A Debate "What is Beauty?"

The members of English Club had a chance to start their debate on "What is Beauty?". The fastest way to transform your mind is to surround yourself with beauty. Interesting and compelling, isn’t it! Beauty. We all want it, gravitate to it, seek it out, admire it, strive to surround ourselves with it, and sacrifice to embody it. But could it be that what is pleasing to the eye is more than just visual eye-candy? What if beauty were a force, a power that could change your life? What if beauty held within it the seeds of a greater growth and inspirational quality of life? Let's start this debate with us right now.
