　　As is depicted in the ridiculous drawing, a fat woman is threatening her husband with a knife on her neck that if she cannot change her appearance into the lady with an amazing look and body, she will kill herself.

　　The picture obvious sets us into thinking what on earth beauty is. From my perspective, nature is beauty, and beauty lies in a person's kindness, friendliness and sense of responsibility. We should not blame our failure to our look. Firstly, one's appearance is the God's blessing, and has been one part of our body. After plastic surgery, some women do look amazing, but these people tend to be vulnerable to many potential diseases. The more serious effect is that they risk their own life. Secondly, the advocating for such a practice will mislead people in the judgment of beauty. The concept of beauty is quite rich in its content. It should include many virtues like honesty, diligence, and so on, which should be the real mainstream of our spiritual life. The practice and some contests about man-made beauty will confuse those who are to develop correct concept of beauty.

　　Concerning the above possible harms the practice may bring about, we are strongly against it and advocate seeking true and natural beauty. Besides, people, especially women, should lay more attention on the cultivation of their inner hearts. The inner beauty outweighs the outside beauty in the long run.

　　Emerging from the cartoon is an eye-catching scene that a man is separated into two parts, with one part representing the living standard, which is in a leading position and very rich, while the other part the moral stand, which is, on the contrary, very poor and is left far behind. Simple as it is, the symbolic meaning revealed is profound and thought-provoking.

　　We are supposed to place our attention on, instead of its funnyappearance, the implied meaning of the cartoon: improve as the living standard of some people may, they do not have their corresponding moral standard match at the same time, which is getting increasingly serious in our modern society. What can account for this undesirable situation? For one thing, they are lack of awareness of being responsible for the society, for they consider profit as their main and only target. For another reason, the relevant laws and regulations to punish those who go against moral standard are still far from perfect yet.

　　From what has been discussed above, it's safe for me to conclude that it is urgent to take some immediate and effective measures. What I recommend is that we citizens should strengthen self-cultivation, to enhance the awareness of moral establishment. In addition, the mass media should shoulder the responsibility to assure all the people the necessity of improving economic situation and moral standard at the same time. Only in these ways can this kind of trend will be curbed in the near future.
