Concepts Of beauty

Today I learned about concepts in my cognitive processes and problem solving module.My group decided to do concept of beauty as part of our presentation.I came across some shocking concepts of beauty.Here are some that I found out through online.

African Ndebele women consider long necks beautiful, for every year that a young woman is attractive, she is given a gold ring that is welded onto her neck

It is called Nkuho in the local language -- a process where a [Nigerian] woman in her teens or early twenties is taken to a fat farm and literally force-fed on fatty foods until she reaches a suitable size. " from CNN article at http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/africa/11/18...sworld.nigeria/

When we all these women in our daily life,we would consider them as freaks,weirdo and so on.But in their community they are the most beautiful women.How does a beautiful person supposed to look like?There is no specific answer for this.It's all depends on YOUR point of view.
