Abstract
This paper examines the role of physical appearance in job placement. Attractive physical appearance is seen as linked to productivity in some industries with high customer contact. But generally, most employers use it subjectively for candidate selection without linking it to skill sets. Candidates also share this subjective expectation of employers especially when job competition is unpredictable.

From the Paper
"Individuals with spinal cord injuries face lifelong challenges with regard to lifestyle and employment. Studies suggest that several factors may impact an individual's probability of acquiring meaningful employment after their injury. Job placement analysis and strategy is complex in a traditional setting. When addressing a population as unique and diversified as that of the disabled, the challenge becomes even more complex and complicated, presenting a unique area of study for rehabilitation specialists."

Abstract
This paper discusses the powerful and persuasive nature of advertising and how it is utilized as a tool to impact and objectify messages and media influences throughout various cultures. The paper particularly focuses on the effect that advertisements have on appearance anxiety, especially within the adolescent female population and discusses the reasons for its impact.
From the Paper
"Gender is predominantly linked to the female population when it comes to body dissatisfaction, particularly adolescent females because so much of their identity is tied to their physical attributes, or lack thereof (Green, 2003). Research reveals that women far outweigh men in terms of lower body dissatisfaction and media pressures confirm their anxieties (Dittmar, et al, 2004). Studies reveal that women have a higher dissatisfaction in specific areas such as hips, thigh, body fatness and weight (Russell & Cox, 2003). Women's tendencies are to continually compare their own body images to other women as a means of self assessment, typically ending in body dissatisfaction (Tiggemann, et al, 2004). The physical changes are evident in both girls and boys reaching puberty with opposite results inferred for girls who increase their body fat and boys who decrease their body fat and increase muscle tone (Davison & McCabe, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper first describes Thomas Hart Benton?s "June Morning" by explaining that the curvilinear forms and the realistic details accentuate this typical rural scene. The paper then critiques American Impressionist, Frederick Carl Frieske?s "Before Her Appearance", which is a delicate portrait of a young ballerina applying the final touches to her make-up before going on stage. The paper points out that the painter is trying to evoke a feeling of naivet? with this young woman by using mottled details, which bring softness to the scene.
From the Paper
"The flowering bushes appear to be doing well in the arid conditions as evidenced by the grass. Pink clusters of flowers adorn the bushes at the left foreground. White flowers, tinged with yellow, grow from a bush, out of the top of the hill in the right foreground. Aged and weathered wooden slats lie askew at the bottom of the bush, accented by rounded boulders. The three slats are broken and laying at odd angles, as if possibly a wheelbarrow or cart broke along the roadside at this spot, and the owner just left it for time to dispose of."

Abstract
An analysis of the importance of appearance during the J.F.K./Nixon debates, with a focus on the "Great Debate" of 1960 between them. Argues that the importance of appearance on television forever changed with that debate, and now there are "constructed images" in people's minds.
From the Paper
"The first televised presidential debate occurred on September 26, 1960, between Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon. This debate was the first of a series of four ?great debates? between Kennedy and Nixon; it brought about interesting results that varied drastically between those who viewed it on television and those who heard it on the radio. In fact, the election of 1960 was so close that many commentators, including Robert Kennedy, stated that the television debates were responsible for Kennedy?s victory (Wheeler 14). A Philadelphia commercial research firm found that television viewers thought Kennedy had won the debate, while radio listeners assessed Nixon as the winner (Journal). Analysts explain this to be the result of Kennedy?s charismatic presence on television that overwhelmed Nixon?s sickly, nervous look. Many view the Kennedy-Nixon debate as a paradigmatic example of television images triumphing over political substance (Power). Undoubtedly, the 1960 presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon was not only a turning point for television, but it deeply affected the future of American politics and the importance of appearance."

Abstract
The following paper suggests that we look for the purest form of reality that is causing the appearance of the world around us.
From the paper:
?After all, how can anyone study real wisdom (or real science, for that matter), if they cannot first be sure of the reality of the things they see and experience? Without addressing reality itself, it may be difficult for any thinking philosopher to be able to address issues of morality, civic duty, the nature of God and man, ideal governments and more ideal revolutions, or any other such thing. Without knowing what they believe about the existence of reality, there is no way to ground any other idea.?

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of the theme of hypocrisy in Moliere's play, "Tartuffe". It looks at the conflict between appearance and reality in society, revealed through relationships between the characters.
From the Paper
"Moliere wrote Tartuffe during the reign of Louis XIV who subsequently banned it from production and read it aloud in his court among respected dignitaries at the same time. Moliere must have had the last laugh at this ironic turn of events as the actions of Louis XIV on this occasion seem to establish the very theme of the play. That is the notion of hypocrisy and by rights the conflict between appearance and reality in society... "

Women?s Appearance, 2006.
Examines women's obsession for dieting, looks and cosmetics.

Abstract
In Western culture, there is often more emphasis placed on a woman's appearance than on a man's. This phenomenon is visible on all levels of society - from private concerns to public behavior. The paper argues that it would seem that in recent decades women have begun to reject this cultural value, claiming that it dehumanizes and objectifies women, making them aesthetic objects rather than living, complex beings. The paper argues, however, that the growth of the cosmetics, dieting and plastic surgery industries might prove that now, more than ever, women - more than men - are concerned with looking good.
From the Paper
"Five times more women than men are dieting in America today. Dieting has become such a fad that perceptions of obesity have come to affect more than just the obese. A Chapel Hill study found that differences in body fat among teenage girls had strong implications for dating, with fatter girls getting fewer dates and showing lower levels of self-esteem than thinner girls. Interestingly, girls with below average body fat were at a significant advantage - they were twice as likely to find a date than their more rounded counterparts."

From the Paper
"Appearance is a powerful correlate affecting how a person is perceived by others, and there is significant data to suggest that persons who are viewed as having a more attractive physical appearance are perceived in a more positive manner than persons who are less attractive (Kniffen & Wilson, 2004). Assessment of appearance, however, is highly subjective and is believed to be influenced by a wide number of variables in the eyes of the perceiver; variables include a person's influences (Silver & Parente, 2004), environmental development (Kniffen & Wilson, 2004), race and ethnicity (Wade et al, 2004), and desired outcomes such as perceived credibility (Masip et al, 2004)."
