内容説明
Lookism is a broad term used to describe physical appearance discrimination. It is synonymous with beautyism and encompasses colorism, weightism, heightism, ageism, and ableism, each granting power and privilege to those who are considered physically appealing and assumed to be more intelligent, capable, and socially acceptable. These forms of inequitable treatment not only negatively impact one's self-image but one's career aspirations, job opportunities, and work environment. Furthermore, lookism is not unique to the United States. It is a common diversity and inclusion issue that is perpetuated, practiced and accepted in social institutions around the world. The Politics of Lookism in Global Workplaces: Physical and Personal Appearance discrimination in the 21st Century informs readers of the various types of lookism, how and why they persist, and the negative organizational and personal effects that result. This is accomplished by discussing how cultures attach value to beauty, skin tone, weight, height, age, and physical ability. Lookism will be explored as a phenomenon that grants unearned privilege to physically-desirable people in global workplaces.
