Society often judges each other based on their physical appearance. Beauty and physical appearance play a major role in society today, whether we realize it or not. For hundreds of years, women have been treated with disrespect by society. Throughout history, women have been told that they have to look a certain way. In the 1900s, women were told that they had to be tall and curvy to be sexy, and today, women are told that they have to be thin, but have curves to be sexy. If someone doesn't look the right way, they are ridiculed and ridiculed, and not being thin enough can lead to serious self-esteem issues. Being ashamed of how they look and how they feel can then lead to even more serious problems, like eating disorders. In the novels The Samurai Garden by Gail Tsukiyama, The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld and the play A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen, we can agree that society treats people differently based on their beauty, and that a person's physical appearance can lead them to feel ashamed, used. , or disrespected.Tally Youngblood is a teenage girl, about to turn 16 in the book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. As she has not yet celebrated her sixteenth birthday, she is still considered ugly, as she has not yet undergone cosmetic surgery to make her pretty. This operation is designed by the city authorities, created to prevent conflicts linked to racism or the fact that certain people are unfairly prettier than others. However, the operation causes ugly people to be ashamed of their natural appearance or to disrespect others. After Tally's surgery is delayed, she feels more ashamed and ugly than ever, which translates to: "Tally looked in her mirror all day, noting every flaw, every deformity. Her thin lips pursed in unhappiness, her middle of paper......are a good thing for those who are more attractive. However, for most people this is not true. Attractive people will be used by those around them and may feel offended that others don't care about what's inside. Prettier people also face stereotypes, such as that they are not as intelligent as less attractive people. When making first impressions, others might think that because of their appearance they must be less intelligent. In Michael Torrice's article and the novels and plays above, it proves that society is aware of beauty standards and special treatments, but nothing changes. One may be stunning but have a horrible personality, and someone else may be less attractive and have a stunning personality. People still feel shamed, disrespected and used because of their physical appearance and how others perceive them..
