Abstract
This paper reviews what was once considered the definition of beauty. According to the paper, this definition has totally changed. The paper discusses how the new consumer is a not a white skinned blond, instead he/she can have any skin color and come from any ethnic background.
From the Paper
"Max Factor was trying to cash in on the celebrity power of Hollywood stars by putting their pictures on product covers and using their faces in advertising. But it was not long before the mistake was realized as cross-cultural misunderstanding began affecting sales. One consultant quoted "a gentleman from India" who explained the problem aptly when he stated, "It would never do to glamourise ... a product by utilising a lady in a shimmering white saree with a western style of hair dress in any of the Southern cities [of India]. A cutting of her crowning glory and the donning of white cloth are the insignia of widowhood, a deeper calamity than which there can be none for the Indian woman." He further insisted, "When talking about advertising in foreign countries we should in general forget about American contents, presentation and media of advertising messages." [2] "

Abstract
This paper discusses advertising and beauty. Without doubt, advertising in our society today is very much connected to the social construction of beauty. This is clear when we observe how women are exploited for the sake of selling products. There are certain stereotypical portrayals of women in advertisements that make the sexism and social construction of beauty in our society transparently clear. These ads are designed to sell products -- as well as to send certain values to the culture.

Abstract
This paper claims that while the immediate future looks not too promising for this industry, the long term looks good. Three main reasons for this statement are given. First, the cruise line industry has been a leader in the steady growth being experienced by the entire travel segment for the last ten years. Second, the industry is seeing expanding markets in Europe and new markets emerging in Asia. The third reason to expect long term growth is that the cruise lines are now offering their customers a wider variety packages at different lengths and price ranges. This has helped them to expand their market into lower income level clients. An overview of the market is provided.
From the Paper
"The key strengths of the cruise line industry are its high desirability among consumers. Cruises appeal to the American public's sense of adventure. The second strength is that cruise lines have shown a great ability to adapt their product to meet popular social trends and expand into untapped markets. The recent trend to offer a wider variety of entertainments and the recent popularity of "Theme Cruises" has been a valuable asset. The offering of various priced cruises is also evidence of the industry's ability to adapt and as a result expand their market. The expansion into foreign market is further evidence of this strength. The cruise line industry has demonstrated the ability to not only identify new markets, but to capture them as well. A third strength is that the cruise line industry operates at 100% capacity (Farley, 2000). In order to expand their market cruise lines need only to build more ships. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the message in Naomi Wolf's book, "The Beauty Myth", explaining that Wolf puts forward the provocative argument that the ideal of beauty in modern culture is nothing but the latest method of keeping women in a subservient role within the patriarchy. She sees the ubiquitous images of female beauty that pervade our culture as being part of a vicious backlash against the successes of feminism, arguing that this beauty myth functions to keep women convinced that they are worth less than men, and thus maintains the current economic system.

Abstract
This paper explores why physical beauty is an important part of finding somebody attractive. The paper goes through why, from an evolutionary standpoint, physical beauty is important, and how infatuation is evidence that physical beauty is engrained in us, both from a societal standpoint and from our early childhood experiences.
From the Paper
"Despite all talk of "beauty in the eye of the beholder," one must still agree that beauty- namely, physical beauty- is still an important part of what kind of people we find attractive. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," might be true in terms of some people's preferences, but really, what we term "beautiful" is based upon the agreement of many beholders, over certain periods of time and based in our evolutionary history. Our preferences as a culture (the American culture) change slightly, but it all goes back to the fact that we do place a lot of emphasis on the physical when it comes to choosing mates."

Abstract
The paper is about how the perception of beauty has changed and how people from different cultures define beauty. It offers a look at how this has changed through philosophy, culture, and society.
From the Paper
"One of the greatest beauties is the beauty of people. It can be expressed both in inner and outer qualities. Outer beauty has been admired in all cultures whether it is the pure natural human form or the use of attractive costumes and paints. Whereas people's inner beauty expresses itself through their character. The standards of what is beautiful might vary from culture to culture and from time to time, but there is something that does not change - all human beings crave for beauty. No matter how different is the vision of beauty in the different cultures, everybody wants to be beautiful and attractive, because to be beautiful is to be desired. Since people existed, they were exposed to the subjective standards of beauty and that most of the people strive to live up the beauty ideals of their society."
