  • Does Race Matter in International Beauty Pageants? a Quantitative Analysis of Miss World B S Z  R  W , PD U    B   C 
    Does race matter in international beauty pageants? A quantitative analysis of Miss World B S Z R W, PD U B C Abstract: Most research on race and beauty pageants uses qualitative research methods and focuses on national beauty pageants. For this reason it is unclear whether there are broad patterns of racial inequalities in international beauty pageants. My study addresses this issue by using a quantitative approach to examine whether race affects success rates in international beauty pageants. This study examines countries that have competed in the Miss World pageant from 1951 to 2011 and examine each country’s probability of winning and being in the semi- fi nals. The analysis shows that race matters. White countries have a much higher chance of winning and being in the semi-fi nals than non-white nations. Furthermore, white nations have been over-represented as winners and semi-fi nalists while non-white nations have been under-represented in both those categories. The patterns of success for white nations and lack of success for non-white nations demonstrates that beauty is not neutral and that global beauty pageants can be seen as a refl ection of racial hierarchies and a reaffi rmation of the ideology of white beauty. Introduction Studying Race in Beauty Pageants than simple phenotypes, in beauty pageants Browsing through the headshots of the Although race is a socially constructed where the body is visually displayed, physical 2011 contestants on the websites of the Miss concept, the concept of race and racism appearance is a noticeable way of signifying World and the Miss Universe pageants, the persists3, and in order to study racial race.5 Moreover, the general public that view women’s beauty was indisputable.

  • Gender Construction, Impacts and Perception of Thai Women
    Social Science Asia, Volume 6 Number 1, p: 27-42 CRITICAL FEMINIST ANALYSIS: GENDER CONSTRUCTION, IMPACTS AND PERCEPTION OF THAI WOMEN Thitaree Lapanaphan1, Suphisara Chinakkarapong2 Abstract This research paper will illustrate female gender construction within Thai society, as how it is built through state agencies and how they represent women in public. Additional purpose of this paper is to raise awareness and promote ideas based on critical feminism in Thai society. There have been concerns of representation of women and its relation to the national identity and state’s construction of beauty that dictate women in their perception of being Thai women. It is relevant to contemporary social phenomenon, especially social discussion about roles and performance of women should take on in both public and private sphere. My analysis hence center on a process of gender construction where female gender is continuously served as images of the nation as well as portrayed importance of gender role regardless of real gender empowerment of women. Key words: Women, Thailand, Gender Construction, Feminism, Gender Role, Representation 1. INTRODUCTION the discourse. You only see the Thai lady with smiley faces do the “wai” everywhere We all are familiar with the at tourist places. That kind of image “Amazing Thailand” but how many would becomes part of the “Amazing Thailand” actually know the real “Amazing Thailand? program. As much as Thai people concern so much Gender construction and Thai about their “faces”, Thailand encourage a female representation in Thailand are the cruciality of appearance and surfaces. main theme of this paper. They are the These surfaces are often gendered and process of the state and society itself, and transformed through representation and they are not static.

It was the opposition’s first public rally in over a year. The crowd was estimated at more than 10,000 people. Barrak showed copies of documents he claimed were the bank accounts and transfers of former senior offi- cials who he alleged stole a total of more than $50 bil- lion. Some of the money was deposited in accounts in Europe, while around $15 billion was deposited in an account in an Israeli bank, he said. The former outspo- ken lawmaker said corruption was rife in every aspect of Kuwait and warned that the forces of corruption were systematically destroying the country.
