Beauty Contest
Have you watched the Miss Indonesia event
recently? It was held on Friday night, (June 5, 2007). It was very luxurious
and glory. There were 33 participants, representative of 33 provinces in
Indonesia, joined these event. Finally, the finalist from Jakarta, Karenina
Sunny Halim, became the winner of this event. She is Steve Emanuel’s younger
sister. Meanwhile, the representative from West Sulawesi, Melati Putri Kusuma
Dewi, became the runner-up. In the third position was Viviane as representative
from Bali Province. The other categories
achieved by different contestants.
The winner of this event will be sent to
international beauty contest “Miss World 2010” that will be held in
Johannesburg, South Africa. The delegate’s mission is to promote the Indonesian
tourism and culture to the international community. And, she will be the
representative of this country to promote it.
Actually, this is still contradicted.
Lots of communities in this country strongly disagree about this decision. They
said that some of the items in that contest are contrast to Eastern culture,
such as bikini session on the catwalk and having sexy photos. Besides that,
they also argue that there are still many other ways to promote our tourism and
culture to international communities; not through this event.
To Discuss:
1. What do you
think about international beauty contest?
2. What are the
strengths and weaknesses of this event? Why?
3. Do you think
this is a good way to promote our culture?
4. If you were
elected as Indonesian delegate to attend international beauty contest in
Johannesburg, what would you do?
5. In what way we
should promote our tourism and culture? Explain!
To Debate:
“This house would never send delegate to
international beauty contest”
Have a nice Discussion!!!
