Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?


Over the past few years scientists have made major discoveries in the field of technology. Recent scientists’ evidence suggest that beauty is objective and quantifiable due to a remarkable scientist, who believes that he has discovered a formula for measuring beauty.

A doctor has discovered a practical way of measuring beauty, which he calls the mask. This is a series of lines and shapes making up a face. There are specific set distances between all the features and the outside shapes and it shows the exact proportions that the ideal beauty face should have.
By lying the mask over a photograph of a face, it is possible to see how attractive someone is. The more a face fits the mask, the more beautiful it is said to be. The fact that the mask can measure beauty of men women and people of different races makes it a particular useful instrument.

On the other hand, it is alarming to think that if we all start changing the way we look, there may seen be thousands of individuals wandering the streets of any single city looking exactly the same. But it is even more alarming that people may begin to think that they are unattractive if their face does not have the proportions of the mask.
This would be a great mistake because there are two sorts of beauty; one is the beauty of the mask, the measurable beauty of the face. The other sort is the kind of that we see when we love someone, a much more powerful, enduring beauty that comes from the heart.
Taking both sides of the argument into consideration, I would say that although we usually tend to appreciate beauty through out our heart it can not be denied that a new science the science of attraction has come to the conclusion that beauty is measurable and not as the romantic believe in the eye of the beholder.

Carlos, there are no reading reports for the last month a half here. I'm afraid you'll fall way behind and won't be able to sit for the final at the end of the year. Please, try to catch up these days.
