The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights states in Article 2 : Everyone is entitled to all rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
The most powerful critique of the beauty comes from the women’s movement. In their view women’s interest in beautification are contributing factor in the oppression of women. Make up is a symbol of this oppression. Women’s narcissism impoverishes her instead of enriching annihilates herself. Beauty is no substitute for hard work; and that make up can substitute for creating a work of art. Beauty is political. Therefore, beauty in this view is not goodness, but evil; not an investment but a waste; not truth but a lie, as the satirist had always said; not wisdom but stupidity; not fun but political; not life but dangerous to life and health; not freedom but a trap; not a solution but a major social problem.
What about natural beauty?
