    Beauty Competitions‚ also known as Beauty Contests or Beauty Pageants degrade women to mere objects. Such a competition is the exploitation of women by men and other women. A competition based on skill or ability is all right. However in the case of a beauty competition‚ no skill or ability is involved. Beauty is supposed to be the criteria for such a competition. There is nothing wrong with judging people primarily on their physical prowess. We do this all the time in competitive sport‚ where fitness

    Physical beauty to inner beauty. Beauty only exists in perception‚ but not too many people are aware of that and judge a lot of people through the way they look and personality.
