<Lookism>

BY.SOJEONG


             One woman who got plastic surgery over 20 times is called “fan woman”. This is a result of lookism. Lookism is discrimination or prejudice based on a person’s physical appearance. When she was around 20 years old, she was very pretty, but she didn’t love herself, so she started plastic surgery and she became addicted. Our society has a serious   problem. Lookism is dangerous and can cause people to commits suicide.

             One of the most basic disadvantages of lookism is a healthy. Many people diet for their looks. People who are fat get so many diseases, so if he or she exercise, then they get a healthy body and grow strong in health. But if you do excessive dieting, then you will get serious problem. For example, you can see the models that don’t eat any food for looks. They get many diseases like anorexia, osteoporosis, and even die.

             In addition, another disadvantage of lookism is that people don’t care about personality; they just see appearance and judge based on looks. For example, many teenagers bully student who have ugly face. They don’t have reasons, just it’s because they believe other students have an ugly face. This problem happens many times in Korea. Even some students commit suicide because of their looks. Also in companies, during an interview, interviewers usually say, “We care about the appearance of an applicant”. This is a serious problem that needs to be takes care of.

             Finally, plastic surgery is big problem. According to, The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS), 15 million people across the globe turns to plastic surgery to enhance their looks, and Korea is number one for the number of plastic surgery who get. It is possible to this around friends, they spend so much money on their looks and they get plastic surgery. Many negative side effects can be seen about plastic surgery.

Lookism is terrible thing. We must be aware this situation is a serious problem. Then we have to see mass media critically. Don’t judge a book by its cover!
