Oh, thought of something else in response to Thoa's latest blog: anyone see the movie "Real Women Have Curves"? It's a good one with America Ferrara about a Mexican-American girl struggling with her body image, her family's traditional values, and fitting into American society.
As we've talked about in other classes, the standard of beauty in a particular culture seems to arise as the most difficult type to attain. When it comes to the United States, though, with such diversity, different standards seem to apply in a variety of ways to people of specific races and ethnic groups. Could this variety eventually throw to the wayside a single view of what's beautiful? Or does it simply provide contrast to the group of people in power as ways not to be?
