When it comes to the appearance, some people argue that today's people pay
less attention to their fashion and outer beauty than before. However, I
definitely believe that people greatly care for their own appearance and
clothes. This is not only because by putting the importance on their
external presentation, people are able to represent their internal minds,
images and views to the world in the favorable way, but also because these
days, the worldwide trends of outward beauty are negatively resulting
in the side effects of many people.
First of all, most people usually try to express
their own positive images and reveal their personal statement to the
world through manipulating the outward appearance
and style. This is evident when one ponders that whether a person
underneath their clothes is truly neat and positive or passive and lazy, the
appearance of him or her tell the world what images they want to convey and
their personal views to the society. To illustrate this point, one
study of one hundred of company released recently revealed
that the candidates at a job interview attempt to look more professional
and appealing by putting on the well-fitting clothes. Also, experienced
interviewer said that the attractive candidates in a job interview wear
the formal and well-coordinated suits. According to interviewers'
accounts, as candidates wear the clean, neat and organized clothes, they
see the candidates more favorably and feel that he or she delivers
the message that he is a self-manageable and conscious person.
This clearly shows that most people absolutely focus their interests
on personal appearance and style because of their images and external
statements.
Secondly, people increasingly meet the negative events generated as a
result of the excessive investment on their appearance. That is, a lot of
people have spent their substantial amount of money on making their appearance
or clothes look better to others and thus, this often has led to the
destructive consequences for numerous people, from young adults to older
people. For instance, my sister was a good and decent student in high school.
However, when she graduated her high school and was about to enter the college,
she suddenly began to pay her attention to the appearance and fashion.
Unfortunately, she asked parents to give a considerable money to her so that
she can get the plastic surgery for changing her face. Consequently,
after the operation of her face, the irreversible side effect happened
and she suffered from these traces in her face. Then, she had a hard time
for a long time until she gradually recovered through the special
treatment in a remote country. This incident indicates that many people
often lose their precious time and money because of their exorbitant interests
on their outward beauty.
To summarize, because today's
people put their efforts, energy and money into the appearance and
fashion in order to present better their images and minds and often, this trend
of focus on the external presentation has a bad influence on someone's
life, I strongly agree that people greatly tend to emphasize their
external presentation.
