Do we focus on physical beauty too much?

I definitely think our culture focuses on being beautiful too much. In class we discussed that your appearence can effect whether someone gets a job or not over someone else. Yes, you need to be presentable, but you don't need to be the perfect descripiton of beauty. Someone could be not as goof looking as someone else, but does work so much better and they wouldn't get the opportunity to show that. I think our society makes a very unhealty picture for beauty. On televison shows and in magazines you rarely see a plus sized girls, or a girls with braces and glasses because that isn't considered beautiful in our society so they don't want to advertise it. Being considered beautiful in our culture today is very had for anyone.
