Abstract

My paper is directed towards businessmen and women and business students. People who read Business Week Magazine are well educated and knowledgeable about numerous aspects of business and are most likely aware of the controversies due to treatment in the work force. Owing to their involvement in the business world, many of these people are greatly concerned with educating themselves on the process of hiring and possible laws that could affect future business practices.Everyday, people trust their senses and instincts to evaluate situations. In today's society, the magnitude of appearance is greater than ever due to the media, popular beliefs and current fashion trends. People constantly consider appearance when making decisions because, as New York Times writer Daphne Merkin proclaims, "We live in a profoundly surface-oriented, lookist culture;" (2). However, it is inappropriate and immoral to judge a person's worth, skill, or importance by their appearance. According to the Harvard Law Review, "Physical attractiveness discrimination provides a window on the criteria that our society uses to distinguish among people." This represents how we utilize ambiguous ideas to "Separate good from bad, acceptable from unacceptable, and normal from deviant"
