I recently watched a programme called Beauty and the beast: Ugly face of prejudice and this programme really made me feel guilty for ever thinking twice or complaining about my looks. It puts two very different people together and they face the world of prejudices with each other’s and also see how one another, has to face the reaction of the public every day in different ways and dealing with reaction off the public on how they look. The episode I watched was explained as…
Beauty obsessed hairdresser Corinne Harrison meets teacher Simon Moore. Corinne spends up to £3000 a month on beauty treatments, has had two boob jobs and is considering a third, and liposuction.
Simon has Treacher Collins Syndrome, a condition which means his skull and jaw did not form properly in the womb, leaving him profoundly deaf.
Corinne tries to persuade Simon that her beauty regime is normal and natural. He learns why Corinne hates her nose and hair.
Then it’s time for Corinne to see what it’s like to live with a facial disfigurement.
Their meeting concludes with a trip to Jamaica, where Simon hopes Corinne will learn to love her Jamaican heritage and ditch her plans for more surgery.
I have added an episode I watched, in this one a girl and a guy who were paired together compare how they feel about their own personal looks.
