Questions on video

Do you think that the symmetry test conducted on the baby was flawed? How? Describe how you would design an experiment that could fool the baby and skew the results. Yes. I don’t think you can get the information their looking for from that experiment. I don’t think you can tell if a baby thinks who is more beautiful just because he stares at one of them.
What is missing from this video about beauty? That beauty is more than yours is looks its about personality too. The video showed more white women than any other color or gender. I think the video was missing the whole point of beauty because it’s more to it then surgery, working out or looks.
What are features that might break the "typical" beauty rules? How are these different from the "typical" beauty rules? A feature that will break the typical beauty rules is clarity. Another is symmetrical. I think they are different because everyone is not perfectly symmetrical when it come to their body or have perfect clarity.
How does this video make you feel about beauty? It makes me feel that the people on this video have a different definition of the word beauty. I don’t think you need surgery on your body to become beautiful.
What is it about the skin that makes it return to its place? What property is this?
What are the risks of cosmetic surgery? Would you ever do it? What would you be willing to risk for cosmetic surgery? How long will it last? You can lose a lot of blood. I wouldn’t ever get cosmetic surgery. I wouldn’t be willing to risk anything for cosmetic surgery.
Someone in the video is quoted as saying "make-up can make anyone prettier." Do you agree with this? Support your answer. I don’t agree with that opinion. I think some people just use make-up to hide what they don’t like about themselves.
Do you think that there are cultural differences in how cosmetic surgery is viewed? Yes. Some cultures are against surgery and changing your body. Some people think it is wrong because god made you that way for a reason.
