socitey shapes our expectation and thinking

The socitey shapes our expectation and thinking of anything all the time. According to frist article, John Stossel and Frank Mastropolo stated that the good looking people have more power and privilege because of the society infulance. Beautiful isn’t everything but beauty helps to reap no little benefit. The socitey teach us that good look are often a sign of health, smart, fertility, kindness, funny, friendly, and popular,which called “halo effect”. At the same tims, authors use some living example and test to prove the society cause to the privilege of being beautiful. In second article, Kate Klonick use halloween to claim that the society shapes our life and values. There have huge rules and taboos in our society that regulate and dominate our daily life. Only during halloween, we can escap out these rigorous restrication and enjoy getting to try on what you are not. For example, grils dress down and men dress up as women in the halloween. As a result, I agree that the society always influence our expectation and behavior based on my experience, sepcially about people’s performance and attitudes of respect to gander and appearance.
According my personal experience, I think that good appreance is evey helpful in anywhere driven by society effect. For example, at my university school life, some profeesors perfer discuess with good looking student because they look like progress, smart, and studing hard. Althought their performance worse than others students, they still got the high score. However it’s unfair, especially if you are not one of the beautiful people. Beside that in chinese culture and society, we was taught that man must be man and respect to gender. We can not cross dressing and trt on you are not. However, I changed my mind after I came to Amercian and join the American style halloween party. At the same time I relized that the different societis will shape different people expectation and behavior.
In conculsion, the socitey always shapes our expectation and thinking. In deed different societies will shapes various thinking and culture. However, everyone need some activites to break and relax form normal routine and return to usual role after that.
