There seems to be a consensus on what a person's physique should look like in today's culture. People are seen and assessed based on these beliefs. When someone deviates from the ideal physical shape, it's frequently seen as a flaw. Having to live with being stared at, shunned, pitied, or ostracized is difficult for many people. A person's physical appearance has a significant impact on their sense of social belonging and self-identity. The audience should reflect on how much we use looks to make snap judgments about others and whether or not this is warranted.
