▶ Your Answer :
Opinions might be divided over whether the importance of appearance for people in our society these days. People of various ages and from different walks of life may take diverse positions on the controversial issue. I side with the prospect that people nowadays more likely to think that nothing could be important than the outward appearance for the following two reasons
To begin with, predisposition that be favor of appearance leads to spend too much money and it will cause deficiency of the budget. When it comes to seeking money, every penny counts these days. A thrift spending habit is indispensable in our life because little drops of water make the mighty ocean. If we don't get used to working on the tight budget, we will short on cash later. Opponents of my perspective claim that skills or healthy are important than looks. However, if we take a close look at their contentions, the rationale for their assertion lacks logic in many ways. Moreover, my personal example can definitely debunk their claims. For example, I have a friend named Tom. To be a great appearance, he was willing to undergo many plastic surgeries. He spent so much money on the operation of surgery that he ended up being mendicancy. The same applies to most people.
Besides, people usually think that the more one has a fancy mask, the easier they can be gain good appearance and make a friend easily. So for these reasons, they prefer to the people who has pretty appearance. In addition to my personal experience, many articles from different newspapers reaffirm my viewpoints. A few weeks ago, I read an op-ed piece from the Korea Herald that is related to the topic. It described the result of a survey, which was conducted by Seoul National University social science researchers with more than 500 people as respondents who make a habit of spending money on decorating their looks. The purpose of the survey was to understand the consensus view about the effect of appearance when they do any sort of social activities. Of the 500 people surveyed, over 80 percent answered that they has a lot of friend. Pretty appearance and luxury items could be of advantage of making friends and hang out with them. This clearly proves that the looks is conducive to making many friends.
As I mentioned above, based on the two examples, I can conclude that the tendency of being fixated on the appearance could be acceptable for people.
