Ik geloof trouwens geen hol van wat Pan Am zegt dat je gepromoveerd wordt als je knap ben. (het zou overigens wel verklaren waarom ik van de week ontslagen ben ) |

Verder heb ik niet zo de behoefte om mezelf hier een beetje tentoon te stellen, de mensen die ik op msn heb van het forum hebben al lang een foto van mij gehad dus.. Citaat:
Dus ik snap je aanval op mij nu niet zo goed, ik kan me wel verplaatsen in je uitgangspunten trouwens, hoewel ik het daar niet mee eens ben.. maar dat heeft pan am voor het grootste deel al uitgelegd voor mij DUUUUS mensen ga me nu alsjeblieft met de hele gang mij niet zo aanvallen en lees het topic nog eens door dan zie je dat ik niet heb gezegd eens of oneens, maar dat ik het wel ietwat dom/onverstandig vind van de mensen die dit nog niet beseffen en stug blijven volhouden dat ik ongelijk heb..

And shall not loveliness be loved forever? Yes, if you can afford it OF COURSE, it is ridiculous. What sane person would put metal rings round her neck to stretch it like a giraffe's, or lace her corset so tight that she fainted, or allow her feet to be bound to make them tiny? How backward, how primitive. Completely different, obviously, from the woman who pays huge sums to have her breasts surgically enlarged; or the man who takes drugs to give him an athlete's torso; or the rich, modern men and women who spend $160 billion a year on beauty products whose impact on the appearance is sometimes, um, unproven. From stilettos to diets to cosmetic surgery, women (and, increasingly, men) go to great lengths and huge cost to make themselves better looking. And now, advances in technology allow people to change their appearance not just for an evening out but for ever. After you with the tea-tree oil Does it matter if human beings change their bodies in more fundamental ways than our grandparents ever dreamt of? The reasons for change go well beyond the pursuit of beauty, of course. Not only do athletes reshape themselves to do better at sport: Tiger Woods recently had an operation on his eyes to allow him to judge distances better. The sexually discontented can now alter their gender in ways that go well beyond the acquisition of a nice frock and a bit of padding. But it is beauty that dominates the remodelling business and that raises the toughest questions. The search for beauty has always seemed frivolous to some, and not just to those of the male persuasion. Puritans, who once squawked about the evils of lipstick and facepaint, now have fresh moral dilemmas to wrestle with. If the beauty business deceives people into spending money uselessly or harmfully, should it be stopped from doing so? Some fret that the preoccupation with appearance is leading to a shallower society, and to a host of social horrors from family breakdown to eating disorders. Others fear that beauty firms are trying to blur the line between drugs and cosmetics, or complain that tampering with the incline of one's nose is the first step on a slippery slope to tampering with one's genes. And of course, there are always the poor: should they be exposed to marketing baloney that may persuade them to spend money on empty promises to stop time's hand? Only in the case of the young are there grounds for special intervention--although parental responsibility ought really to do the job. Until their bodies stop growing, teenagers should not to be allowed to change them in permanent ways that may turn out to be harmful. By all means straighten their teeth and even their noses, but leave puppy fat alone. Let them pierce their ears or indeed their tongues, if they must, but ban the tattoos and hold that graduation present of breast enlargement. But what of adults, who behave little more rationally than teenagers in this regard? Perhaps governments should get the makers of those creams made of dolphin serum and goose fat to list the ingredients on the pot, as if they were breakfast cereals. Big beauty companies, experts at deception, have the money and power to play on people's hopes and fears. However, choice and scale are powerful bulwarks against deception. The creation of giant beauty companies means not only lower prices and cleverer innovations, but global brands whose reputations need protection. As for the poor, sales of beauty products tend to take off when incomes rise. Lipstick may be an indicator of economic progress. And the freedom to believe nonsense about getting rid of wrinkles is one of the most basic human liberties. The more difficult questions will arise when it becomes clear that some of the promises actually come true. Good-looking people have great advantages over the ugly. For example, they earn more: when Barry Harper of London Guildhall University looked at 11,000 British 33-year-olds, he found that the pay penalty for unattractiveness was around 15% for men and 11% for women. Overweight women earned 5% less than average, especially in clerical and secretarial jobs. Good looks in both sexes mattered especially, he found, in sales jobs, where the seller meets the buyer. Another study, of 289 Dutch advertising firms, found an association between good-looking executives, higher revenues and business success. Not only do looks help in the job market. In both sexes, they help in the marriage market. Studies show that handsome folk are more confident. It is a cruel fact that good looks can make you a better parent: babies are attracted to prettier people. Good looks remove some of life's irritations: another study found that people rated as more attractive feel more entitled to better treatment and are less willing to be kept waiting; another, that good-looking women with a flat tyre get rescued first. And a nice face helps to get people out of trouble: a recent University of Oslo study found that university students awarded criminals sentences which were 20% lighter if they were told that the villains were "handsome" or "pretty". If a bit of lipstick can keep you out of jail, or waxing your mustache can land an extra 15% in earnings, then who would not pay for successful beauty treatments? If genetic engineering ever catches on, it will be hard to draw a firm line between correcting defects and enhancing characteristics. It would be irrational for parents who love their children not to want them to be more beautiful as well as healthier and more intelligent. The ugly underclass But if society believes that government should aim to give citizens equal opportunities, might beauty be a right that society can be legitimately asked to pay for? The poor once looked very different from the rich: they were worse fed, worse clothed, worse washed and had less access to medical and dental care. Those days are gone, at least in the developed world. But bat ears or a cleft lip can still make a teenager's life a misery. The World Health Organisation has broadened its definition of health to include psychological well-being. Stand by for the moment when public policy has cut out the most striking sources of inequality, and conventions of cosmetic surgeons announce that their craft can excise the remainder. |
