The feelings of individuals about themselves and others are largely influenced by cultural images of beauty. Two examples for such influences are as follows:
1. The use of tight fitting corsets by women in the history of US stems from the belief that a small waist is a feature of female beauty.
2. Culturally, Chinese women with small feet are considered beautiful which lead to the practice of foot binding.
The foot binding practice in China was dominant and was in practice for more than ten centuries. This is due to the deep-rooted belief that beautiful women have small feet. Thus, any woman with large feet was considered not beautiful and was not preferred as a bride. Thus, as influenced by the cultural image of beauty, the Chinese foot binding practice was in practice for a long time.
