                                        THE INCREASING INTEREST IN BEAUTY

Day by day, the importance given to physical appearance is increasing. I think this results from people's desire to win recognition or respect from the others. This lead them to be more and more beautiful as they think that when they are beautiful, their friends or companions will accept them easily. Indeed, it is true; that is, everbody is drawn by the outer beauty. For instance, surely you had such experiences in elementary or secondary school that a beautiful girl or a handsome boy has so many friends and their thoughts or ideas are regarded as more important from that of the others. You can always see a lot of people around such people because of their recognition resulting from their beauties. It also might be the desire to be admired by the opposite sex. It is a fact that a person who is beautiful or handsome, and has a good-looking is admired by the other because one's having beauty creates a good impression on people on the first look. For example, the guys always look for the girls' beauty first of all, and the girls are same, too. If a girl has uneducated or not smart, rude but she is beatiful there are still many guys want her and if a guy is a bad person but he has good-looking, so the girls still like him. Moreover, I am of the opinion that if one is beautiful, he/she has more chance in work life in terms of being hired as most of the employers are influenced by the appearance of the candidates in job interviews, and of course their decisions are also shaped in this way. For instance, what I realize in every company is that all staff members or employees are good-looking people and generally the managers are handsome or beautiful, too. As far as I understand, it is important to have a charisma in work life for every stage. That is, outer beauty is also important for work life. The beauty is gaining more and more importance, and if you have outer beauty most of the doors in life is open to you.
