Makeup helps modify a person's appearance.
Originating from the Latin word aspectus , the concept of aspect refers to the appearance of subjects and objects that can be captured through vision.
For example: “That man looks very out of line,” “Grandpa's jovial appearance is amazing,” “The river looks bad, it's better not to swim here.”
The aspect at a social and symbolic level
Appearance or physical appearance is a highly valued issue in today's society, due to the existence of stereotyped beauty canons that tend to leave out a large part of the population, a situation that triggers pressures, internal conflicts and psychological disorders.
This obligation to look good and have an appearance in accordance with social dictates can lead to disorders such as bulimia or anorexia .
On the other hand, appearance allows us to highlight the facet or nuance of a certain thing: “Today we are going to talk about the most important aspects of this artist's pictorial work” , “The president's speech can be analyzed from several different aspects” .
Paint can improve the look of a wall.
body dysmorphic disorder
Also known as dysmorphophobia , it is a very serious disorder that, despite affecting many people, is practically unknown. Basically, it consists of a distorted perception of one's own appearance , which leads the person to believe that they are physically unpleasant. However, the nuances of this disease are innumerable, as well as the severity and consequences.
In general, the problem begins with a particular physical feature or part of the body that is so frightening in the patient's own eyes that they lead him to think that he cannot appear in public with said defect, since that would only generate teasing, rejection by those to whom he was sexually attracted and constant observation.
Those who suffer from this illness speak of themselves as monsters, and in general fear exposure in public places, avoid halogen lights, try to cover parts of their body that they consider defective, and lead a conflictive sexual life, when they do not live in absolute chastity. In the most severe cases, dysmorphophobes undergo numerous plastic surgeries in order to correct their defects, but they never succeed; Their view of themselves and that aspect of themselves that they do not like is so negative that the solution does not consist of a material modification, but rather a change in mental mechanisms.
The aspect in astronomy, grammar and video
In the field of astronomy , the notion of aspect is used to describe the phases and eventual condition of two stars with respect to the celestial houses where they are located. In this sense, it refers to the movement of the planets in the celestial sphere.
In linguistics , the grammatical aspect is the property that allows us to demonstrate the internal development of a certain verbal action. This is a grammatical category that makes it clear whether the verb has concluded or not at the moment of utterance.
It is important to differentiate between the grammatical aspect and the tense . This marks the moment that something happens in relation to everything else. The aspect, on the other hand, is the internal time of the action, the development phase or its modification.
In the field of image and video , the aspect ratio is obtained through the ratio between the width and the height. The two most common values for home consumption are 4:3 and 16:9 . The first corresponds to the format of the most popular televisions and monitors before the high definition era ; They are rectangular, but they are very close to being square. The second nomenclature is directly linked to DVD and Blu-ray content, and is usually called panoramic; In this case, the shape is clearly rectangular, being considerably wider than it is tall (almost double).
