This chapter was about beauty and how it affects our life’s. Starting at birth, parents are more likely to give attention to beautiful babies then ugly ones. From there, teachers and fellow children will treat that person based on their looks. Teachers see beautiful children as well behaving and smart. Other children see beauty as friendly and socially acceptable. There was a study mention where they gave teachers a scenario and asked to rate the child. When teachers saw beautiful children, they would say that the child’s general behavior is fine. The teacher would go on with saying how everyone has a bad day now and again. Teachers who got uglier children to rate said how they seemed to misbehave, repeat past transgressions, and even called them a brat. In college, beautiful people can turn in work that would warrant a F and get a passable grade. Our entire life is base on if we were blessed with good looks or not. Me personally speaking, I can’t recall a time when an important matter’s result was based on my looks. I have been bullied a little bit for having at best an average face and a fat body. Those times were more in elementary, and it seemed to happen only with girls.
