Cruelty civility and other weighty matters

Studies have shown that if both a fat person and a thin person apply for a job, the skinny person is more likely to get that job. The over weight person could be more qualified for the job than the skinny person but, often at times they will not get the job because the skinny person is more attractive than they are.This shows that our culture values appears over quality and that view on life is " out of whack". It is both cruel and unfair for someone to be tuned down for a job, just because they are out of shape and or because they are not as attractive as the competing applicants. This hurts people and discourages them. When you are the "boss" of a company you should not be hiring people based off of what they look like ( unless it is in the fashion industry of course) people should be hired off of their work skills and how or what they can or will contribute to your company.
