A.  Summary of "A Darwinian Theory of Beauty"
       In the TED Talk "A Darwinian Theory of Beauty", the speaker explains beauty from intellectually, philosophically, psychologically. He describes what the beauty is from Darwinian Theory and the source of aesthetic pleasure. After that, he says that the difference in beauty between nature and art. Finally, he tells us the beauty is forever in our heart.
     In the talk, I caught some attention. He said any intense and pleasing beauty experience is part of our human psychology after evolution. I disagree with it. In my opinion, everything that is living has intense and pleasing beauty experience. However, they express it in different ways that we don't know. For example, a monkey thinks it is a pleasing beauty experience if they can eat a banana. The beauty experience comes from its heart. In addition, he said that another major principle of evolution is a sexual choice. I am interested in it. According to the word of the speaker, evolution has a special attraction to make us choose for something.

B.     A person
I think it is beautiful because it shows the warmth and happiness of a family.  
         An object 
I think it is beautiful because it shows many different shapes.
      A landscape 
I think it is beautiful because it looks like a married venue and represents happiness.

      An artwork 
I think it is beautiful because the form of the persons is vividly expressed in the picture.
