"Beauty in the eyes of the looking", well, well. We are all calling themselves modern and free people, we still exist in the world of stereotypes imposed by upbringing, media and traditions. External appearance questions are no exception.
The artist Esther Henig decided on a concrete example, to figure out what it is "bodily country studies", and with which it is eaten, and why in different groups of people there are completely different ideas, about what is beautiful, and what is not very. A photograph of the average American girl was sent to marketers in 18 different countries with a request to reflect her figure in accordance with the internal beauty criteria. That's what came out of it.Original
