So... I'm going to be doing a 15 minute speech on the perception of beauty using a PowerPoint presentation.

I'm working on an outline and this is what I'm thinking about doing right now:
1. Discuss how beauty is in the eye of the beholder - culture, beliefs, backgrounds, etc condition what a person views to be beautiful
2. Demonstrate what other countries/cultures and time periods have determined to be 'beautiful' - for ex. foot binding, voluptuous women, wide-set foreheads, pale skin, tanned skin, etc
3. Talk about the general perception of beauty today - influenced by media - stick-thin models, wrinkle-free skin, etc
4. Discuss how our perception of beauty influences people and children - anorexia, Botox injections in children, and so forth

What do you think? Would this be a pretty interesting presentation in your opinion?
Is there anything I could add? And do you have any good suggestions?
 
Well ,whatever your perception of beauty is this much is true Old people are not atractive to anyone , their loved ,and deeply , and mabey even deeper than a young person knows how to love , but not atractive . where as a young girl ,in lean form, is atractive to anyone , mabey not the most atractive but, huma huma I mean wshi wswo . those are the facts ~ TV isn't whats influensing men to feel this way , men feel this way , and TV reflects that . it's the basic laws of nature . We don't want to be atracted to the most beautiful . after all we don't stand a chance of getting her so why be attracted to her ,,,but we are and thats the truth .if your lucky enough to be Brad pitt . it doesn't matter who your attracted too . but if your the rest of us pimple faced big nosed floppy eared bumbeling goons . it would be better if we could just think good looking girls were just ugly . but Casey Anthony , compulsive lier that she is . You'd be better off dead then to have ever got tangled up in her web , is drop dead Good lookin . Go figer . so when she needs a ride , you fall all over yourself trying to be the first guy to open the door for her . such is life
 
Yeah it's looking pretty good.

Maybe you can start with a definition, what is beauty? why do we like it etc

Although it might be a little too philosophically minded.

Edit: you could end it on an upper instead? Thatd be a little more original: something about how the world is getting more beautiful or how beauty is all around us lol, i think itd be a little harder to pull off though.
