9、, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women。 Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runaways。 The parliament als
10、o agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting。Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives。 They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health。 Thats a start。 And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting m
11、odels from starving themselves to death-as some have done。 It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth。The bans, if fully enforced,would suggest
12、 to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty。 And perhaps faintly,they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques。The French measures, however, rely too m
13、uch on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing。 Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison。The fashion industry knows it has an inherent
14、problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types。 In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement。In contrast to Frances actions, Denmarks fashion industr
15、y agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models。 The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states: “We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people。” Th
16、e charters main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute。 But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance。Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the mis
17、use of body ideals may be the best step。 Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry。21。 According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?ANew runways would be constructed。BPhysical beauty would be redefined。CWebsites abo

21、 the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country。 In Britain this has had a curious result。 While polls show Britons rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has lim
22、ited political support。A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone forever。” It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a refreshing air。” Hills press
23、ures later led to the creation of national parks and green belts。 They dont make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes more of it。 It needs constant guardianship。At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment。 The Conservatives planning reform exp
24、licitly gives rural development priority over conservation, even authorizing“off-plan” building where local people might object。 The concept of sustainable development has been defined as profitable。 Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development。 The Liberal D
25、emocrats are silent。 Only Ukip, sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land。 Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local Conservative parties。The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people
26、 are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place。 The London agents StirlingAckroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone, with no intrusion on green belt。 What is true of London is even truer of the provinces。The idea that “housing crisis” equ
27、als “concreted meadows” is pure lobby talk。 The issue is not the need for more houses but, as always, where to put them。 Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal。 He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets。 This is not a free m
28、arket but a biased one。 Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow。 They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character。 We do not ruin urban conservation areas。 Why ruin rural ones?Development should be planned, not let rip。 After the Netherlands, Britain
29、 is Europes most crowded country。 Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living。 There is no doubt of the alternativethe corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland。 Avoiding this rath
