External Appearance of a Person From a Sociological Viewpoint

Sinan Çaya

Abstract


In society, an individual’s outer appearance is involved with many attitudes and meanings targeting that very same person. Beauty seems to be a prerogative since ancient times, while ugliness a mere disadvantage. Despite relativity in evaluations due to time and geography, certain firm convergences of opinion regarding good looks, also seem to be available. The Handling of the topic in this respect is a fairly new understanding in Sociology.
