“Beauty can be constructed”
Although
constructed beauty has been seen negatively throughout the years due to the
pressures society has put on young girls and women to be so called “beautiful.”
In Aimee Mullins, “My 12 pairs of legs” Ted Talk, she talks about constructed
beauty in a positive way. As an amputee her
prosthetic legs allowed her to built a career as a model, actor, and advocate
for women, sports, and the next generation of prosthetics. Mullins shows beauty
can be constructed from the legacy she built through her prosthetics legs.
Furthermore, beauty does not always have to be
real in order for it to be honest and true. Constructed beauty can help young
girls and women feel confident and good about themselves. Constructed beauty
can also allow people with disabilities to feel beautiful in a society that is
all about appearances. For example, Mullins got to experience many things that
most people would not think an amputee could accomplish. She has walked
runways, broke a record in the 1996 Paralympic Games, and became the first
double amputee to compete in NCAA Division 1 track and field. The construction
of her prosthetic legs has allowed Mullins to feel beautiful, confident, and
experience many things most people with disabilities wouldn’t think of doing. Doctors and specialists who construct
prosthetics limbs for people such as, Aimee Mullins allows society to see
beauty can be constructed to help all people feel beautiful. All type of
beauty, constructed or real can be honest and true if it helps others feel
confident and beautiful.
In
conclusion, beauty can be constructed to help others such as, amputees and
people with disabilities to feel beautiful in a society that is all about
appearances. Constructed beauty helped
Aimee Mullins to feel confident and build a legacy through her prosthetic legs.
Mullins built a career and legacy as a model, actor, and advocate speaker.
