Banning beauty contests

Here is a question. How am I plagiarizing when I gave quotation marks and a link to the source hence giving them full credit to the words? 1: Your person is a mental health pro. They should know then they and everyone else knows when someone looses that makes people think they aren't good enough. "The world of beauty pageants may seem all fancy and fun - the glamorous girls, the pretty dresses, the shining tiaras - but the truth, it isn't. In fact, it's far from it. The consequences of pageants can be very harsh on every participant, but with children, it's much worse. Sure, the girls may seem like they're having a blast, getting to be a princess for a while, but beauty pageants actually have a huge negative impact on girls' minds, and can cause problems throughout their lives." http://www.parenthood360.com... 2A: The resource said the punishment is a bit extreme. They did not say it would be hard to enforce. 2B: Parents are often responsible for the participation of girls in the competitions, and even sometimes influence the girls" behavior. The experience parents have with beauty contests is the reason why they expose their children to them. In some cases, it is just a matter of a dream they did not have and are living it vicariously through their daughters. Some moms on lower socioeconomic levels think competition is healthy, others claim that they put their children into beauty contests so they can meet others. http://merciad.mercyhurst.edu... 3: Girls looking attractive is fine. The problem here though is beauty contest. Plus yes we could survive, but there is another problem with your statement. We are running out of space. The global population is growing at a faster rate than ever before. But can our planet sustain seven billion people? Some politicians and experts are rethinking our current economic and social models. There will be nine billion people by 2050 By the end of October, a baby will be born somewhere on this planet that will, according to United Nations estimates, make the global population add up to seven billion. Experts like to call our population growth a "population explosion." In the last 200 years, the growth rate has been the fastest in the history of humankind. By 2050, the global population is expected to exceed 9.1 billion. According to the UN, every individual is born with unalienable rights: the right to the protection of his or her dignity, a right to food and water, education, health and housing. Most individuals are likely to dream of material wealth and well-being, based on a Western lifestyle. India is soon to be the world's most populous country But is the planet actually able to support this Western model? "The typical US-American or European lifestyle is not sustainable," says Ernst Ulrich von Weizs"cker, German environmental expert and member of the World Future Council. If the world continues along its current growth part, he is convinced "we would need three planets." Limited resources According to UN predictions, India is set to overtake China as the country with the largest population. At the same time, population figures in industrialized countries are shrinking. Industrialized societies and, increasingly, densely populated emerging economies have the highest consumption rate of resources, be it food, water, earth, fossil fuels or precious metals. Ralf F"cks of the Green party believes that the fossil era, based on consumption of fossil resources, is no longer sustainable. Neither the current energy nor the transport system can be reproduced at the global level, he says. And then there's climate change Developing nations are at risk of climate-related disasters There are also growing concerns that climate change may lead to average temperatures rising to around four degrees Celsius. Should these concerns become reality, then - according to the United Nations Development Program - some 330 million people would be faced with devastating floods and forced to leave their homes. In Bangladesh alone some 70 million people are likely to be affected. At the same time, many of the world"s regions may soon become too arid to sustain farming, adding further pressure on global resources, drinking water, food and land. Limited resources and climate change jar with the current ideas of development based on the assumptions of limitless growth, says von Weizs"cker. He calls such assumptions "absurd," and does not expect the much-promised development through global, liberalized markets to do much to help. On the contrary, the scientist believes, "the financial crisis of 2008 proved that the almost religious belief in the markets" creative power was devastatingly wrong. Markets are able to create an incredible amount of damage." http://www.dw.de... 4: yes, but those people make themselves healthier in the process of getting better. Not in beauty contests. William Pinsof, a psychologist, says that '"Being a little Barbie doll says your body has to be a certain way and your hair has to be a certain way. In girls particularly, this can unleash a whole complex of destructive self-experiences that can lead to eating disorders and all kinds of body distortions in terms of body image"' http://beautypageantsze.weebly.com...
