How to Ace Questions on Social and Moral Issues During a Beauty Pageant

There are no right and wrong answers to social questions as a pageant contestant, but there are ways to answer.

In a beauty pageant, there are no right or wrong answers. While it is true that there are two sides to any social and moral issue, you can effectively express your views without offending either sector.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Take the opportunity to show the judges you are a thoughtful, caring and well-informed individual. Don't cop out of answering the question. If you cop out, the judges will think you don't have informed opinions.

2. Find an event in your life or the life of someone close to you where the issue has presented itself. Mentioning this event will demonstrate to the judges that you can bring a personal touch to large, abstract issues.

3. Choose your language carefully. You can be for or against any issue, but if you don't justify your answer with your personal experience you will fail to ace the question.

4. Your answer should be concise and straightforward. Don't give the judges your life story.

5. Leave yourself a little running room. Recognize that although a sector of the population may disagree with you, your views are formed through your personal experience.

Tips & Warnings

• Speak from the heart on every issue. Don't tell the judges what you think they want to hear.
