I need to pick three countries/times and show the differences of their thoughts of beauty. I was aiming for a country in the Middle East, something in Asia and maybe beauty in another part of the world or just three distinct times in American history.
Could you please give me some examples or links to this information?What is beauty defined as in other countries/times?
You could do three examples of body modification
burmese long neck women(asia)

Mursi woman with famous lip disk(africa)

Mauritania's 'wife-fattening' (arab-perhaps middle east)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/342990鈥?/a>
alternately you could do the USA and Europe
corseting in Victorian times
the boyish body popular in the 1920's -focus especially on flappers
and then the play-boy bunny/barbie ideal of 36-24-36 (36 inch bust circumference, 24 inch waist circumference, 36 inch hip circumference)(1960's-present)
maybe tie this into society's view of women, and women's view of themselves in these times and places to make it a stellar paper.
