Response Paper (Beauty Up)
The article tells the readers how the aspect of beauty is being explored at the same time manifested in men as the author persuades the imperative assumptions relating to Japanese body Aesthetics thus, giving valuable and precise arguments to direct factors of ‘Beauty Up’, emphasizing crucial discussions such as changing beauty ideology, male beauty work and other factors comprising the overall stance of the article. The author argued that there is more essence of true beauty as to what artificial beauty can offer, for one is the evolution of body aesthetics that have inspired many Japanese people particularly, Japanese men. The strength of the author incurs the logical interaction of how the situation works into the whole context providing strength to ideas and concepts in similar and different perspectives. Indeed, the author explains well on the male beauty work upon using concrete examples of how body aesthetics work in organized manner but at some point, the author was weak as she initially miss out on the notion that is can’t be just for men but for women as well.
There was inclusion of interviews upon investigating of new trend, the method used for supporting arguments deemed relevant as to why the author is somehow emphasizing too broad terms but not found any parallelism of such when it comes to informative approach. There were also visits made into salons to acquire reliable evidence and there outcomes to cultural bias against women.
Arguments imposed by the author provide relevance to readers since, there is effort to obtain clear idea of beautiful objects, people judgments upon them and the motives underlying the acts which create them in order to raise the aesthetic life, allowing full scope to the disinterested feelings of curiosity and wonder to create emotional participation. Agreeing that, the objective method implied will not suffice to give readers an adequate idea of beauty among men. For beautiful things are created by men, not passively discovered which men made to realize something.
