Hello dear blog readers!
then this is the first time that I write about a political rather than a theological issue. While I think that this can not be separated from each other but with this post I can possibly appeal to people that God does not have as much in his hat. And although it's about ne thing that haunted me for quite some time: The classification of people into beautiful and ugly also called lookism.
We know this: we go through the town with friends and sooner or later, you see homeless people or people NEN the not quite fit into the cityscape. Direct, whispering: "Dude, did you see the look Look like?"
Other situation: You write letters of application. What may be missing in no case? The application photo of course. From the beginning, people will not visually match sorted out in the profession. Man leaves his job professionally, of course, make photos with the photographer. Some photos are shot, and it is selected when you look at the "best" on it. I know it by myself I'm looking for photographers appointments usually better to dress up as for the actual interview. The 1 Impressions count is then said. Such statements are becoming increasingly we are in a Society to live in the surface (the first glance) seem more important than what's really in man's inside. An application photo suddenly says more about the people than one would like. And in school you learn the job for you is to take photos please do not leave pictures or similar images. But why? This picture shows at least a little bit taken on the personality of man as a neutral, clinically clean image in a stuffy room photographer. Why no photos rather than apply themselves painted portraits are required of one. These say many times longer than humans. And so on. Discrimination against people not of the beauty standards of society match begins in kindergarten to children from families where the money for good clothes often by other children are excluded and bullied. And the latest at the secondary school it is important that you read the clothing and the wearing of the mark because otherwise you're not cool. The worst form of discrimination, however, children learn through the so-called "disability" by nature do not meet the beauty standard, for example, children with "jug ears" or a "harelip." Even girls with short hair and boys with more tight clothes are often treated like lepers by their surroundings. It is very sad but unfortunately it is. The only thing you can do is a clear signal to lookism and all other forms of discrimination share and speak out against it.
