Character

 Is it true? Do you have to be drop dead gorgeous (or extremely hansom) just to appear on television? Some would argue that the answer is yes. I however, disagree. The media has twisted and turned our minds so much that we don't even vote for people unless they are physically attractive. If we watch debates on television half (or more) of our comments about it relate to how they look. When this issue is turned around and sees someone who has a mental disability or is handicapped in some way, a lot of times we don't even give them a chance to speak, we judge them right away and don't allow them to be a consideration. But, what if they actually had a good idea? In my opinion, we need to ear everyone out. We need to give each other a chance and if we don't, we could be missing out on an idea that could give the world peace. Everyone is different and if someone who stutters, has a cataract eye, or a cleft lip isn't going to be accepted into our society we are the only ones to blame. We set "standards" in order to be cool in our generation and in order to even be on the board we need to act a certain way, look perfect, and have no flaws. Is it just me or does this seem impossible? I can't stand it when the shy girl isn't even looked at in school because she doesn't wear name brand clothing. In our society our appearance tells everything you need to know about that person, we don't have to get to know them to know their true personality. Our character is determined by who we hang out with, where we live, what we wear, and how we look. I think we are messed up. Every person has their own personality and character, if we judge them by appearance we are only cheating ourselves out of what could be our best friend or next national leader.
