Изложение
Каждый год в Венесуеле проводится конкурс традиционный красоты "Мисс Венесуела", на котором выбирают самую красивую женщину страны.
Интересно, что кроме этого, в Венесуеле проводится и конкурс красоты для мужчин ""Мистер Венесуела".
Джонни Альварез решил поставил себе амбициозную цель стать Мистером Венесуела.
Он начал готовиться, много тренировался в тренажерном зале и бегал каждый день.
Он ел только фрукты, овощи и курицу, отказавшись от хлеба, мороженого и сладостей.
Если бы он выиграл конкурс, то в добавок к известности и призам, получил бы много карьерных бонусов, потому что работал моделью.
Но не все в Венесуеле считают конкурс красоты для мужчин интересным и нужным мероприятием.
Многие мужчины говорят, что не мужское это дело играть на сцене мускулами и улыбаться в камеру.
Но они всячески приветствуют конкурс красоты для женщин, потому что считают красоту уделом женщин.
Однако сами женщины напротив с удовольствием смотрят конкурсы красоты для мужчин и считают мужчин Венесуелы самыми красивыми в мире.

Now there is another beauty contest in Venezuela. It is for men only. The most handsome man is the winner. He is "Mr. Venezuela."
Johnny Alvarez, age 23, wants to be Mr. Venezuela, so he is working hard. He is lifting weights, and he is running. He is eating a special diet, too. He is eating only fruit, vegetables, and chicken. He is not eating bread, ice cream, or candy. He wants to look good for the contest.

Questions:
1. What are beauty contests for: business, commerce, entertainment, social requirement, or deviation?
I think that beauty contests involve all of the aspects.
The first reason why I think so is that beauty comp shows are very popular among some sort of people who like to look at handsome participants. They are very good entertainment for these people so it is a high demanded social requirement.
The second reason is that a beauty comp is usually a business project because advertisement and associated commercial products can bring a lot of money. Also an SMS voting can bring some money to the cellular operator companies.
The third and final reason is that deviated people can utilize their instinctive wishes with these shows. So it is very important to occupy attention of those people to keep them at home.
To conclude I would like to say that beauty contests are very useful for business, commerce, entertainment and people occupation.

2. Why do men and women have different opinions of male beauty parades?
Some men detest male beauty parades considering it as an offensive and disgusting shows.
These men believe women as the only beauty holders and consider male beauty as an oxymoron.
In fact, these men are simply homophobes of varying degrees.
They excluded some of their unconcious wishes so as to utilize them through agression and disparaging against any man who looks after his appearance and style.
The saddest thing in this situation is that obviously these men have to emphasize their disregard to their own appearance so that not to be under group pressure.
In the same time, women are free from this group pressure because man is the opposite sex.
It is regarded that opposite sexes have to adore each other.
However many women like to look at other women because the woman is regarded as a symbol of beauty which all of people have to admire even other women.

5. Why has male beauty become a social requirement nowadays?
I believe that it is so because our world changes.
Nowadays it is a high-effective, competent and skilled person that is high demanded in the labour market.
Obviously human resource managers start to allow various manifestations of human sexualty because it is time to abandon remains of medieval morality to have a free creative human resource.
Unfortunately, some HRMs don't understand new challenges that will face their nations soon.
