They say beauty is how you feel inside and it shows in your eyes. It is not something physical yet beauty pageants have become a billion dollar industry. It is everywhere, in radios, TVs, web and in the streets. In fact, people nowadays, spend money just to join beauty pageants that's why they value their physical appearance too much. They have spent time and their hard-earned money just for fashion, cosmetics, hair styling and even cosmetic surgery. It also claims that this pursuit of physical beauty even encourages some women to diet to the point of harming themselves. It is not a healthy competition, it only promotes capitalism. I bet you've seen a lot of commercials done by these girls. Pageants is detrimental to self esteem causing sometimes... mental disorders. Most beauty queens, despite being considered as role models, often serve their reigns saddled with scandals and controversies. Beauty queens who willingly flows with the “trade” of the contests, often seen with the organizers or the judges before the event and those who after winning, is seen on the internet without their clothes off. They claim that they just want to contribute peace in this world. When not all could participate in such events and there is a clear downlooking of other participants. After winning what would then happen? Nothing. Why do they have titles such as “Miss World”, “Miss international” and “Miss Universe”? They clearly don't even contribute to the international community any big help. They just show off their million dollar beauty to let them be respected.
Out of 196 countries in the world, only 89 participants have joined as a representative of their respective countries in the recently concluded Miss Universe beauty pageant. Never in the history of Miss Universe had all countries participated. Due to some reasons like lack of funds, no sponsorships, lack of accompanying delegations, racism, and some political reasons, a number of countries do not have the opportunity to participate. Statistics prove that most countries from the Middle East like Lebanon did not join the 2011 Miss Universe beauty pageant because of the on-going war. It shos that only some of these many countries can join these pageants thus, onky those countries established and known in the industry and those influencial.
People don’t know that pageants are also way of discouraging their people especially the children in following their country’s native tradition. A sample of this is the people in Arab countries. As what we all know, it is a part of Arab tradition that women’s body should not be exposed to anyone, the body is considered sacred, that is the reason why most of their women wear veil to cover their bodies – including their hair and that only their eyes are visible to the public. As what we all know, a part of beauty pageants is the swimsuit portion where the contestants wear bikinis that usually show skin. This shows that some participants from Arab countries somehow disobey their tradition by showing off skin. It is a great insult for the people of the country they represent. In fact, there was once an incident that an Arab country participant in a pageant was sued with a case because of this reason so this country haven't sent a participant in any international beauty pageants.
Pageants may give a country different ways to be discovered not only by their natives but also by foreigners or what we call tourists. But despite these attractions are destruction of themselves and their youth's knowledge about their culture, a way of racism and showing off. It doesn't really help much and it doesn't really contribute much as what it suppose to say, it is only the winner who benefits the fame and glory.
