Society's Prejudice

    Too often a minority in society tend to lead the way and thus set precedents that have little to no reason for existing other than for those people with a prejudice to deem them as ineligible for a career based upon their appearances. Why is that so? If appearance is not relevant to the particular job; then that is absurd and crazy. If the limits were established that made more sense and had a reason to exist that would be acceptable. But it seems that Susan Boyle has an excellent grasp of the reality of our society of today and that is:

Modern society is too quick to judge people on their appearances. There is not much you can do about it; it is the way they think; it is the way they are. But maybe this could teach them a lesson, or set an example.

 Why do we judge people solely based upon their appearance without even asking them questions about their lifestyle? For example, society today, holds those; who have tattoos and long hair as being lower class. But there are men that I personally know that have either tattoos or long hair that are reasonable men of their time. So the moral is that sometimes, the hard-working person with tattoos and or long hair might well be the better candidate for a job than the lazy guy with short hair. So long as women are permitted to have long-hair, the businesses that exclude men based upon long-hair and tattoos are going to have to wake-up to the reality of the changing times. There are many men, a good portion of them are indeed younger that have religious beliefs that prevent them from cutting their hair either for the entirety of their life or for a specified-length of time. Then are those, who may have gotten tattoos but now wish they hadn't; so tattoos don't always reveal everything about the person granted there are concerns of people that may have some ill-wanted associations but that shouldn't be a deciding factor in hiring employees. So ladies and gentlemen, it is time that we stop judging by appearance alone and remember that suitable employees of various looks and personality exist and bring valuable skills to the workforce. So long as the tattoos or long-hair does not get in the way of the work being performed; then the businesses of today have no ground to stand upon and thus are setting themselves up for failure long-term because of refusal to hire the best possible candidate regardless of appearance. But there are some admirable guidelines to which anyone would agree that would best in most cases dependent upon what type of business that you are looking to hire on with. For example, it seems that being reasonably dressed in decent clothes such as; suit and tie, dress clothes, or casual attire might be acceptable to the business. But unless you are involved in a career with much interaction with the public then long hair and tattoos should have not be relied upon as good indicator in which to judge a person's ability to work. However, in a career such as retail, long-hair can get in the way. But then again just choose an appropriate hair-style that keeps you hair out of the way be it short-or-long.
