Is this ugly?
Ugliness is a subjective thing, it changes with fashions, it changes with time, it changes with personal taste. Such as the example above beauty may be rooted in someones beliefs. To one person (i.e. Simon) a scarf made from a dead fox may be attractive but to others it is ugly. Part of the reason why the scarf is ugly is not because of aesthetics but because of morals: the belief that an animal shouldn't be killed for any other reason than its fur.
Could a project be made out of the morals of beauty?
