Wed, April 9 2014 discussion

We will be discussing the benefits of being more attractive than other people, if this is fair, why this might or might not be true, and experiences that you have heard about or seen.

Please visit this website http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/do-attractive-people-have-advantages-others-dont/ and read the article. It might help to have a look at some of the comments below the article too.

A new study has concluded that wearing makeup makes women more likable. Does this match your own observations? Why might cosmetics affect how a person is perceived?

Give us your take on the power of makeup and the societal “rewards” of beauty. Have you seen attractive people gain certain advantages? If so, why do you think it happens? What about the theory that it’s the confidence of the attractive people, not their looks alone, that draws people to them? What do you think the makeup study’s findings say about our culture? Does anything need to change? Why or why not?

Remember, for those who do not have a gmail account, please make one so that I can invite you to join this blog!
