There is a certain amount of truth to the point that they are being
moulded to fit the standards of beauty of the West and more specifically
moulded in every way to win one particular competition.
I don't see the problem - it's just like training for any sporting
competition.There are certain criteria for winning Miss World..if you want
to win it, you pick the people who are likely to win it and train them to
the best of your ability. If the concept offends you, don't compete in
that competition.
Frankly, this doesn't seem very different (to me) from providing
"accent training" to a call centre employee. From all accounts, the
women who enter these competitions view the training they receive as
an important career step.
