4. Erik Erikson Carl Jung B.F. Skinner There is entire discipline devoted to Physical Self "Hath-yoga", or the Yoga of the body. The Indian tradition views growth and enlightenment as the whole body event, which is not possible until one has a pure and strong body. the role of bodily organs is especially important in early developmental stages of a person's life.

17. As a biological entity, the body has a functional role, but as a social entity it is the most visible way of expressing and presenting someone's identity. Research found that a person who is perceived as attractive makes more money than a person of below-average looks. In politics, voters who are not actively engaged in social and political issues choose candidates based on "looks" 90% of the time.

18. May be attributed to a cognitive bias called the "halo effect," A cognitive bias is an error in reasoning, evaluating, remembering, or any other mental process that is often a result of holding on to one's preferences and beliefs regardless of contrary information. The "halo effect" refers to the tendency of people to rate attractive individuals more favorable for their personality traits or characteristics as compared to those who are less attractive.

19. A significant aspect of culture that strongly influences adolescents who are in a face-to-face encounter with their physical selves is how their culture conceptualizes beauty. Young adolescents are forced to adhere to society’s definition of beauty lest they be labeled ugly. This is what is called the social constructionist approach to understanding the physical self. This suggests that beauty, weight, sexuality, or race do not simply result from the collection of genes one inherited from one’s parents. Instead, these bodily features only take on the meaning that they have. A person may have a certain set of facial features, or weigh a certain number of pounds and attractiveness will come from the time and place in which they live.

20. A woman is what she wears. This statement is from the work of Janes Gaines on fashion (1990) which implies that women are often defined completely by their clothing. In this study, it suggests that people have body images. Body image is the mental representation one creates, but it may or may not bear close relation to how others actually see you. Having a sense of understanding that healthy attractive bodies come in many shapes and sizes, and that physical appearance says very little about the character or value of a person. How to get to this point depends on the acceptance and esteem that a person has for himself.

21. BEAUTY defined not with proportions, but rather with similarity between the left and right sides of the face. Symmetry Biologists had also hypothesized that we prefer faces that epitomize the 'manliness' or 'femininity' of their gender. Standards of

22. It was only in the most urbanized regions that they found the strong attraction to more masculine men and more feminine women; in the smaller, more remote communities, many women actually preferred the more "feminine" looking men.

25. Our body image refers to how you perceive your physical body, whether you believe you are attractive, and how you believe others perceive your appearance. Body image is closely linked to self-esteem for many people (especially teenagers). TIME IS PHYSICAL BEAUTY IMPORTANT? For many as their body changes, so does their image of themselves. So it is very important to re-frame the way we view, think and talk about our physical selves. Beauty through

26. Recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape or size it comes in. Try to focus on how strong and healthy your body is and the things it can do. Not what's wrong with it or what you feel you want to change about it. No one's business but your own what your body is like. You have to be happy with yourself. " YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH "
