Negative Impacts of Pretty Privilege

Attractive Privilege is garnering more and more attention due to its associations with

several detrimental effects, including prejudice, inequality, and even violence. To demonstrate

how Pretty Privilege contributes to many injustices, this will examine the various detrimental

repercussions of the phenomenon in my study project. An attractive Privilege is an oppressive

form that may cause injustice, prejudice, and even violence in society.

I know certain things on the concept of “pretty privilege,” which is sometimes called

“attractiveness privilege,”. I am aware that the phrase “pretty privilege” refers to the economic

and social benefits that people who are deemed beautiful in society enjoy. Additionally, I am

aware that privilege is present in a variety of spheres of life, including relationships, job, and

education. According to studies, persons who are viewed as beautiful are more likely to succeed

in relationships, land higher-paying professions, and achieve better academic results. A time in

life when I experienced pretty privilege was when I was a student in secondary school. Both

teachers and students used to acknowledge certain students who were deemed “attractive”, at the

expense of students who were good academic performers. The scenario I experienced during my

secondary school education times, rose concerns in me to study on the pretty privilege concept.
