腦袋好?美貌好?

Is brain better than beauty?

Brain is better than beauty.

                                                             

Brain is better than beauty. Most intelligent people are attractive in some way or another. Being smart can get you far in life and in relationships. I would prefer to date someone that is intelligent and able to maintain a conversation. Beauty is not only skin deep but if they are intelligent they will go far.

Brain is better than beauty.

Beauty is fleeting. It is a temporary condition. Studies have also determined that a person's self-confidence also enhances beauty. Brains also help people get better jobs, solve problems, and outsmart rivals. In this regard, having brains is much better than having beauty because brains do not fade whereas beauty does.

Brain is definitely better than physical good looks

As the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Not so for intelligence. Intelligence can be used to gain a career and gain recognition in work. Intelligence is the key that opens the door to education, financial security and a healthy life. Beauty is a quick fix for a few years but beauty is fleeting, not always seen as beauty by the majority of people, different for different cultures and does not last a lifetime.

No need for brains when you have beauty

Why be smart when beauty can get you a smart and rich husband? Honestly as much as women try, men are almost always going to pick beauty and so if you want a successful and great husband, you have to take care of yourself. Besides, you can be smart and beautiful if you want, just go ahead! Personally, I'd rather go shopping with my husband's large paycheck.

職場歧視

Types of Discrimination in the Workplace      (everydaylife) by Bronwyn Timmons

Discrimination Based on Sex

As with racial and ethnic discrimination, sex-based discrimination takes on many forms at work. Sexual harassment is one of the most obvious forms, and may include unwanted sexual advances, propositions or crude remarks toward an employee. Sex-based discrimination may also involve preferential or negative treatment, being passed over for a promotion, or being paid at a different rate because of gender. Companies can not discriminate against applicants based on their sex; nor can a company enact policies that apply to everyone if the policy has a negative impact on employees of a certain sex. 

Discrimination Based on Religion

Discrimination based on religion involves treating a person unfairly because of his religious affiliation, and is prohibited by law. As with other forms of discrimination, religious discrimination includes harassment and preferential or negative treatment. By law, employers must make reasonable accommodations for religious employees, regardless of their religion. 

Discrimination Based on Disability

The Americans with Disabilities Act prevents employers from discriminating against people with disabilities, so long as they are qualified to perform their job. This does not mean an employer is required to hire everyone with a disability, but so long as there is no undue hardship, employers must make reasonable accomodations for employees with disabilities. For example, an employee confined to a wheelchair may be given a desk that fits with it. Harassment toward employees with disabilities is prohibited by law, as is preferential or negative treatment because of their condition. When interviewing, the law prohibits employers from asking applicants about their disabilities.

Discrimination Based on Age

The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act prevents companies from discriminating against applicants and employees over the age of 40, meaning these employees may not be treated unfavorably. Favorable treatment of employees over 40, however, is allowed. There are no federal laws in place to protect workers under 40 from age-based discrimination, though some states have their own laws that do. Companies may favor older workers over younger workers.
