When we see those contest on TV, all of the participants have their beauty, intelligent looks, and tolerable personality. The winner of those contest will be the representative of their country when there are international events and to promote their country. This concept is still the same as the old miss America, but there is something wrong with the old Miss America pageant. Miss America was first held in 1952. In 1968 appears some protest against Miss Contest that leads by New York Radical Women. There was must be some reasons why they do that.

The winner of Miss America had a job as the military mascot. She must support American military when there was a war between America and Vietnam.
