Lately I got a chance to read People magazine’s most recent compilation of " The 50 Most Beautiful People in the World. " It was fabulous. In addition to offering helpful grooming tips, the issue involves an attempt to answer one of the most difficult questions of our time; Which is ultimately more influential, nature or nurture?
Consider first the extreme nurturists, who abstain from the notion that anything is biologically fixed. There’s John Watson, famous for the statement: " Give me a child and let me control the total environment in which he is raised, and I will turn him into whatever I wish. "
A nurture viewpoint is also advanced by TV star Jenna Elfman, who attributes her beauty to drinking 100 ounces of water a day, and using a moisturizer that costs $ 1,000 a pound. However, even a beginner in the study of human developmental biology might easily note that no degree of expensive moisturizers would get, say, me on People’s beauty list.
Naturally, similarly strong opinions come from the opposing, nature faction — the genetic determinists among the Most Beautiful. Perhaps the cockiest of this school is Josh Brolin, an actor whose statement could readily serve as a manifesto for those in his profession: " I was given my dad’s good genes. "
One searches the pages for a middle ground, for the interdisciplinary synthesizer who perceives the contributions of both nature and nurture. At last, we find Monica, a singer, who has an absolutely wondrous skill for applying makeup. This, at first, seems like just more nurture propaganda. But where does she get this cosmetic aptitude? Her mother supplies the answer: it’s something that’s inborn. One gasps at the insight; There is a genetic influence on how one interacts with the environment. Too bad a few more people can’t think this way when figuring out what genes have to do with intelligence, substance abuse, or violence.
In matters of human beauty, hardwired preferences matter but can be overcome. Novelist George Eliot was strikingly homely, but her magnetic character inspired Henry James to write in a letter; " She is magnificently ugly — deliciously hideous. She has a dull grey eye, a vast pendulous nose, a huge mouth, and full of uneven teeth. . . Now in this vast ugliness resides a most powerful beauty which, in a very few minutes, steals forth and charms the mind, so that you end as I ended, in falling in love with her. "
The article suggests that People magazine regularly______.
