In the work front, some of you might be wondering why any woman would willingly embrace
fashion (particularly high heels). One shouldn’t be surprise that virtually all
females consider their looks as key to their self-image. There’s a survey
carried out sometime ago that found out over half of young women said they
would prefer to be hit by a truck than be fat…..lol….
Should “Discriminating against people on the grounds of personal
appearance” be banned??? It limits a
person's right to equal opportunity, reinforces the subordination of groups
where unappealing characteristics, including obesity, are concentrated (ie, the
poor, some ethnic minorities), and restricts self-expression. Yet because
ugliness is harder to define than race or sex, some argue that anti-discrimination
laws are impossible to maintain. And anyway, say employers, appearance is often
relevant to the job at hand. Just ask my Boss....lol...
Though it could be tough but they can be dealt with. Occasionally beauty
is essential to a business ( e.g. modelling, but how about airline crew????). Looks
do not reflect an air crew’s effectiveness, but it often reflect the biases
of employers, not customers.
Whatever it is one cant argue that, “attractiveness” is important for success. It is especially
valuable for poor people, young people, the newly arrived and the otherwise
unqualified. It literally opens doors for you.Sexualised images are everywhere, and the world that has emerged is one
in which no one can afford to pretend beauty does not matter.
Men too, having
lost their monopoly of well-paid jobs, are investing in to enhance their appeal to mates and
employers. They are marching off to gyms and discovering face cream, going for
botox & fillers in record numbers.
