Human appearance

Although all people are made the same way in every culture, the different human beings are still judged by their physical appearance. "Poor Fish" and "The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband" can describe the negative attitude towards different people. In the story "Poor Fish" by Alberto Moravia, the couple of a poor dishwasher and girl named Ida was not accepted by another couple who seemed very strong and powerful, because they were just odd looking. In "The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband", Mr…

Robinson, illustrates great significance with depression that reflects in today’s upper class societal issues. His poem is about a rich man that commits suicide and the thoughts of the people who encounter him during his everyday life. Outward appearances are not always, what it seems. Those who suffer from depression can appear to be happy and loving people on the outside, but on the inside, can be suffering from unrelenting nightmares. While money does not always buy happiness, companionship…

As a whole, society will always make the first judgement of a person based off of their appearance. If there is anything Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, has taught me, it is that the outer shell of another individual will more than likely be deceiving. Because of this, a judgement based solely on the way someone looks is invalid compared to the assessment of a personality. This theme is displayed often throughout the novel, such as instances involving Walter Cunningham, Boo Radley,…

external beauty of a person is often the first thing that we pay attention to. We live in a universe where the media takes over the world. People always want more than what they already have, which create a temptation into the human desire. The media is providing the happiness human being are searching for which can only achieve and see externally. Therefore, women are affected, physically and mentally, as they try to meet the society expectations of what women should look like. As stated…

Passing is an ability that not all people possess. To be able to pass as something you are not takes a lot of time and effort, sadly some people never reach to pass along and those who do find themselves field with more self-loathing as they are loathed. We live in such a judgmental society where individuals have no self-acceptance. Where the majority crave to be the stander of beauty, which is white. In this society minorities are taught to believe that whiteness is the paragon of beauty, that…

adults is one of the most common problems that young adults face today. Throughout the day you are bound to see your self appearance whether that be in a mirror, reflection or shadow. When it comes to seeing myself physically it differs from day to day due to my struggle with depression and anxiety. We throw the terms "anxiety" and "depression" around as if they are the average human experience. They are not. Anxiety and worrying are not the same things. People and go ahead and google what it is…

people think of the word beauty they think about women and their appearance. For many people, the word beauty also revolves around the cosmetic and fashion industry. Some believe that beauty simply means how “beautiful” someone looks based on their everyday appearance, choice of clothing or the way their makeup looks. But yet, beauty is so much more than this. To be completely honest, this is not what beauty is at all. How has the human race gained this perspective about women? The media has…

Its focus has primarily been projected on the “importance” of physical appearance; as in coming from the aspiration for a certain face shape, weighing 10 pounds less, or maybe even having a better smile. The feelings for a longing of being liked or appealing to others have only resulted in a decrease in confidence, and an increase…

such as facial symmetry, eyes, and cheek structure may always be appealing to others, while lineaments that have to do with clothing, cosmetics, and hair may come and go with the times. Quite possibly the most notable characteristic that can make a human being appealing is to be an athlete. Athletes everywhere are posted on billboards and portrayed as gods among men. Some athletes land million dollar endorsement deals every year just based on their looks…

In some point of our lives, we all have at least once trying to alter our appearances. We do that not because we are unhappy with our looks, but it is just how we satisfy our desires. The way we decorate our body can stick with the term of “body art”. However, among various forms of body art, people with tattoos and piercings tend to receive negative criticisms from society, especially in Vietnam. Sadly, I am a victim of those prejudices from Vietnamese people. Anyhow, I am not blaming people…
