Abstract
This research highlights the effects of westernization, through globalization, on womens
ideal body image and the resulting universal standard of beauty. Viewpoints from both positive
and negative directions are proposed and justified for in this paper by the researcher. Readers
will find quotes by other researchers of similar topics, intriguing facts with data evidence, and
examples of situations in sub-categories. The researcher has a personal connection with this
topic, as she is an Asian woman living in the 21st century in America, and she also portrays her
views and opinions on societys beauty standards. This researcher paper, although including a
personal viewpoint, also showcases the facts and others perceptions. In the future, the researcher
might further advance in this research in college.

Introduction
Beauty has many perceptions. Its meaning is as broad as the universe, depending on each
individual. Everyone has different expectations for how a woman should act and look in order to
be considered beautiful. There is no universal definition of beauty. Each continent, country and
culture has its own unique presentation of their beautiful women, influenced and developed by
nature, history, geography and cultural interactions. Prior to the wave of globalization after
World War Two, there was no such thing as an international standard of beauty. But, this paper
focuses on the impact of globalization and the cultural concepts of beauty, specifically
comparing the modern Euro-American woman with women of other ethnicities. Through mass
media, technology, and less restricting foreign policies, a global perception of beauty is starting
to formulate amongst women due to the increased worldwide access of information.
Globalization, but specifically westernization, has had a profound effect on the cultural concepts
of beauty, merging a once diverse definition of what makes a woman beautiful into one very
Euro-American image.
The author chose this topic to research because of her interest in cultures and the
underlying influences that affect each one. An Asian/Pacific Islander woman herself, the author
was born in the Philippines, partially raised in Italy, and partially raised in the United States. Due
to her diverse background, her perception of beauty and how a woman should present herself is
significantly different from those of the women in each of the places she has lived. There are so
many alluring news articles about how westernization has taken over culture, especially
regarding appearance and how a diverse beauty standard is now forming into one universal
impression. The importance of, and reasons for beauty-related cultural adaptations are major
topics argued and presented in this paper.

Methodology
The research done to conduct this paper is highly both quantitative and qualitative. For
the researcher to be able to conceive original and reliable sources for data amongst the women in
Tallwood high school, the researcher created a survey regarding plastic surgery. The survey
question is based on whether or not surgical body modifications will be endured in their lifetime
or not. To attain data from actual medical facilities and surgical doctors, the researcher used the
databases from a college library. The statistical data will be even more reliable than those merely
found from the Internet. As for quality, the researcher herself has conducted interviews, looking
for multiple perspectives amongst women and young teenage girls. These interviews will include
questions concerning the interviewees approval or disapproval of surgical body modifications
and skin lightening, their own personal experience relating to this topic, and their view on
societys social standards of today. Other great resources in which the researcher attained her
information from are from current books and articles. Timelines are also crucial for this research
to support arguments being projected in this paper from the researcher. Lastly, one of the most
important resources that the researcher was able to attain, were voice recordings/interviews taken
by reporters and researchers that are involved with similar topics that the paper is about. These
recordings reveal the opinions and perspectives of women who are doctors and celebrities in
Korea, and their personal stories.
Limitations
The study of how globalization has impacted the cultural concept of beauty is a
significant research for it encompasses global social issues, most especially within womens self
esteem. The Euro-American media profoundly influences women across the globe on the
definition of beautiful.

Experience: There is a lack of knowledge the researcher has with this topic since it is new to her
and therefore, almost all of the researchers information will be coming from other experts
research to support the arguments presented in this paper.
Estimated Statistical Data: The researcher of this paper is only a high school senior for she
cannot travel the world to attain the most reliable sources for her data. All data from this paper is
reliable although it is only limited to estimations. For example, there are no solid numbers
representing surgeries done within the United States, because of illegal and under the table
surgeries performed by both licensed and unlicensed doctors. Data received from surgical
medical facilities are not the full truth for many of them will lie about the actual amount of
surgeries done in their facility to protect the reputation.
Time: The research portion for this project is limited to a time span of only about two months.
For a full and in depth look on this study, the researcher must be conducting this study for years
to see the changes in media, numbers of surgical and skin lightening procedures, and societal
standards since these are constantly changing factors. Beautys perception has always been
changing throughout time so this kind of research must be kept an eye on.
Demographics of Study: The researcher has a limit on the points of view projected in this paper.
A method of data collection for this project is quantitative and students and faculty members of
Tallwood high school are the only surveyors and personal interviewees projected in this research.
The knowledge of these women is the only resource for plausible opinions and points of views.
This demographic can only give a rough sketch on a certain societys perspective on standards of
beauty because the researcher is from todays young generation.

Literature Review
The resources in this research paper come from different types of sources. Theses
resources include online articles, research papers evaluating similar topic, a timeline, statistical
data, a book, voice recordings, and personal interviews and reports covering this topic.
Online Articles
The researcher of this paper was highly focused on obtaining articles that dealt with a lot
of perspective and opinionated notations but also with universal concepts that are commonly
appearing in other articles she has read. These connections are vital to the creation of the
arguments presented in this paper. These articles, coming from websites of organizations such as
the Globalization Seminar, Opposing Viewpoints, and the Intercultural Communication Research
Center, help to provide supporting details to uphold the researchers argument. Having other
researchers propose similar arguments and analyze how globalization has indeed affected and
almost infected the cultural concepts of beauty in many regions of the world, connects the
patterns talked about in the paper. The researcher wants to let her readers know that she is not the
only one stating such arguments, but that other researchers have also seen the patterns she has
noticed and analyzed for a conclusion. From these sources, the researcher learned about how
media is the main catalyst for our global world and westernization movement. She also
discovered that beauty plays a big role in the work place and even politics.
Topic Related Research Papers
Similar research papers serve as great outlines to guide the researcher, especially when
dealing with connections to patterns and theories. Fair and Lovely, a research paper conducted
by Gelles in 2011, helped to grasp this researchers conclusions and analytical thinking. Let it be
known that this research paper is not a copy nor re-written version of other papers that this

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

researcher has read. This paper and its arguments maybe similar with that of other researchers,
but only reflects the patterns of the analysis made. Many of their viewpoints and analytical
conclusions were similar. From these similarities, I learned that westernization can affect a
country positively, within the economy and development, and negatively, within the womens
mental and physical health.
Timeline
A very informative timeline created by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons was
used to gather information about the history of surgical procedures relating body modifications.
The timeline provides intriguing accomplishments and stories released to the media by doctors,
scientists, and researchers.
Statistical Data
The statistics for this research are definitely limited and surprisingly hard to find, at least
with accuracy. There will never be any concrete numbers when it comes to the statistics of this
topic research. Many doctors lie about how many surgical procedures they have actually
performed due to reputation harm. Although statistics are a limitation for the researcher, she uses
the statistical data obtained as evidence for her arguments and observed patterns. The most
accurate data collected for this research comes from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons
and the survey made by the researcher.
Book (Global Viewpoints: The Culture of Beauty)
The book focuses on women and how beauty standards have affected them, but also men
and young teens. This book is very informative in numbers, perspectives, opinions, and
analyzation. Countries are also compared and contrasted of concerning body modifications,
social standards of beauty, history, and many more. This was a big part of the researchers

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

information tool that provided a base and support for her analytical thinking and conclusions.
The writers of this book expanded their research by including the different time periods, defining
beauty throughout time, and the causes for such changes.
Voice Recordings
The voice recordings that the researcher used to conduct and develop her paper are
interviews organized by other researchers and reporters. As a part of the researchers limitation,
she could not travel to her targeted countries of study to personally interview women of different
cultures. Many of the patterns the researcher was able to conceive came from these voice
recordings. Women, especially those whose careers involve beauty and the media, are having to
make important life changing, even threatening, decisions about their body. Korean Pop stars are
one of the major targeted audiences of businesses in surgical practices. To be signed to an agent,
many of these women have undergone surgical procedures and skin lightening to pursue their
desired career, of which are being told to look more European.
Personal Interview
The researcher was able to interview an African American Woman named Cassidy Mule,
who is familiarized with the fashion marketing business, for she is the fashion and marketing
teacher at Tallwood High School, and a random American Teenage girl. The interview included
questions about the interviewees personal outlook on body modifications and skin-lightening of
the body, how much information they actually know to be accurate as opposed to those they have
only heard of, their opinions on societys constantly changing standards, and the negatives and
positives of such practices and activities. These personal interviews are significant to adding in
the varied and opposing view points observed by the researcher, allowing for a better
understanding of how people react to global issues like this one.

Discussion
Globalization and Westernization:
The controversy surrounding the idea that Westernization, through globalization, has
impacted the world positively or negatively has been in argumentation for many years. The
contracting views arise from each individuals stance in the world. Most worldwide businesses,
corporations, and parts of government are pro-globalization and westernization for it helps their
profits and the economy overall. Those who oppose westernization mostly feel it has a
demeaning impact on the uniqueness in the world. Whether or not the world is benefiting from
westernization through globalization, it seems to be moving forward with this intermingling of
cultures. An argument on the growing trade and improved communication technology in the
globalization process has led to an increasing level of globalization integration between cultures
(Giddens). It wasnt always like this. Before the global age, the standards of beauty varied. The
perception of beauty was more closely related with the traditional culture in that region, and with
specific representation. For example, the traditional beautiful woman in Korea was average to
overweight in size because it represented abundance (Han). In China and Japan, women who
were mildly plump with round faces were perceived to be beautiful because it represented good
health (Han; Jung & Forbes). In some parts of Africa, scarification of the skin was a beauty
process (Frith). But with todays less restricted foreign policies and the mass media, a universal
image of beauty has formed, portraying the Euro-American Women look (Yecheng). The colonial
and imperialistic eras have a great impact on why it is this Euro-American image that portrays
power, wealth, and success. Women are continually altering their appearance to meet this
universal standard of beauty.

Skin:
A primitive determining factor of a womans beauty and social status is highly showcased
by her skin, whether it is the complexion or the color. However, according to Gelles, the far
more controversial aspect of complexion is that of skin tone(2011). Skin lightening is a
universal activity many women around the world take part in. Throughout time, and even to this
day, many dark skinned women are obsessing the idealistic fair skin tone (Gelles). Light
attends to the look of wealth and power, and, lets be honest, people will do anything for
wealth and power. Advertised by media, the concept of having a light and fair skin tone is for
the beautiful and successful. This is reflected by the many models and actresses advertised on
televisions and popular magazines of such successful corporations, who are mostly European and
American. Skin tone also affects the careers of many Asian women, especially in South Korea,
China, India, and the Philippines (Is Beauty). Many actresses, models, and celebrities highly
depend on their image. Whats a big part of that? The skin. The lighter the skin, the more
attractive. Many pursuing models, actresses, and pop stars in Asia have to undergo numerous
surgeries, whether it be with the body, skin, or both to even be signed to a manager, then
company, and acquire success overall. According to Li, et al., who categorized the skin color of
models in advertisements into 14 categories using a color wheel:
The skin color of models tended to be more fair and Caucasian-looking. The skin color
of models in advertisements that emphasize natural tended to be moderately light
either soft ivory or natural ivory. Models in these ads had minimal make-up, conveying a
natural beauty look. The skin color of models for prestige brands, and ads emphasizing
a somewhat older classic or elegant image, tended to be a lighter classic ivory. Thus,
skin color is conflated with class and whiter skin costs more.
The lighter the skin, the better. This is a universal idea spreading sporadically amongst the
women of the world, and through advanced technology, creams, and even soaps, lighter skin is
easily attainable. Historically, women in Jamaica, a former British colony, bleached their skin to

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

12
attain the fair and skin light tone (Robinson). Even though these practices can be dangerous
and a potential threat to health, the practice of bleaching the skin and undergoing surgical/laser
procedures for skin lightening is continually increasing (2014 Plastic). An example of this would
be from an intriguing story about a Korean woman named Hang Mioku who was obsessed with
silicon injections, as she wanted soft and fair skin (Chenes). The doctors refused her of further
treatments for she had a psychological issue. In response, Hang injected cooking oil into her face
leaving her with a permanently disfigured face (Chenes). But then there is also this irony that
comes into place when Euro-American women, pay thousands of dollars to get a tan. People
want what they don't have. Skin is very important in the world of beautiful women. The tone,
the fairness, the complexion of the skin, and if different from that of the idealistic image and
complexion, is a flawed skin.
Figure:
One of the most unrealistic goals that many women aspire to achieve is the perfect slim
and trim body figure. Historically, different areas of the world had different views on an ideal
body figure. In Ancient Egypt, the ideal body figure included slim body, narrow shoulders, and
high waist, with a symmetrical face (BuzzFeed). Presentable women during the Hang Dynasty
had slim waists, pale white skin, large eyes, and small feet (foot binding) (BuzzFeed). During the
Victorian England, the popular body was plump, full-figured, with an cinched waist (BuzzFeed).
During the Italian renaissance, it was a full-figured body with a round stomach and high chin
(BuzzFeed). In the Roaring Twenties of America, thin and flat chested with a downplayed waist
was to desire (BuzzFeed). Lastly, the Golden Age of Hollywood (1930s-1950s) presented
beautiful women to be curvy showcasing an hourglass figure, slim waist, and with large breasts
(BuzzFeed). Today, the majority of women still aspire the Golden Age of Hollywood idealistic

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

13
body type, but with an addition of big and plump butts. The pattern is clear here; the ideal body
image for women constantly change throughout time. As women are changing their appearances,
their desires are starting to reflect upon women seen on movies, televisions, and magazines. With
time progressing, the idealistic body figure is starting to become more unrealistic than ever
before. Big businesses and corporations target women at a young age through princess movies
and Barbie dolls. These fictional characters, as fictional as the body figures they present, have
been proven by many researchers and scientists to be unrealistic (Golgowski). If Barbie were a
real person, she would not survive for she would have very frail bones failing to even support her
body to walk and stand straight (Golgowski). But with todays highly advanced and growing
technology, many women are able to attain an ideal body figure through plastic surgeries,
creams, diet plans, chemically or naturally made drinks for sliming, and many other products
that big businesses have and can come up with to sell to one of their largest consumers globally,
women. Plastic surgeries were one of the earliest methods women used to modify their bodies,
recording back to the first documented breast augmentation in 1895 (History). Although culture
defines the ideas of beauty, women around the world still desire to pursue a white and EuroAmerican look. According to Yecheng, Women are going to extremes to adhere to Western ideas
of beauty. All over the world, women go through cosmetic procedures in the pursuit of a more
beautiful look. Physical appearance is part of social interactions and relationships. In Asia,
women partake in many surgeries to obtain bigger eyes and the double eyelid to reflect a more
Euro-American feature. In the Middle East, nose jobs are very popular to attain a straight and
ideal nose shape. Plastic Surgeries are definitely the most popular form of physical
transformation for women across the globe. The American Society of plastic Surgeons reported
of a 3% increases (15.6 million) of cosmetic procedures, a 4% increase in cosmetic minimally

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

14
invasive procedures (13.9 million), and a 1% (1.7 million) increase in cosmetic surgical
procedures just from 2014-2013 (2014 Plastic). The top 5 Cosmetic Surgical Procedures for the
year 2014 were breast augmentation (286,000), Nose reshaping (217,000), Liposuction
(211,000), Eyelid surgery (207,000), and facelifts (128,000) (2014 Plastic). And as it may come
as a shocker, the United States is the number one leading country for surgical procedures
(Yecheng).
Social Effects:
Beautiful people have it better. This is a mindset that many women across the globe
have attainted to. According to Gelles, Body image is a concept that may not have been defined
historically, but the desire to improve ones own appearance has existed throughout history. This
continuous cycle can be proven because cosmetics and plastic surgery practices that have been
around for centuries (History). It is definitely hard and preoccupying to keep up with medias
trends. Whether or not this is a problem, is less clear. The unrealistic standards that society has
bestowed upon women worldwide have impacted and created global issues in nature. Women are
being emotionally, physically, and mentally harmed. According to Cassidy Mule,
These images (from media) are beamed all around the world to other societies with
different cultural norms. Due to the large amount of imagery coming out of the American
culture, the perception of women on a global scale has changed. The media's portrayal of
women with a concentrated focus on their outward appearance has negatively affected
women throughout the world.
With the media constantly bombarding women across the globe with information that alters and
deceives their values, ideals, and norms, women are blindingly damaging themselves. Womens
self-esteem is degrading through poor-body image, extensively harming their health and causing
eating disorders, depression, and the in-take of harmful chemicals supposedly designed to thin
out their bodies. Women who were born with physical disabilities are blockaded and given even

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

15
more obstacles to overcome, profoundly affecting their self-esteem. In fact, there are other
hindrances such as money and time that women must take into consideration. Even women who
arent possessive of a poor-body image are tricked to attain such changes because of
unsatisfactory.
Women crave for social acceptance and most importantly, self-acceptance. The
willingness to try and achieve these unrealistic goals comes from the aspirations of power,
success, and the feeling of simply just being wanted, making themselves desirable. Mass media
often portray attractive people as more desirable, credible, and inspirational (Yan).
The workplace is also commonly affected by appearance. Studies have shown that people
who are perceived to be attractive have a much more likelihood towards success (Yecheng).
The acceptance between two candidates with equal capability for a job opportunity will more
likely fall into the hands of the more appealing and beautiful candidate. It has also been observed
that attractive people attain higher wages than unattractive people (Yecheng). Whether or not
these claims may be true, this beauty premium idea has succumbed millions of people into
dramatically changing their appearances in order to achieve success (Yecheng). Even in politics
and with men, appearance plays a major role with winning elections. This especially can be
shown by the debate between John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Citizens who watched the
televised debate thought that Reagan won and that Kennedy lost. Unlike Reagan, Kennedy
refused hair and make-up before televising the debate. People though that Reagan won due to his
confident, young, and overall handsome appearance. As for those citizens who listened to the
debate via radio, thought that Kennedy won because of his intellectual and impressive speech
skills, with Reagan as the loser. Through the pressure accumulated from society and the media, it
is not a surprise that women have incrementally begun to develop poor-body images rather than

GLOBALIZATIONS EFFECTS ON CULTURAL CONCEPTS OF BEAUTY

16
their idealistic one, as ironic as it is, due to imperfection. Perfection is an inhumanly possible,
moreover worthless goal to achieve or aspire towards.
Conclusion:
As globalization and westernization change the world through media, advanced
technology, and less restricted foreign policies, the people subjected to them are ever-changing
too. A narrowing of an ideal body image to fit such a high social standard of beauty, has strongly
affected women both in negative and positive ways. Today, women have that freedom to change
their appearances to their pleasing. If a woman feels the need to change her skin tone, face
complexion, or body figure in order to gain happiness, knowing that they will gain social
acceptance and/or self-acceptance, then these are very plausible reasons. On the other hand, this
beauty standard can also have a negative effect mentally, emotionally, and physically towards
women. There are many ways to look at this topic. It really depends on the moralistic views each
individual posses and how they want to justify their means. For example, Gelles justifies that, a
narrowing of beauty standards does seem to decrease empowerment: women have fewer choices,
and experience greater pressure to fit into an increasingly tight mold of conventional beauty
ideals. These points have validity in them. Gelles expresses her opposing viewpoint on the idea
of a narrow beauty standard the world posses. Others may disagree and feel that a narrow beauty
standard can implement equality, or is a part of self-expression and freedom. Just think of it this
way, nothing is permanent because everything evolves. Its the cold hard truth. Satisfaction is
only a myth.
