    Beauty is a very indefinite concept‚ every person has a different idea of what they view as attractive. So when an entire civilization of people collectively define such a word; an automatic categorization of the physical appearances‚ personality traits‚ fashion sense‚ social class‚ and attitude of the people separates and divides them into what is acceptable and what is not.
