 1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of study

Due the popularity of obsession in beauty nowadays is makes our society be in

disquiet situations. It is because beauty has always been one of society great obsessions.
Since the Ancient Greeks, humans have struggled with an overvaluation of aesthetic appeal.
In today’s media saturated world where we are bombarded by images what we should look
like and what we fail to look like, it is worse than ever. In addition of our world have a lot of
company that sell the beauty thing even it good for health and vice versa.

On a scientific level, it can be argued that there is an evolutionary reason behind our
preference for attracted to them in order to give our offspring the best chances of living and
continuing the species. However, the extremes to which we have taken the idea of beauty
and the exclusivity of the features which we deem beautiful today are a far cry from traits
which carry inherent evolutionary benefit. Conversely, they are having a huge and harmful
effect particularly on girls, women and even its included man also in nowadays.

Especially for women, the emphasis on physical attractiveness is detrimental to

mental and sometimes by extension, physical health. The effects of the media on young
girls’ development has been well documented and has led to a rise in eating disorders, low
esteem, depression and many more. A much insidious side effect is our own unwitting
digestion of the idea of beauty as a woman’s single most defining features. Recent examples
in pop culture of the extent to which we’ve assimilated this message into our underlying
estimation of a person’s worth are both striking and disturbing. So, the student of
International Islamic University Gombak, Malaysia is interested in studying the level of
obsession to beauty. There are 100 students from Bachelor of Allied health. The variables of
interest in this study are their level obsession to beauty. Only 92 students will be selected as
