答案 Should College Students Attend Beauty Contest? Truth, goodness and beauty are always things man aspires to-that’s the nature of man Beauty contest is deeply rooted in man’s yearning for beauty and there is no exception with college students. Therefore, some say it is quite natural that college students attend beauty contest to make their life colorful and beautiful. Some others, however, disagree with that I am on the side of the latter attitude, namely, in my view, college students should be cautious to attend beauty contest. As we all know, beauty contest promotes a kind of ideal beauty, which is only possessed by a minority of college students. It adds to the pressure on all students, especially girls, to conform to it This can be very harmful to them by encouraging dieting, eating disorders and cosmetic surgery, or simply by making them feel inadequate and ugly, and thus having a relatively low self-esteem. Besides, as college students, the first priority is to obtain plenty of knowledge and acquire necessary skills so that they can support themselves after graduation. If a college student does wish to become part of the entertainment industry, it may be beneficial for him/her to take part in these activities, for the contests can not only broaden his/her horizon beyond books, but also strengthen his/her power of communication. But the truth is that most of college students won’t end up in working in show business. In this case, attending a beauty contest will mean nothing but distractions to their studies and disturbance to their daily life. Then what’s the good point of attending it? Moreover, beauty contest emphasizes too much on physical appearance. It can mislead many students, especially female students, to believe that beauty is all-powerful. Beauty means money. They pay lots of attention to putting make-up, pursuing fashion or even chasing good looks through risky plastic surgery rather than expanding knowledge, enhancing abilities and cultivating inner beauty. In my view, this is really a bad tendency. In a word, beauty is but skin deep; beauty contest does more harm than good. College students should really "look before they leap" when deciding whether to attend a beauty contest or not.
