2.) No it’s never right to exclude someone based on their appearance because its not what is on the outside that counts.…
“Does people often judge people by their appearances?” The answer is definitely yes. The one who looks nice can leave a good impression on others.…
The first thing people see is the outward appearance of someone. It doesn’t always mean people act like how they dress necessarily, get to know a person and you’ll see what they’re really like. Someone might look lazy and not pay a lot of attention to their appearance, but they could be a diligent and intelligent person. Outward appearances should not affect the way the person is viewed on the inside. People also might act differently than someone else because of where they grew up and how they lived. “Human behavior is largely constrained by the rules that govern particular situations and environments. We are constantly obliged to behave in a particular way, or to avoid certain behaviors” (Burgess). That quote from the article, “Breaking the Rules,” explains the theme that you should get to know someone before you decide what to think of them, because not everyone is who they seem.…
By judging someone only by their appearance you are not giving them the chance to show what they have to offer. When you judge someone off of their looks you could be missing out on the kindest and hardworking person you have ever met. Some people can’t afford to dress in nicer clothes and just have to work with what they have. Other people prefer to dress in what makes the either feel nice about themselves or comfortable. The way a person dress should not be a major factor when it comes to judging them because they are many aspects as to why they are dressed a certain way.…
Yet, should we judge for how someone looks? I believe, that is a different story…
After doing some more research, I realized that appearance discrimination is very common, especially in the workplace. In his paper, Akst stated that “plain people earn less than people of average looks, who earn less than the good-looking” (Akst 336). However, this seems to be a very subjective means of measurement, which makes his proof seem quite weak. In fact, the entire idea of measuring one’s attractiveness seems to be very abstract and opinion-based, which is why conducting more research from more sources may be…
I do agree with the fact that you should not be affected by the appearance of a person. Transcendentalism also confirms the above idea. There are three main reasons that we should not decide to do something according to his/her appearance; First, it may lead to a misjudgment about that person. Second is the fact of differences between appearance and one's real personality. Finally, it may make you ashamed!…
Looks don't matter; its inner beauty that really counts. We grew up hearing these phrases. Our parents and teachers taught us not to judge people based on their looks. If all these things are true, then why do most of us judge people solely on their outer appearance? Why does the media put so much pressure on us to look a certain way, or fit into a specific size? Why do we still see headlines like “How to Lose Weight and Get Him to Like You”? Why does the media use severe airbrushing techniques to hide any flaws and impurities a person has? Magazines and media sites should not be allowed to drastically alter and manipulate people’s images and portray those images as the perfect goal one should strive to achieve. Being bombarded with unrealistic body images could have devastating effects on people, especially on women. Women need to start feeling happy and comfortable in their…
Our culture judges a book by its cover. People usually will judge other people by their physical appearance when they first meet someone. That first impression is how we think a person is whether it been smart, successful, confident, or the opposite. People make it so important to be looked as “normal” that they will behave and look a certain way just to be perceived as normal by the people around them.…
Choosing appearance over character causes a misfortune and is a pain to the characters in the novel Frankenstein and modern society. One’s appearance can affect their career, love life and friendships, and overall can control a person’s life. Judging upon appearance is something that affects the lives of the young and the old as well. Many miss out on the opportunity of great friendships and relationships simply for judging that person on appearance. Many people should try to first get to know a person on a spiritual level and emotional level before judging on their appearance since it can cause lifelong pain.…
He also feels that appearances are also important because they define an individual's personality & character, which enable them to be well liked and therefore gain greater achievements in life…
There is no reason for us to judge people based on their looks, they didn’t get to choose to whom they were born. Yet so many times I find myself doing this, everyone does, even if they don’t admit it. Prejudice can have a wide range of implications on the person to whom it is directed at. I believe that lots of times we don’t see these effects immediately, but they show up later on in the person’s life.…
Sometimes, the physical appearance of people are the first things that can be seen. However, when you meet somebody you should not judge them by his or her looks, because at times appearance can be deceiving. I have come to learn that people beauty can be only a mask for covering their real faces and their real characters.…
So who cares what a woman looks like on the outside? Who cares about the shallow judgments that complete strangers are quick to make about us? The only thing that should matter is how we respect the interests and beliefs of others. Because in the end, we are all part of one world, made up of different communities and families. But most importantly, we are individuals.…
Now, I’m not going to lie and say that I’ve never in my life judged a person based on their clothes, or makeup, because I have. Even though I don’t like to admit it, on many occasions I’ve met someone for the first time and assumed different aspects about them based on ones outside features. But just because I associate their appearance with certain behaviors or attitudes, doesn't mean that I stick them in a stereotype box and that's all they ever are to me.…
