Should foot binding have been outlawed or should it have been allowed as a cultural tradition? NEED NOW!!

Footbinding has been compared to other ways to “perfect” the female body. Similar to corsets, they helped cause permanent damage and pain to those who engaged in them. This tradition was seen to have caused immense

pain and torture, so it was eventually brought to an end. Foot binding also caused many deaths because of the high infection rates or because many girls just couldn't stand the pain. Many thought that it was worth deforming once self and possibly becoming disable in order to be seen as "beautiful". I believe that the Chinese Government did the right thing in banning this practice, it destroyed the lives of many girls, and further damaged the viewing of the female body.
