Group Summary- Summary Paragraph for “The Beauty Advantage”
In today’s culture, we are consumed by one’s image idoling others with a “beauty bias.” On average, people who are good-looking get hired and make more than those who look less attractive. When an employer is looking to fill a position that has many applicants, people who are better looking have a higher chance of being hired. Hiring managers are more likely to hire those who are attractive and unqualified, ignoring where he or she went to school or where he or she received education, a new reality stating “it’s better to be average and good-looking than brilliant and unattractive” (Bennett par. 4). Beauty has more influence than it has in the past, not just coworkers, but also job opportunities entirely. Deborah Rhode, author of the Beauty Bias, once wrote, “Women will always face a double bind, expected to conform to the beauty standards of the day, yet simultaneously condemned for doing so” (Bennett par. 3). Therefore, beauty is becoming more essential when applying for a job, being hired for a job, and maintaining that job.
