The Importance Of Being Beautiful Essay, Research Paper

Everyday we make assumptions by what we can see physically. Even in the supermarkets, we distinguish good products from bad products based on how they look. We are apt to choose good-looking products because they don ft have flaws, cracks, and bruises. Moreover, we assume them to have good qualities and good tastes. Actually, taste doesn ft deal with its looking. However, we bias in favor of beauty due to human nature. Since people judge human beings based on how they look, it fs called discrimination.

Unfortunately, the society we live, benefits beautiful people more than physically unattractive people who has better qualities. Therefore, advantages enjoyed by those beautiful people, are countless. Such as marriage, career, and school-grade are typical examples of their advantage. We likely to expect to be treated equally, but we are not treated as the same in the real world. I believe judging people based on their appearance only disadvantage people. Success must be depend on effort, talent, and intelligence. As long as we can ft stop discriminating people based on appearance, people can ft achieve enough opportunity and real success. There is the question of how to change the system of unfair treatment based on appearance.

Recently, lots of people have cosmetic surgery on their face and body. Some religious teach their people that altering their body is profane because our bodies are gifts from god. However, cosmetic surgery introduces us cutting edge technologies and become popular. The reason why many people get surgery is because they improve their appearance in order to be treated much better. The benefits for those people are success in their careers, marriage with rich men, and more chances to become popular. I know some waitresses whose tips depend on how well customers like them. Most male customer care how waitresses look. Being beautiful is needed to be accepted by the society, especially for women, somehow. Women are judged by men who want beautiful women in their society. It fs a men world. Cosmetic surgery is a reflection of the society where beauty is stratified. I don ft think cosmetic surgery is a good resolution to achieve fair treatment from the society because it doesn ft overthrow fundamental problem.

Today, women have more jobs available. Unfortunately, lots of women meet difficulties to get jobs or to succeed because they are not beautiful. Some women get cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance, and others struggle from unfairly treatments. I think these are very important for us to report, talk about , and protest when we are treated unfairly based on how we look. It is difficult to stop people from thinking of beauty. However, we can teach them it is very vulgar to judge people by their appearance. There are more we can do. We use the media such as T.V, radio, and magazines to influence our values and how we define beauty. The mass media send us beautiful images which cause stereotypes. Beautiful images via to those media are implanted in our mind unconsciously. As much as I can see from T.V commercial, I get lots of sexual, unfair, and discriminated message of being beautiful. Skinny beautiful woman in diet Shakes commercial and muscular handsome men and Cindy, a beautiful super model in Gymnastic Commercial are examples. We have to eliminate these stereotyped messages of being beauty.

In my conclusion, person perception is so powerful that stratification of beauty benefit only certain people who are ranked on the top of the pyramid. Less of people had to struggle from unfair treatment based on their appearance due to discrimination. To me, beauty is to make effort, to be kind to everybody without discrimination, to be positive. I think the norm how we define beauty, is effected by environment. The culture of the society never be highly advanced with bias for beauty. We can free ourselves by eliminating stereotyped messages of being beauty from the media, publishing issues about discrimination based on appearance, report cases, protest against unfair treatment, and education in order to achieve fair opportunity, real success and freedom being natural.
