I have always been very obsessed with body image. When I was young, baseball was my sport. Soon after, I joined the swim team. During these years I’ve never looked the way that pleased me. When the age of fourteen came around, I decided to join the gym with a personal trainer. At this time, being overweight and unhappy. Never did I think the gym would mean so much to me in the future. Just before the age of sixteen, bodybuilding made a drastic impression on me. The art of building a well symmetrical body. Everything about this sport fascinated me because it gave a chance to create a new me.

One of the truths is that men want to look like they are 25. The article illustrates that this notion is derived from how, “Our heroes are baby-faced with six-pack abs. Today’s ideal is younger, bigger, and more muscular.” […] “That might explain why from 1997 to 2001, the number of men who had cosmetic surgery increased 256 percent.” These facts and statistics prove that men are genuinely impacted by the standards media has created for them as they begin to modify their bodies.

There is a phrase,” Don’t judge a book by its cover”, that has been taught over and over. It conveys that individuals should not pass judgment on others based on their looks but rather to look past their external appearance. The sad truth is that everyone does judge books by their covers; it is the first thing a person does. To put it another way, appearances influence how one is perceived and there are countless ways to prove this. One example would be in the book Lord of The Flies by William Golding. The author uses Piggy’s character and symbolism to demonstrate how his appearance impacts how his intelligence is perceived.

Firstly, as human being we are more attractive based on how a person looks. Anchorman and women are being judge daily based on how they look and how will they perform

Your discussion resonated with me. When I was in high school, magazines like Sports Illustrated and Muscle Fitness was all the rage. Almost every boy in school enjoyed and idolized the people in those magazines because of the machismo projected in the articles. I was no exception; much like you I have always been active and frequent the gym on a regular. However after high school I joined the navy and now had a source of income. With this perception of how the male body should look, I turned to supplement to aid in the process. At one point I even turned to illegal means but backed out due to the navy’s drug testing policy. Even though at the time I far exceed any of the navy’s physical fitness standards. I still saw myself, as being below

Physical attraction is a different perspective about on someone, they could look like the best person you’ve ever seen, and then once you get to know them by talking to them, they turn out to be your worst enemy. The article Isn’t She Beautiful? The Role of Physical Attraction in Dating, clearly states, “The once stunning girl may lose most of her charm, and the easily overlooked girl may become undeniably beautiful.” In other words, after talking to someone for the first couple times, you are just getting to know them and if you really think you like them just by looking at them, your opinion on them could change

The Vicario brothers are portrayed as the products of gender stereotypes and concepts of ‘alpha male’, and it is evident that they have been forced by society to kill a man, but this by itself does not represent a strong critique against machismo as the only consequences seen are a restricted individuality and freedom, and an act that was probably not seen as immoral by the readers at that time. In order to make a strong, effective critique against machismo, Garcia Marquez describes the murder as a traumatizing experience and explains its numerous negative impacts. The murder itself is described using harrowing imagery such as a ‘spurt of blood under high pressure [soaking] his shirt’ (p. 120), Santiago’s ‘intestines [exploding] out’ (p. 121) and the ‘viscera in the sunlight, clean and blue’ (p. 121). This use of disturbing images involves the readers in the grisly, traumatizing experience. The diction describing the brothers, with words such as ‘pale’ (p. 109, p. 110) ‘haggard’ (p. 109), ‘scared’ (p. 119), ‘desperate’ (p. 119) and ‘twisted with horror’ (p. 119), shows that the brothers are negatively affected by the assassination. The reader empathises with the trauma-like feelings of the brothers and pities them, and receives the message that machismo does not have benefits as everyone becomes its victim.

The Halo Effect is the cognitive bias that generalizes that if an individual has one outstanding favorable character trait, the rest of that individual’s trait will be favorable. Specific to physical attractiveness, this is known as the “Attractiveness Halo.” Attractiveness plays an important role in determining social interactions. In fact, the physical attractiveness of an individual is a vital social cue utilized by others to evaluate other aspects of that individual’s abilities (Kenealy, Frude, & Shaw, 2001).
