Inspired Beauty: How the Aesthetics of White Features Influenced the World
At the beginning of time, the Aryan race was a beautiful race of beings from heaven that came to Earth and illuminated as sun gods upon the Earth. Through the thousands of years here on Earth, the Aryan descendants were men of great stature, building and ruling over many great civilizations, where many tribes idolized their gods for their supernatural abilities and told many great stories about them. In Ancient Greece, the Greeks revered the Olympian gods for their immortal powers as well as their beauty, imitating them in many forms of poetry, sculptures, paintings, architecture, philosophy, which brought forth the main philosophical theme during Westernization--that beauty was defined by nature: whatever appeared beautiful on the outside was considered morally good based on a person's outer appearance. During the eighteenth century, racial science took shape, stating that people of European stock were more superior to others, and this became accepted in the Eastern and Western worlds. Then, in the early nineteenth century, Nazi Germany rose to power, adopting Darwin's theories on race, confirming that the aesthetic appeal of the Aryan race was superior above all other races on Earth. Today, in the twenty-first century, Westernization's influence can be seen throughout the world through movie screens, television, advertisements, and magazines showing the average good-looking person as tall and thin, with a narrow-shaped face, fair complexion, fair hair, and light eyes.
