Summary OfWhat Meets The Eye By Daniel Akst

In the video “Why thinking you’re ugly is bad for you” , by Meaghan Ramsey talks about how having a low self- esteem can affect young women more than gentlemen in academics and in daily activities. She states that “six out of ten girls are refusing to get involved in anything because they worry about how they look” (4:44) .Although, many young adults deny that they care about how they look or what people think of them deep down they do because they just want to “fit in”. In this video they do agree with the fact that self-esteem does affect a person 's success because of they think more about their appearance than their academics.

In chapter 8 Looking Out Looking in by Ronald. B. Adler it talks about why we form relationships , well most people desire relationships. Appearance is especially important in relationships whether it is in person or social media. Appearance is also the most important feature people look for, skills and intelligence are secondary. Being in a relationship causes partners to create positive illusions. In relationships we also look for similarity we like people who are similar to us.

Passage: Some might argue that traditional good looks are not an indication of a person’s real attractiveness.

The central message of this work is that society is obsessed with appearances. The point the author is trying to make is beauty should not be the most important trait of a person. In today’s society everything is based on looks, people are more concerned about a person’s outward appearance. People strive to

Looks can be a very determining factor, and sometimes people's appearances can affect what she or he can or can not do in society and what they do to fit into it. The play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, is a good example of how this idea is put into play. The main character, Cyrano de Bergerac, is portrayed as a hideous person, because of the size of his nose. As someone who does not fit with in society, yet he changes his morals, attitude, and personality to make up for his grotesque appearance. As the play progresses from act to act we the readers realize that Cyrano is this magnificent character. We begin to understand how his ugliness has shaped his life, how the deformity on his face has forced him to learn new skills and to

There is a phrase,” Don’t judge a book by its cover”, that has been taught over and over. It conveys that individuals should not pass judgment on others based on their looks but rather to look past their external appearance. The sad truth is that everyone does judge books by their covers; it is the first thing a person does. To put it another way, appearances influence how one is perceived and there are countless ways to prove this. One example would be in the book Lord of The Flies by William Golding. The author uses Piggy’s character and symbolism to demonstrate how his appearance impacts how his intelligence is perceived.

The idea of outward appearance has been a debated concept for a long time and both sides of the argument have reasons to believe what they do according to netfortris.com: “These basic steps will go a long way towards presenting the best possible outward appearance for your organization, and will ultimately make your company more successful.” The author of this article associates appearance with success. In this sense the success is that of a company but other sources may say that there is personal success in appearance. Some say that social success is dependent on how the person looks to others. These essays both say the opposite, that nothing is dependent on appearance, not on age, skin color, hobbies, or anything else.

Since the dawn of time, women have been judged based on their looks. In today’s society, women who are conventionally beautiful are seen as less capable than the rest of the population, especially men. As a girl in today’s society, I’ve been judged based on my looks since the day I was born. Every woman on television, in movies, or in magazines is harshly photo shopped to fit the standards society has set for physical beauty. When you grow up in that sort of environment, you have no say in whether or not that affects you. Orual, Redival, and Psyche are experiencing the same situation in Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. In their own ways, each girl’s thoughts and action were determined solely be the world’s impression of them.

This article argues that physical appearance matters. In this society, children are being told lies and adults have trouble explain away the importance of physical appearance. This article gives an example of how a poor physical feature affected Robert Hoge’s life since birth. This article was written as an open discussion post. I will be using this source as an example of how physical attractiveness can affect one’s life.

Steven Greenhouse, writer for New York Times, states in his article “Going for the Look,but Risking Discrimination”, that companies are hiring people based only on how attractive they look and are risking discrimination because of it. Greenhouse then supports his claim by giving examples, like L’Oreal, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, and W Hotel. He next proceeds to show that hiring based off looks can result in lawsuits and discrimination. Finally, he informs that stores have hired good looking people who are incompetent rather than hiring someone who is not that good looking but is experienced. Greenhouse’s purpose is to show that although it is not illegal to only hire attractive people, it might not be morally correct to just hire on looks.

looks can be so very deciving .but dont judge a book by its cover nor take life for granted and know that

Everyone has a desire of being better than the others in many ways. The most common wish of many is to look physically beautiful. This is the reason why physical attraction and presentation is seen as an important element of a candidate's profile at the time of recruitment. Where the discrimination favors physically attractive people, it has a tendency of causing mental trauma to those with average or to be more precise normal looks. The bias in favor of physically attractive people is robust, with attractive people being perceived as more sociable, happier

Society today has their dilemma with looks. Yet, LaBute states that the play from “Fat Pig” didn’t happened in real life, but it happens all around the country. the play is about a man and a overweight woman in a romantic relationship. However, The co workers were skeptical about the girl he was with. So, they started to criticize his girlfriend about her size. I believe that the author didn’t state anything from the place since it’s based on society of looks. Where Jeannie was jealous of Tom’s girlfriend because she has a personality, not the look. Then society today always want a charming girl or guy like a celebrity or a model that people wants to be with or to be like that's their preference. Also, I believe that society affects our

The first section addresses the question of whether it is possible to use measures of beauty to analyze the role of looks in the labour market. Since, it would be futile to examine the effect of beauty on employment if there is no mutual agreement on what defines beauty. Using data from
