Denis Dutton in his TED Talks presented an argument about beauty. In his speech he maintained that beauty is not subjective matter or “ in the eye of the beholder” as we used to believe. And also it is not a culturally conditioned eye of the beholder, as the academia likes to think about it. It goes back to evolution origins of human being; our ancestors passed on the genes of what is to be considered beautiful. According to his description of beauty it is not limited to the physical appearance or nature but it broadens to embrace music, art, and skilled human actions. Therefore, this theory is justifying the universal conformity of beauty that is shared by different nations and cultures.
You correctly identified and summarized the central point of this talk, Sabha! There are a few little grammatical errors you might want to work on, though (e.g. "academia" should have no article, unlike the synonym "The Academy" ;-) ).
