write a paper about my opinion on beauty pageants. I was wondering what offenses these pageants have against certain cultures. (for example: some cultures find it inappropriate for woman to wear anything slightly revealing etc.) What are some examples of such offenses?

Also, what kind of standards are you required to meet in order to participate in a pageant? (I read something about one woman in another country who had her crown revoked because she lived with her boyfriend before they were married?) Thanks!
 
Personally I don't find adult beauty pageants offensive. But I find child beauty pageants deeply questionable. They sexualise young children. I can't comprehend the parents mentality, I think it borders on child abuse.
