Does being beautiful mean you have to be sexy and promiscuous? The talent portion of the pageant consists of the children dancing sexually, winking, posing and blowing kisses to the judges. This kind of activity pressures little girls to be flirtatious and engage in sexual actives at a young age. Today’s pageants force children to do everything an adult would do and wear, ultimately leading them to believe they are mature enough to behave and engage in the same activities as adults do.

These women hold goals for themselves and some have goals to help their communities. Doing the competitions are a excellent place for their goals to be fostered and for them to grow.

'Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love you keep pretending, performing. You get to love your pretence.

Pageants supporters believe the competitions to have a positive impact on their participants because they teach important skills, provide opportunities, and supply an outlet for young girls. Sabrina Nooruddin, who has dedicated most of her adult life to empowering girls with her program, Beauty Without Barriers, knows first hand the skills that pageantry can instill in young girls. After competing for four years, she confidently tells USA Today that, “[She is] a true believer in the confidence and character that pageantry builds.” [Nooruddin P2].

Fresh water is less dense than salt water, which causes fresh water to accumulate on the top surface of the salt water. In the brine experiment, I concluded that freshwater has a density of 1.0 g/ml and salt water has a density of 1.025g/ml. After removing the cups of salt water and freshwater from the freezer it was evident that the freshwater was frozen throughout, however the salt water had a layer of water below the freezing fresh water. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.

Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most famous yet haunting plays.
