My Opinion on Dutton's Theory Of Beauty

 A Darwinian Theory on Beauty

            Natural beauty is instinctive, but do all people believe that this is the case? Denis Dutton featured on “A Darwinian Theory on Beauty” Ted Talk states his points about beauty. Beauty, according to Denis Dutton, is instinctive, anything done well is beautiful. I somewhat agree with his point on beauty. I agree on Dutton’s point that beauty can be instinctive because some things in nature are naturally beautiful. Examples of this are immaculate landscapes, waterfalls and Amazonian rain forests. Although these things can be beautiful to one person but not beautiful to another. The point I am making is that Dutton is thinking that all people have one opinion on beauty, but that is not true. Beauty is opinionated and it is ruled by how society thinks and how the media portrays beauty. One person may think beauty is the Grand Canyon while another may think that the Grand Canyon is not beautiful to view at all. The Grand Canyon was an occurrence by nature and it was indeed made very well by natural causes and time. With Dutton’s way of viewing beauty it must be that all people believe the Grand Canyon is beautiful but in my friend’s opinion it is not that beautiful. Therefore, beauty is opinionated and Dutton is incorrect to believe that anything done well is beautiful. The truth of the matter is that beauty is opinionated. Instinctive beauty is possible for some people, but for the latter everyone has their own opinions on what is beautiful and what is not.
