Malian Women and their "beauty" Epidimec
In this article that I read was really sad. It takes place in a country called Mali and women their like to bleach their skin to make it lighter. It is bad because it damages their skin and it burns. There should be a different skin care lotion that is more salubrious for women's skin so it won't burn. All these products are coming from Nigeria, United States, and Morocco and all these women are salacious when it comes to these products and it is painful. I don't know why you would be mesmeric when it comes to product that burns you and really painful. There are a lot of women that hate how they look like, but they shouldn't be so desperate to fix themselves because it even is painful to them. When women see products that could change how they look they are ebullient but they should know what are the ingredients that go into these products because they could kill the women that are getting them. This article taught me that even little country's that we don't know are sprung off of being embellish and they would even use products that could even kill them and make them look worse to look good!
Women in Greece
1. How did women's roles in society differ from Athens and Sparta?
Women in Athens were more treated like slaves and they had a kyrios that was either her closest male birth-relative or her husband. The women in Sparta were more free like because they can have there parents chose who they would be marrying.
2. If the Greeks are considered so advanced, so culturally elite, why do you believe gender equality (equality between men and women) was not established?
Because they didn't know better what to do and I think that Adam and eve came into there minds and followed what happened between Adam and Eve.
3. Based on your understanding of women in Ancient Greek society, how do you think women were depicted by artists at this time?
Well because that is all they can depict on at that time because they were going through so much and had a hard life with everything. All the women in ancient Greece were confused in my opinion because they couldn't make there own choices and the only way for them to have some time that could make there own choice is by learning through art.

Socrates Cafe
I have to say that today was really interesting because in our symposium we talked about what Greeks would do and what they believed. We learned more about virtues that Greeks made and how we can use them. Most of the people in my class talked and about everyone had good points on the topic because all of us thought we have the potential of having these virtues but how to use them. I wish I could of talked more because it was a really interesting and you just wanted to cut people off and start saying what you believe in. Everyone had there own opinion and that is what makes all of us unique and that's what makes seminars really interesting and intense.

Beauty of Youth
1. What is so beautiful about youth?
The reason that I think that youth is beautiful because the young and old is what makes a good life because we all have different ideas about different things and it makes life so good! We all are not perfect but most adults want to be young and young kids want to be adults. They all have that in them that makes the youth unique.
2. We know what "perfect" most likely means to Socrates by looking at ancient Greek sculpture and art and drawing inferences, but he doesn't describe this "perfect" human form. What are your thoughts on the idea of a "perfect" human form today? What is it in your culture for men? women? What are your thoughts surrounding those ideals?
My thoughts of a perfect human being is nothing because there will never be a perfect human being because there is to much stuff in this world to not stay perfect and this world right now will temp you and drive you crazy! This is not a perfect world and their will never be a perfect human being to me!

Beauty

Another thing to me that I think is beauty is the Northern Lights because it is so rare to see and you can only see them in Alaska. The northern lights have so much detail to it that makes it really beautiful to watch because when you look at it you might think it a painting with beautiful colors added to it. It is really amazing it watch and love how it covers the sky with amazing colors.

Well beauty to me is a panda because when it's a baby you see it transform into this beautiful, big panda that is peaceful and doesn't harm no one! One more thing about this panda is that you appreciate what this world gives to us and one of those things that this world gives us is this beautiful baby panda.
