In my opinion, the document from BBC about the appearance of a perfect man can be worth a rank of 4/5. I believe the document merits this ranking because the topic was explained with detailed instructions and pictures, but there are still some areas for improvement.

First, the document has a clear order that enables the reader to follow the logic in the paragraphs. On the first page, it shows some teenagers with fashionablesuits and poses, representing the figure of an ideal man nowadays. Then, the next page has an image of a black model with more muscles built than the boys from the previous picture. The model is another example of a figure of a perfect man in modern society. After that, the following section; shows a handsome man with a short beard and a dress in a dark suit. This is a form of the perfect man for most people from 2005 to 2010.

The last two pictures showed an older man with long hair and a white horse. Before 2000, a man with a gorgeous white horse, enviable and attractive long hair would be considered a perfect man. The document reviews different figures of an ideal man throughout time, starting from the modern days and going back to the old times. This can help the reader understand the change of the opinion of a perfect man and compare the different figures of it.

Also, the descriptions in the document are very detailed and analyzed. For the first picture of young boys, the report is “Stereotypical Male Aesthetics are no longer the ideal for younger people,” while the picture of the man dressed in a suit changed to “tall, dark, and handsome”. These descriptions give the readers a clear contrast between the figure of a perfect man now and the figure from ten years ago. This will also help the readers to produce their unique thoughts of the perfect man in their opinion.

Besides, as we mentioned before, the document’s aspects can be improved. Although the word’s descriptions are precise in this document, there is no diversity in the front, color, or even the position of the words. It feels like, for me, it is just reading a report paper instead of an exciting comparison document, and it will make the reader feels odd. Also, it is good to be specific, but I think the readers interested in this topic would like to read a shorter paragraph to save time since it is not a topic that can make people dive into it and study it.

Overall, this document clearly explains everything about the perfect man; anyone interested in this topic will love the explanation and picture in this document.
