Lendsey's Ideal Appearance
Lendsey, In society, if you do not have this ideal appearance, than you are more than likely going to be judged. My twin sister has struggled with weight issues all of her life, but she has a medical condition that does not allow her to lose a lot of weight. My sister wants to lose weight, but can not due to this issue. Although, many may assume that overweight individuals do not want to help themselves; they are wrong. So, therefore, I agree that individuals are judged by their weight every second of the day.

    An article “Doctors Also Biased Against Fat People,” by Neal Colgrass talks about how doctors are prejudiced against overweight patients. Colgrass wrote, “Turns out doctors are about as biased as the general public.” The general public is usually quick to make judgments against overweight people without thinking about their circumstance. I understand that weight is something one can control, however there are a lot of external influences that should be considered before making judgments. According to Colgrass, doctors who were also overweight were “more understand about overweight patients.” Doctors who are less sensitive jeopardized the patients’ emotional health and physical health.…

    How people judge obese people versus people in good physical shape. I want to know why people tend to view people who are overweight as bad, greedy, or sloppy eat and people in good shape as good, controlled, or well balanced. I find this interesting because I am diabetic and have to watch my weight by controlling what and how much I consume at every meal. It will be beneficial to me because it can give insight into possible self-esteem issues that could arise going forward. It may also help in trying to control and maintain my diabetes.…

    Across cultures and across time, surface beauty has been idealized and integrated into societies to the extent to which it is almost necessary to determine one’s societal rank or role. In many cases, those who are considered more beautiful are given luxuries that those who are less fortunate are kept from. In a time when both looks and money ruled the social scene, Charles Dickens in his novel Bleak House makes an opposing argument. Dickens claims that the preoccupation with physical beauty is trivial and is not as significant as it is believed to be in the time of garish looks and materialism because it does not always guarantee either a secure or happy future. The novel serves as a form of satire for Dickens because he makes a social commentary on the disadvantages of beauty as opposed to the ways in which having good looks can be beneficial. Both Ada and Esther are beautiful, however Ada is conventionally pretty while Esther is relatively plain. Dickens uses examples throughout Bleak House however, in which Esther fairs better than Ada because of the triviality of appearance, even when others exaggerate it’s importance. Readers can benefit from the commentary that Dickens makes because he helps to emphasize that materialistic values such as those placed on the importance of surface beauty are incorrect.…

    During the Jim Crow Era, widespread segregation came to limit bodily ownership for women of color, and placed restrictions on their individual freedoms by placing black women in a category below whites. African American women during the early and mid-twentieth centuries had to fight for the right to their own bodies due to the color of their skin, and were victim to legalized prejudice. However, these instances of discrimination were not taken lightly. Activists such as Rosa Parks sought to eliminate the legalized racism created by cases such as Plessy vs Ferguson, and sought justice for segregation, bodily protections, and equal protections under the law.…

    Is it possible for people to make comments about me for who I am as a person and not my outer appearance? This is the question I constantly asked myself everyday because most of the time I am bombarded with criticisms on how I looked. To put it bluntly, I, myself, have not met the body figure standard of what a Vietnamese woman should be. My family and relatives have always been saying that a Vietnamese girl should have a slim figure. Since I was small, I was that chubby girl, who loved to eat delicious home-cooked meals continuously and did not care about the effects of overeating. Everywhere I go, I would constantly hear comments from my parent’s friends and relatives on how obese I am and compare my figure to my cousins and friends’ appearance.…

    Stereotyping is very common among us; every individual is said to fit some sort of stereotype. People tend to judge all the time and even if we hate to admit it or not every single one of us has done it. We categorize people everyday according to race, religion, ethnic background, gender, looks etc. Often times people label and categorize others without getting to know the person first, and without considering their feelings or negative consequences the person might have due to the judgment of others. Overweight people are repeatedly misjudged because of their weight. It is said that anyone who is overweight has brought it upon him/herself by eating too much and not exercising.…

    People are characterized by many things, more often their appearance; unfortunately, it is my belief that society has placed stigmas on people who do not conform to what is considered the norm. Admittedly so, I judge others by superficial characteristics. For instance, if a person’s clothes look disheveled and their hair unkempt I assume that they are not trustworthy, unclean and probably on drugs. In contrast, when I see a person who is dressed neatly and drives a nice vehicle, I assume they are educated, have a high paying job and own a home.…
