After reading the 2 articles, I felt that companies should not judge their employee's by their physical appearance. Although I personally believes that physical appearance is very important in getting a job and maybe being successful in today's society. Normally, it is the first impression that counts, isn't it?

Everyday, people will judge us by the way we look and dress. Physical appearance plays an important part in how we are treated. Physical appearance usually includes: hair, facial, overall fitness, the way you hold yourself while walking, the way you talk,the way you shake someone's hand...etc. When you are going for an interview, of course you should dress up by wearing suits, trousers, tie, socks and shoes instead of T-shirt, shorts and slippers right??? Different occasions we should be dresses differently. It's just showing respect to others by the way you propose yourself.

But companies should not judge their employees whether they are ugly or not. Nobody is perfect in this world and how can beauty be judged??? Even if that person is really ugly, fat and short or whatever, he still deserve to be treated equally. Afterall, it's not his fault that he is ugly and he does not wish to be too. You can't possibly ask that person to go for plastic sugery, can you? I do believe that weight, height, race should not be the issue when looking for a job, but cleanliness and punctuality and attitude are.

I think the working ability of a person is more important than all the rest. Even if you are damn gorgeous, but you don't have the ability to work then you are nothing. If you are not really good looking, but have the right attitude and mindset towards learning and confident about yourself, then I think you will perform well at your work area. But somehow, those good looking ones will be given more chances by their employers even though they don't have the ability to. So it's quite unfair in a sense. That's just the way life is, it's NEVER fair.

I think that there ain't any laws against discrimination or physical appearance. But you just can't stop people from judging you base on your appearance, it's just the human's nature. Maybe some people can make the effort to change themselves so as to suit in the society? If you are ugly, you can put on some make up to cover up, go for facial treatment to have good complexsion skin. Worst come to worst, go for plastic surgery.( Although I don't recommend it, but if you really want then go ahead) If you are fat, try to cut down the amount of food you eat( I do not meant that you don't eat at all) and go for execise. Execise can help you to lose weight and keep fit or healthy at the same time. If you are short, I don't know what you can do except for wearing high heels but I don't think that will affect your working ability right? So it would not be a problem. The most important thing is to have good attitude because after sometimes, people will look into your personality too.

In conclusion, both inner and outer beauty are important. Have confidence in yourself because you are unique and one of a kind, there's definitely some thing in you that's good.(maybe you have already discovered it or maybe not)^.^
