Ravitz, Jessica. "Dumbest Question in the Universe." CNN. N.p., 14 Sept. 2011. Web. 14 Sept. 2011.
As some of you may know the Miss Universe pageant was held on Monday, the 12th of September. Before the official crowning the finalists are each asked a final question. Angola representative, Leila Lopes, was asked the question of ""If you could change one of your physical characteristics, which one would it be and why?"Lopes responded by saying she was perfectly happy with the body she was given and wouldn't change a thing. And of course, everybody stood and applauded her. Lopes was later crowned Miss Universe 2011.The article also goes on to give statistics about cosmetic surgery, eating disorders, and self-confidence issues in the general public.
The authors main audience was most likely mothers and teenage daughters. The only problem I have with this article is the fact that the author did not actually watch the Miss Universe Pageant.Overall, this article was informative not only because it states who won the Miss Universe Pageant, this article also goes in depth about plastic surgery and eating disorders that men and women alike go through to reach the unattainable goal of "perfect." I think that this could be a potentially good starting point for a research paper for me or anybody else. This paper could be about eating disorders, cosmetic surgery, or any other procedures/actions taken by the public to create, in their eyes, "perfection."
