Abstract
About this title: It should come as no surprise that good-looking people may have it easier than others. Just how far good looks can take a person is the subject of The Ugly Truth.
Viewers of The Ugly Truth will learn about a painful, subtle form of discrimination with high social costs. Our society recognizes sexism and racism as forms of discrimination. But there is also widespread discrimination against people with average looks in favor of "good looking" people. In this hard-hitting ABC News 20/20 segment, veteran correspondent John Stossel uses actors and hidden cameras to expose "lookism" in typical real-life situations: on the street, on the job, in school, and in the courtroom. Why do we unconsciously reward good looking people and automatically assume they are smarter, more honest and even kinder than average looking people? Discover "The Ugly Truth" for yourself.
If you're a woman in distress... If you want to land a decent job... If you hope for better pay... If you want your students to like you... If you want to stay out of jail... It helps to be good looking.
About the series: The ABCs of Discrimination is a series of hard-hitting ABC News exposés that explore all types of discrimination – on the street, at home, in the workplace, on the phone, in the courtroom – and are excellent discussion starters.
