I need to pick three countries/times and show the differences of their thoughts of beauty. I was aiming for a country in the Middle East, something in Asia and maybe beauty in another part of the world or just three distinct times in American history.
Could you please give me some examples or links to this information?
Answer
You could do three examples of body modification

Mauritania's 'wife-fattening' (arab-perhaps middle east)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3429903.stm
alternately you could do the USA and Europe
corseting in Victorian times
the boyish body popular in the 1920's -focus especially on flappers
and then the play-boy bunny/barbie ideal of 36-24-36 (36 inch bust circumference, 24 inch waist circumference, 36 inch hip circumference)(1960's-present)
maybe tie this into society's view of women, and women's view of themselves in these times and places to make it a stellar paper.

Does anyone know the evolution of the panda?
RAWR! X3
At least their names and where and when they came in and if possible some pics of them.
Answer
Hi hope this helps?
The Red panda was the first panda discovered in 1821, forty-eight years before the giant black and white pandas were found in 1869.
The Giant lovable and charismatic panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most endangered. Found only in China, one of the world's most populous countries, the giant panda clings to survival, facing habitat fragmentation and poaching as its greatest threats. It is estimated that as few as 1,600 pandas remain in the wild today.
The scientific name of the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca, means "black and white cat-footed." Over the past 3,000 years, the much-loved panda has acquired over 30 different Chinese names. Today, the most widely used Chinese name is da xiongmao (dah-shung-mah-ow), translated into English it means "large bear-cat."
The Legend of How Pandas Got Their Markings
Long ago a family of humble shepherds made its home in the remote hills of China. Each day the shepherds led their animals to graze in the pastures near the bamboo forest. Frequently a little panda would wander from the forest to join the flock. Perhaps the young panda mistook the sheep for its own kind, for in those days pandas were all white. One day, as the panda roamed among the sheep, a huge leopard sprang from the forest. The sheep scattered and ran away, but the little panda was too slow to escape. He surely would have been killed by the leopard if not for the bravery of a young shepherdess. She ran to her friend's aid and began beating the leopard furiously with a stick. The leopard turned from the panda and attacked the girl. Although she fought bravely, the shepherdess was no match for the leopard. News of the shepherdess' brave deed quickly spread through the forest. When the other pandas heard the story, they began to cry and throw ashes upon themselves in mourning. As they wiped their tears away, their dirty paws left dark smudges around their eyes. As they hugged each other, their paws stained their arms and legs. And when the pandas tried to muffle the sound of their sobs by covering their ears, they blackened them as well. Ever since that day, pandas have worn these markings out of respect for the shepherdess who died so that one of their kind might live.
Range
Fossil evidence indicates that giant pandas were widely distributed throughout eastern China, as far north as Beijing, and as far west as Burma. Currently, they are only found in mountainous areas of southwestern China. Most of the wild population live in the province of Sichuan; some pandas also inhabit the provinces of Gansu and Shaanxi.
