Aesthetic

                Have you even wondered why do we have so many types of buildings? Why do we need different kinds of clothes? Why do we have so many unique styles of cars? We can see that in our world today, there are so many things that are different in appearance but exactly the same function and use. So the main question should be, why do people always choose different things? It is because that fact that we have different tastes, that’s why.

                The word Aesthetic can be refer to taste, actually it is the same thing. Aesthetic means the ability to decide and judge everything around us. We tended to choose what we think it best for us and sometimes for people around us as well. The society that we lived in today has so many kinds of things that we can choose, for example in fashion, we have over hundreds types of a t-shirt that we can choose. We can see that aesthetic make people choose the ones that they liked and related to their personal tastes. The same principals can be seen in other things as well .Basically the rules can be applied automatically to everything that has more than one option for us to choose.

                Now come to the aesthetic and architecture, aesthetic has a lot of impact directly to buildings than we might think of. In class, we are had a chance to choose between two buildings that almost all of us never seen or heard of, we had to choose one of them based on our taste only. The result was a little bit of surprise, yes, all of us have different tastes but the thing that are amazing about it is the fact that we had different reasons as well on the same answer. We can see that in architecture, it is quite a great challenge to create a building that can serve all the people tastes, actually I think it is impossible, and that is how thing works. In fact, we should say thank you to our nature to judge and to hate things, because this is the reason why we always develop and changing, we never stop at some point, and we will always want something new and unique all the time.

                As I said earlier that aesthetic is not only about personal taste, in fact society is another main factor that determine our aesthetic. If you have a trouble imagine what I am trying to say, just imagine those female Korean singers and models. You might probably noticed in just a few seconds that they all look very much alike each other. Actually so many of them look alike each other that you cannot tell which one is the one who has been copied. The main point is not about copy rights but it is about how media manipulates people, this shows us the fact that sometimes our ability to judge what is best for us were made from others people not ourselves. This is also why many people choose to follow celebrities on the television and in the end becomes a trend for certain groups. It is because aesthetic nowadays are not only about personal acceptations anymore, getting acceptation from the society is almost as important as well.

                So, I would say that aesthetic, are mainly a good thing that helps our society to move on from old things. Its helps the society to keep creating newer and better things to replace the previous ones that has been overused or over bored. Even that it can be manipulated by many factors but it is still better than not changing at all. It is one of the most useful emotions in our lives and society and will always be useful for all the developing society.
