As I was doing some last minute cramming of Media Communication Theories while watching Miss Universe on TV, I decided I should draw out a mindmap for the test later.

This is actually the (inserts number) mindmap I have drawn for Communications. I feel that it helps me remember stuff as I write them down. Also, cause I love to draw, thus grabbing my full attention. Mindmaps aren't actually my kind of thing. But in Poly, my cohort was trained to draw mindmaps. Big/small. simple or complicated - depends on your preferance.

Again, I would like to raise the issue on perception. The top 5 finalists of Miss Universe have a similar trait.

(Sexay~ I was rooting for Colombia/Mexico. But the winner was Venezuela. Hot all the same.)

They are non-Asians. They have long hair, sexy bodies, nice teeth, nice skin and the list goes on. Basically, they are Barbie dolls. The perfection of beauty. How often can you actually see an Asian in the top 5 or a plum looking (but exceptionally beautiful) woman?

Nay.

Perception of beautiful has been shaped by the media, and not by us.

(I can hear you saying that beauty is superficial. Inner beauty is everything.) I disagree, rather strongly actually. Perhaps you think I am shallow, but you can't possibly thrive in this modern day society with inner beauty.

Okay, enough said, here's my mindmap! All nicely photoshopped and typed in. (I apologise if there are errors in my mindmap. I really thougt I was on the right track! =] )
