Do Competitions Such As Miss World Have Any Place In A Modern World ?

We Asked OLBG members Do Competitions Such As Miss World Have Any Place In A Modern World? 

The competition might not appeal to a lot of people but it means a lot to the competitors. For people from humble backgrounds it may be a way of getting out of the poverty trap.

OLBG Member: dvcireland

Beauty has been venerated since ancient times. Maybe certain aspects of it could be outdated, but not the whole concept.

OLBG Member: Tigerled

I do believe that there is no place for pageants like this in the modern world. Women are strong and equal, they shouldn't be open to entering glamorous events like this just for show.

OLBG Member: lola1183

This is just a competition that allows an individual to showcase what he or she has in respect of their talent. I think in the modern world these competitions are just fun.

OLBG Member: Mikoone

I don't care either way in all honesty. I don't see any reason for it to stop, nor do I care if it continues. The modern world needs to stop crying about everything.
