Theme: Beauty Standards

Topic: The negative impacts of beauty obsession on girls and women

Opinion: Being obsessed with beauty can turn the most beautiful people into
something much less than beautiful. In our opinion, beauty is necessity among women
and girls up to a level, when it becomes an obsession it may cause many bad impacts
on an individual. This beauty is impossible to attain. It leads the pursuer down the path
of obsession, interfering our ability to maintain our life routines, our relationships with
others and damages our feelings about ourselves. We simply cannot rely on this so
called "beauty" to sustain us. Among these various negative effects which obsession
with beauty can cause are financial peril, eating disorder, needless suffering and bodily
modifications, as well as various health risks and ultimately, death.

Report

As a leader for my group, I would say that in the process of doing this portfolio my
group members are very supportive. They always check on me to get this portfolio
done. We always meet up to discuss on the issue that arise on the article that we
should find. We face some difficulties in encountering the articles regarding our topic as
it was quite complicated but somehow, we manage to get it done by the cooperation to
one another in our team. Although, one of my group members is quite confuse about
this assignment, we sort it out as a team to get this done on time. So, I think this is all
my report regarding our group and this portfolio. Thank you, Sir.
