The Evolution of Beauty Standards by api-537797933 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Standards of beauty have changed significantly over time and vary widely between cultures. In the past, fuller figures were preferred as a sign of wealth, but Western standards in the 20th century favored increasingly thin body types. This led to dieting trends and increased rates of eating disorders. Today, media and advertising narrow beauty standards despite human diversity. Changing perceptions to embrace a variety of healthy body types could promote well-being over physical appearance.
