 Beauty ideals around the world

 

Source: Pinterest Long Neck girl – Chiang Mai - Thailand

When talking about beauty you should accept new ideas. What you consider beautiful or attractive, could be offensive, unusual or even ugly for another person. There is not a final true beauty because you cannot compare different types and concepts of beauty. Not everybody has the same ideals. We are different, so is beauty.

In Ethiopia for example, the women of the Karo community have to wear scars on their chest and stomachs to be considered beautiful and attract a husband. The scarring process starts when they are little girls and when a woman finishes the process, she can get married and have children.

For a man in the Maori community from New Zealand to be considered a warrior, and therefore, more attractive to women from their tribe, they have to wear traditional tattoos on their bodies, especially on their faces.

In Myanmar, in South-East Asia, in the Kayan community, they consider a woman beautiful according to the number of rings she wears around her neck. All women start to wear rings at the age of 5 and their neck is absolutely transformed by the heavy rings. As they grow older and taller, they have to wear more rings which gives them an elongated neck appearance.

In Mauritania in West Africa, being skinny (very thin) is definitely not a sign of beauty. There a beautiful woman has to have curves… big curves. Young girls have to eat a lot of food and get fat. Then they can be considered beautiful and get a husband.

In America and Europe, the standards are different. A beautiful person (man or woman) has to be skinny, tall, good looking, perfect teeth and perfect clothes. Some people do not feel beautiful so they spend a lot of money on plastic surgery, hair extensions, hair colour, gyms, diet and cosmetics. However, many other people do not have to do these things to feel beautiful.

 

Everyone has a different opinion about what makes someone beautiful. But it’s important to remember that the person you are on the inside is more important than how you look. As we say in English, ‘beauty is only skin deep!’.

My future

A few years ago when I was in 8th grade, I worried a lot about my future. Every day, I thought “What am I going to do when I leave School?” I didn’t feel excited about the future – I just felt very scared. One reason was that at that time I found school difficult. I usually studied hard and listened in class (well, I thought so), but my teachers never seemed to be very happy with my work – or with me.

When I think back to those times now, I remember that sometimes I didn’t concentrate very well and I also handed in work too late. This went on for most of the year, but then near the end of the year something happened. I suddenly knew what my dream job was. I love animals and I decided that I wanted to become a vet! To do that I had to go to a good university. And to go to a good university, I had to get good marks and do well in my exams.

From 9th grade onwards I worked very hard every day in class. I studied for hours at home and my parents even told me to work less! At the end of that year, I won a prize for my good marks. My family were so proud of me and I felt great. But then, I started to worry again. I thought “What will happen if I don’t get good results next year?” and “If I didn’t go to university, what would I do?”. Everyone told me that I just had to do my best and to stop worrying. So that’s exactly what I did!

I often think back to 8th grade when I was so scared. Now I feel much more confident and I’m looking forward to the future!

Social media news

 

Many of us these days get our news online or through social media. There are many advantages of this. First, we can get news ‘in real-time’. Eyewitnesses can post information online about an event as it happens, using their smartphones to take photos or videos. We also have 24-hour online news services which keep us constantly updated.

Secondly, we can get news wherever we are using a smartphone or tablet. We can read it on the bus or the train at any time of day or night. Thirdly, we have a lot more information at our fingertips from many different sources, international as well as national. This means we have a better understanding of what is going on in the world as a whole. Reading different reports on the same news story also means we get a more balanced view of events.

On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. First, sources are not always reliable and there are many stories that are not completely true. It is sometimes difficult to know what to believe. 

Secondly, a lot of news shared on social media is not serious news, for example, celebrity gossip. If people spend their time reading this, they have less time to spend on real news stories.

Finally, the Internet has been bad for newspaper publishers because people are reading their news for free, instead of paying for newspapers. One simple truth, however, is that we are living in the Information Age and the way we receive and give information is constantly changing.

What do carnivorous plants eat?


It’s a known fact that some dinosaurs ate only plants, and some dinosaurs ate only meat. Dinosaurs that ate only meat are called carnivores. Did you know that some plants are carnivores too? Several types of plants eat animals, so they are called carnivorous plants. How could a plant eat an animal?

Pitcher plants

One type of carnivorous plant looks like a small pitcher. It’s even called a pitcher plant. This plant is able to collect water to help it digest its food.

Some pitcher plants live off of animal droppings. Different kinds of pitcher plants have different diets. Not all carnivorous plants eat waste.

Almost all carnivorous plants eat insects. Ants are especially easy for pitcher plants to catch. When ants smell the sweet nectar in the plants, they can’t resist it!

Pitcher plant nectar is wet and slippery. The ants slide and fall down into the pitcher, and then the plant closes its lid. Before long, the ants drown, and the plant begins digesting them.

Pitcher plants also have digestive systems, just like humans and animals. Like human stomachs, the plants also have digestive liquids.

Some pitcher plants don’t look like pitchers or even plants. Some pitcher plants have bright colours, so they look like pretty decorations. These plants eat moths, wasps, beetles, ants, flies and butterflies.

Pitcher plants may start out small, but they as grow, the pitchers get bigger. Some of them can even catch and eat a mouse!

Some types of pitcher plants are called monkey cups. They collect lots of water, and their prey drown in it. Monkeys sometimes drink out of these plants.

Another kind of carnivorous plants are Cobra lilies. They look like snakes. They trap insects in their leaves and digest them, but they don’t catch water. The roots are so strong Cobra lilies can even survive to a fire!

Venus flytrap

Other carnivorous plants are called fly-catchers, like the Venus flytraps. Venus flytraps are the most well-known type of carnivorous plants. They catch insects in their small mouths. When a bug is caught, the traps close like jaws. So the insect can’t escape.

Even though Venus flytraps’ jaws are small, they can catch bugs that are larger.

Sometimes they catch other things. Some people have seen Venus flytraps catch small lizards or frogs.

Venus flytrap can seem terrifying. People should not be afraid of this plant.

Sundew

Some other kinds of carnivorous plants are actually beautiful. Their leaves can be colourful and fun, so the plants may look harmless. One pretty carnivorous plant is called the sundew because its leaves have drops on them.

Just like the other carnivorous plants, sundews make sweet nectar to catch insects.

The drops of the sundew are made of gluey substances. Each leaf of the sundew has many sticky spikes that grab the bugs once they approach.

Sometimes the leaves of sundew catch more than one bug at a time. For example, a simple plant may catch three dragonflies at once. The sundew folds its leaves over the dragonflies to make sure they don’t escape.

The Little Prince

Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primaeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.

In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that, they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion”.

I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a coloured pencil, I succeeded in making my first drawing. It looked something like this:

 

I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: “Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”.

My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could see it clearly.

They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

 

The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and its tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

So then I chose another profession and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world, and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance, I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.

So I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accident with my plane in the desert of Sahara, six years ago. Something was broken in my engine. And as I had with me neither a mechanic nor any passengers, I set myself to attempt the difficult repairs all alone.

The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand, a thousand miles from any human habitation. I was more isolated than a shipwrecked sailor on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Thus you can imagine my amazement, at sunrise, when I was awakened by an odd little voice. It said:

If you, please draw me a sheep!”. 

“What!”

“Draw me a sheep!”

I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck. I blinked my eyes hard. I looked carefully all around me. And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me.

Here you may see the best portrait that, later, I was able to make of him. But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model.

  

 

That, however, is not my fault the grown-ups discouraged me in my painter ‘s career when I was six years old, and I never learned to draw anything, except boas from the outside and boas from the inside.

Remember, I had crashed in the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited region. And yet my little man seemed neither to be straying uncertainly among the sands nor to be fainting from fatigue or hunger or thirsty or fear. Nothing about him gave any suggestion of a child lost in the middle of the desert.

I said to him:

“But what are you doing here?”

And in answer he repeated:

“If you please draw me a sheep…”

Absurd as it might seem to me, a thousand miles from any human habitation and in danger of death, I took out of my pocket a sheet of paper and my fountain-pen.

I told the little chap that I did not know how to draw. He answered me:

“That doesn’t matter. Draw me a sheep.”

But  I had never drawn a sheep. So I drew for him one of the two pictures I had drawn so often. It was that of the boa constrictor from the outside. And I was astounded to hear the little fellow greet it with,

“No, no, no! I do not want an elephant inside a boa constrictor. A boa constrictor is a very dangerous creature, and an elephant is very cumbersome. Where I live, everything is very small. What I need is a sheep. Draw me a sheep.”

So then I made a drawing.

 He looked at it carefully, then he said:

“No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another.”

So I made another drawing.

 

My friend smiled gently and indulgently.  “You see yourself,” he said, “that is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns”.

So then I did my drawing over once more. But it was rejected too.

By this time my patience was exhausted because I  was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart. So I tossed off this drawing.

And I threw out an explanation with it.

“This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside.”

I was very surprised to see a light break over the face of my young judge:

“That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think that this sheep will have to have a great deal of grass?

“Why?”.

“Because where I live everything is very small…”.

“There will surely be enough grass for him,” I said. “It is a very small sheep that I have given you.”

He bent his head over the drawing.

“Not so small that -look! He was gone to sleep…”

And that is how I made the acquaintance of the Little Prince.
