BEAUTY

Beauty


Beauty can be goodness or perfection not only for visual perception but any kind of perception that human are capable of.


Beauty for different people can be different things even though there seem to be some standard forced to what beauty really is. For example, the Sleeping Beauty seems to represent the standard beauty of all women. At the same time, this standard of beauty dominates other aspects of beauty with its elements.


Beauty is actually the colonisation of discourse. Because what counts as beauty and what doesn’t is determined by the hegemonic group within a society, the voice of the other group in the society with less power on discourse doesn’t have its say about what beauty is.


For example, Beauty in communication is considered to the “two-way symmetrical” communication. J. E. Grunig is the father of the two-way symmetrical communication who defines his invention as the communication in which the needs of both (or all) parties are equally satisfied. On the other hand, E. L. Toth may argue that beauty in communication is the stage in which communication produces the most cash value for the communicator. Now whose communication is a beauty?


Therefore, beauty, like reality and the scientific and philosophical core essence of the world, is again not static but shifting and unstable in regards to human interpretation which is also unstable in regards to many thing else around them.
