FREE ESSAY ON BEING A BEAUTIFUL

BEING A BEAUTIFUL

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.
