In this article Judging the Outside, Karissa Febert argues that prejudice against ones appearance effects people and there feelings. She claims that middle and high school years for a student are the years where you will be judged mostly by your looks. Febert develops this claim by first personally sharing how it was even harder to see its effects on one of her closest friends. Febert descriptively explains how judgment affected her friend tremendously, along with the many other people being judged. Lastly, the author states that life is about getting to know people by who they are in the inside. Life is not about judging people you do not know just for the label of being “popular.” Karissa Febert’s purpose is to share her personal story about her friend in order to let other people who are also being judged that they are not alone. This work is significant because it helps give a better idea from a teenager’s point of view. I can relate to what they think about judgmental people.

  ~ Article 1 summary~     'The Relative Contributions of Waist-to-Hip ratio and Body Mass Index to Judgments of Attractiveness'

    In the article, 'the relative contributions of waist-to-hip ratio and body mass index to judgments of attractiveness', Wilson et al argues that the relative contributions of waist- to- hip ratio and body mass index effects judgments of attractiveness. They claim that this research has suggested that BMI (body mass index) plays a greater role in perceptions of female attractiveness rather than WHR. Wilson et al develops this claim by first researching what the results of female attractiveness are and how it is judged by others. Wilson et al strongly states that people care about their appearance so much because of their low self esteem. Lastly, the author explains that people (mostly women) are judged by how large or small their body is. Wilson et al’s purpose is to provide information about appearances in order to get the readers attention on why and how people are judged. This work is significant to my topic because women care about their bodies and how they look. We always question how we look from others points of views. This source gives readers a better understanding of the contributions to waist-to-hip ratio.
