In contemporary society, culture remains a significant factor in determining our perception of beauty. In some countries, young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day. In other cultures, looking thin for their husband-to-be is not what they desire at all, rather, looking a little plump and fleshy is considered more attractive. With the influence of society, time and culture, there are no certain criteria which can be used to judge what is beautiful. Lifelong commitment and indeed, the survival of society itself rely on individuals seeing beauty in difference and depth. The human race would soon die out, if we were restricted to perceiving beauty within a set of limited criteria. On the other hand, physical beauty must also be enhanced, by an attraction to something deeper within a person. That particular kind of attraction is found in all sorts of personality character traits, e.g. kindness, generosity.
