Beauty and Human Body in Ancient History?
I was doing some research and noticed how most women who were in paintings or the subjects of statues had what we now today call “cankles.” Its funny that in the past, women who had them must have been more desirable but people today cant stand them or its regarded as something that makes you fat, and or un normal. What are your opinions on the perception of the human body, or why do you think people have changed their views on what we consider beauty (past, chubbier more desirable, present, stick thin more attractive?)
in the past some thought that if you were more heavy-set you were considered wealthy because you ate better.but now a days we don’t have to worry about starving in america run by corporations like mcdonalds.! haha. and people have a fake, materialistic idea that we all need to have the same bodies to be beautiful people.
