Speech on Beauty Is In The Eye of The Beholder

• Updated on  
• November 23, 2023

‘Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it.’ – Confucius. What is beautiful to one person may not be that attractive to another. The term ‘beauty’ has multiple meanings, and what we see through our naked eyes might not be the reality. Real beauty lies inside; what looks rough outside might be beautiful inside. The physical appearance or beauty of a person has nothing to do with their intelligence, personality and character. The term ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ means what one perceives as beautiful and attractive might not be the same for another person. We all see things differently and think in our own ways. Here’s a speech on beauty is in the eye of the beholder for school students.

Popular Quotes on Beauty to Add to Your Speech

• ‘The most beautiful thing you can wear is confidence.’ – Blake Lively
• ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.’ – John Keats

• ‘The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.’ – Helen Keller

• ‘Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.’ – Coco Chanel
• ‘Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.’ – Kahlil Gibran
• ‘The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.’ – Francis Bacon
• ‘Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.’ – Sophia Loren

Ans: This phrase means that everyone perceives beauty differently. What one finds attractive might not interest another person. Its meaning differs from person to.

Ans: Beauty in a person is traits and qualities such as a respectful attitude, trustworthiness, thoughtfulness, kindness, appreciation, etc.

Ans: Although physical beauty is a deception, complimenting someone on their looks can be a good way to talk to someone. If you see an attractive person, you can compliment them on their good looks, but complimenting a person for their inner strength will be difficult. Complimenting someone on their inner beauty requires you to spend some time with them and get to know each other.

Presentation Transcript

Cognitive Level of AnalysisOBJECTIVE: Evaluate Schema Theory with reference to research studies.

Cognitive process are influenced by social/cultural factors • Schema • Definition: a mental representation of knowledge that guides decisions/behaviors • Cultural/social influence may lead to distortions of schemas (e.g.. thin = beauty) • Self Schema: how we organize info about ourselves • Social Schema: how we organize info about groups (stereotypes)

Schema Theory (Bartlett) • Networks of knowledge, beliefs, expectations about particular aspects of the world • Experiences continually inform, change, influence our existing schemas and the formation of new ones • Research example: Bartlett and the War of Ghosts (1932) • AIM: to test the effects of schema on recall

Bartlett’s Method • Subjects were separated into 2 groups • Serial reproduction • The first participant reads a story and reproduces it, this is read by the second participant who reproduces it for a third participant and so on until the seventh reproduction. • Repeated reproduction • The same participant contributes all seven reproductions, these reproductions are separated by intervals of 15 minutes.

Bartlett’s Results • The two methods led to very similar findings • Serial Reproduction: the stories became shorter each time and there were distortions in the story. • These distortions made the story more understandable from the participants experiences and cultural background. • Things culturally unfamiliar to the participants were replaced with familiar ones. (Hunting seals to fishing). • Shows that schemas were used in recall.

Evaluation of Bartlett • Strengths • Provides evidence that the way we remember depends on our prior knowledge in the form of schemas • Ecologically valid • Ethically sound

Weaknesses • Only used English participants. • Different cultures may produce different results. • Participants were not of the general population. • His approach to research lacked objectivity. • Was too casual as he simply asked for recall at various intervals (lack of control)

Distortions • Schema distortions result when we have trouble making sense of, or filling in the missing bits of new information • Research Example: Turnbull’s study of the BaMbuti Tribe in Central Africa (1961)

The BaMbuti tribe lived in a densely forested region of Central Africa. • This environment greatly impacted their ability to perceive distance.

Turnbull found that the BaMbuti were not able to perceive objects beyond a distance of 150 feet (approx. 50 yards) by taking a young member of the tribe named Kengi out on the savannah.

From a ridge, Turnbull showed the Kengi animals far in the distance. • Kengi described the distant animals as “bugs” and was astonished when Turnbull drove him closer to the animals who naturally increased in size as the jeep got closer. Kengi even accused Turnbull of being a witchdoctor.

In reality, Kengi was unable to complete the perceptual rules of “Shape Constancy” and “Size Constancy”, something that we take for granted thanks to our environment. • Kengi could “see” the animals, but he was experiencing a schematic distortion. There was no previous experience to guide his new perceptions.

Schemas and Memory • Anderson and Pichert (1978) H&C p. 72 • Bansford and Johnson (1972) • Aim: Identify stage(s) in processing where schemas exert their influence • Method: subjects in 3 groups heard a long speech • Group 1: No title, only story • Group 2:Title and told the story is about “washing clothes” pre-reading • Group 3: Title and told story is about “washing clothes” post-reading • Subjects asked to recall as much of story as possible

Results • Participants in the no title and title after conditions found the paragraph difficult to comprehend than the title before group. • The “title before” condition participants activated schematic knowledge about what is involved in washing clothes and aided understanding.

Schemas and Stereotyping • McRae et al. (1994) • Aim: examine the effects of schema on stereotypes • Method: First, participants had to form impressions of a number of target persons described by name and 10 personality traits.

At the sametime participants were also doing a comprehension test for which there were two conditions: •  Half of participants were told the jobs of the target persons. • Half were not.

Results • Participants who relied on job stereotypes did perform better at both tasks. For example knowing that someone was a doctor elicited responses such as “caring, reliable, intelligent”. • Schemas can influence the formation of stereotypes.

Research on Schemas and Gender • Martin and Halverson (1987) • Argued that children as young as 2 or 3 who have acquired basic gender identity start to form gender schemas, which consist of organized sets of beliefs about the sexes. • This is an in-group/out-group schema: organized around which toys/activities are “for boys” or “for girls”. • Supports formation of Own-gender schema: how to behave in gender stereotyped ways.

Martin and Halverson (1983) • Showed 5-6 year old children pictures of schema consistent and inconsistent activities. Schema inconsistent activities were often misremembered 1 week later. • Bradbard et al. (1986) • Boys and girls between ages 4-9 were shown gender neutral objects and told that some were boy objects and others were girl objects . • Results: children spent much more time playing with “gender appropriate” objects. • A week later the children remembered whether any given object was a “boy” or a “girl” object.

Evaluation of Gender Schema Theories • + Helps explain why children’s gender role belief and attitudes change little after middle childhood. • + Focuses on child as being actively involved in making sense of the world in the light of its present knowledge. • -Theory emphasizes the role of the individual child in gender development and de-emphasizes the role of environmental/social/cultural factors. • -Likely the importance of schemas and other cognitive factors in determining behavior is exaggerated within theory. • - Doesn’t explain why gender schemas develop and take the form they do.

'Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder': Definition, Meaning, Examples

Have you ever heard someone say, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'? If you have, you might have wondered what it means. If that's the case, then you're in the right place. In this article, we'll learn the meaning of this popular idiom, its origins, and how to use it in a sentence.

If you just want to know what it means, though, here's the quick version:

• When someone says, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' they mean that beauty is subjective and everyone has different opinions. What might be beautiful to one might not be for another.

What Does 'Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder' Mean?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" means that the perception of beauty is subjective and varies from one person to another. What one person finds beautiful or attractive, another person may not.

It's a perfect example of how idioms can't be interpreted literally. Don't worry; there isn't actually something in your eye. What is meant here is that we all see things differently.

It highlights the idea that there is no universal standard for beauty, and what is considered beautiful can be highly individual and influenced by personal preferences, cultural background, and personal experiences. This idiom is often used to emphasize that people have different tastes and opinions when it comes to aesthetics and that there is no single definition of beauty that applies to everyone.

Imagine, for example, that you're at the museum with a friend, and they mention that a particular painting is very appealing, but it's not to your taste.

You might say:

I really don't know what you see in this painting; I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. 

It might be helpful for you to know what ' beholder ' means if you don't already.

The dictionary defines it this way:

The beholder of something is the person who is looking at it.

It's quite an old-fashioned word and isn't used much nowadays.

Because it contains a verb ('is'), you might sometimes see it in alternative forms, although that's quite rare. But you could see it in the past indefinite form if the sentence is past tense.

For example:

Even then she knew that beauty was in the eye of the beholder. 

Where Does 'Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder' Come From?

The phrase 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' is often attributed to the 19th-century author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford , who wrote under the pseudonym "The Duchess" in her 1878 work Molly Bawn . And while she might have been the first to use the phrase in this form, the same idea had been expressed in different forms since much earlier.

One of the earliest examples was in playwright John Lyly's 1580 play Euphues and his England, where he said:

...as neere is Fancie to Beautie, as the pricke to the Rose, as the stalke to the rynde, as the earth to the roote.

As you can see, it's not exactly the same sentence, but it has the same meaning. A more obvious example is Shakespeare's 1588 Love's Labours Lost:

Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean, Needs not the painted flourish of your praise: Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye, Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues

You might find sources that attribute the origin of this idiom to Ancient Greece around the 3rd century BC and notably to Plato. However, many disagree with this finding because Plato actually contested the subjective idea of beauty. If you're interested in philosophy, you might enjoy researching this. His ideas were interesting, to say the least.

Examples in Sentences

Now that we've covered the meaning of this idiom and its origins, here are some example sentences that use it.

Some people may not find abstract art appealing, but remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The old, weathered barn had a rustic charm that I found beautiful, but others thought it was an eyesore. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. The fashion industry often promotes unrealistic beauty standards, but it's essential to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While some may prefer the modern architecture of the city, I think the historic district's buildings have a unique charm. It just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She may not fit conventional standards of beauty, but her confidence and personality make her truly attractive. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Tastes in music vary widely, and what one person considers beautiful melodies, another might find cacophonous. It's a perfect example of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. When it comes to pets, one person might find dogs adorable while another person thinks cats are the cutest. Beauty, even in pets, is in the eye of the beholder. He saw the beauty in the overgrown garden and spent months restoring it to its former glory. It's a reminder that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In the world of food, some people relish spicy dishes, while others prefer milder flavors. It's a clear illustration that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even in cuisine. Literature and art often divide critics and audiences; what one person considers a masterpiece, another might find uninspiring. It just goes to show that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. 

Other Ways to Say 'Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder'

There are plenty of other ways to say that beauty is objective. They're great to use if you're looking for alternative phrases.

• One person's trash is another person's treasure.
• Different strokes for different folks.
• What's beautiful to you may not be beautiful to me.
• Beauty is a matter of personal taste.
• There's no accounting for taste.
• Each to their own when it comes to beauty.
• In matters of beauty, opinions vary.
• Beauty is a matter of individual interpretation.
• It's all about personal preference.

Concluding Thoughts

That concludes this article about this popular idiom. To summarize, when someone says, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' they mean that the idea of beauty is subjective, and not all people have the same opinions about it.
