\"\"<\/a>Blog #1: “Liking What You See”<\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0\u00a0 In the heated debate over callignosia, many perspectives evaluate the pros and cons of its effectiveness in society. Throughout this short documentary, twenty-three people share their ethics, religion, science, and personal experience concerning the use of callignosia and how beauty should be perceived. According to neurologist Joseph Weingartner, \u201cThe condition is what we call an associative agnosia, rather than an apperceptive one.\u201d In other words, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t interfere with one\u2019s visual perspective, only with the ability to recognize what one sees.\u201d The overlapping of character relationships may be seen, particularly with Tamera Lyons and Maria deSouza. This documentary can be found personable and enlightening; its fluid construction allows readers the opportunity to question their beliefs and doubts about beauty throughout the entire selection.<\/p>\n

Response:\u00a0 Sounds like a Communist plot to me\u2026<\/p>\n

According to one of my dearest friend\u2019s younger sister\u2019s Facebook status, \u201cA 15\ufeff year old\ufeff girl holds hands with\ufeff\ufeff her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13.\ufeff People\ufeff call\ufeff another Guy fat. No one knows he has a\ufeff serious disease causing him to be overweight.\ufeff People call an old man ugly. No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. People call a woman bald but they don’t know she has cancer. \u201c I kid you not, I read this status two days before I even read the article (talk about d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu), and all I can think about is that it is true. As much as I hate to admit it, first impressions do count, and unfortunately, most first impressions are based off of what we see. Honestly, I\u2019m not a huge fan of living in a society that is consumed by its physical appearance, but like many others in agreement I have learned to accept it.\u00a0 In the article Richard Hamill claims, \u201cThe parents were doing their best, but you can\u2019t isolate your kids from the world; they live in an image-obsessed culture.\u201d As a way to \u201cdo their best\u201d many parents, such as Tamera Lyons\u2019, referred to callignosia as a means to protect their children, hoping that they would be \u201cbetter equipped to deal with the issue of personal appearance\u201d at an older age. However, I must ask, how can a child be \u201cbetter equipped to deal with the issue of personal appearance\u201d when they were never given a prior opportunity to deal with it before? Personally, I am a firm believer in learning from mistakes and life experiences\u2014without them; I would not be the person I am today.<\/p>\n

Now, regarding the topic of beauty: I personally believe that most people know that they are not truly \u201cugly,\u201d but the self knowledge of all their imperfections prevent them from believing that they are truly \u201cbeautiful.\u201d\u00a0 People are always telling us to \u201clive life to the fullest,\u201d but if you never see the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly, then you are not really living life to its full potential. Furthermore, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then what happens to beauty when the beholder is blind?<\/p>\n
