WHAT IS LOOKISM?
Lookism is discrimination based on a person's physical appearence. Lookism is one of the the newer isms and is recenty starting to effect many people. We as a global community need to put an end to this unjustice. Lookism is not fair and it wrecks the lives of many, every single day. The first step we can take is by stopping it ourselves. We all judge people by the way they look, and we need to make a concious effort to stop it. Furthermore, try spreading awarness aboout it. Talk to your friends and maybe even try bringing a speaker in your school or workplace to talk more about it. Don't forget!Lookism is a type of bullying and most of the time someone is teased about their weight, height or complection which all comes under physical appearrence. Surprisingly, a survey found that people think that its fine to tease people about their ginger hair, regional accents, being blonde, being bald, being overweight, thin, short, tall, smelly and even for having bad teeth. But, it's not ok. It's never ok to tease people about those things. In addition, did you know that anyone at any age can be a victim of Lookism? It does'nt matter if your in school, at work or even at home. LET'S STOP LOOKISM!
