PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Nowadays, everything we see or watch on TV, social networks, on the internet and even in the streets, gives us the feeling that everything that matters is your physical appearance. More than 50% of the ads we see, try to sell you something in order to improve your image. But, is that ok? Is ( the) physical appearance really so important?

First of all, we should ask ourselves if we really want children to think that way. If they get the idea of personal image being the most important thing, we’ll eventually live in a world filled up with people made of plastic, empty on the inside. On the other hand, we shouldn’t be so hypocrite and accept that we all have prejudices. Even if we really don’t want to or we deny it later, we’re used to judging people by the way they look: sadly, that’s how world works.

To sum up, the image you give is important because people give a meaning to it. Even if we don’t like it, we have to accept it. Nevertheless, we mustn’t give it too much importance either; if we do, the only thing we'll care about are our looks, and that’s definitely not a good thing , neither for yourself nor society.
