Lookism refers to discrimination against or prejudice towards others based on their appearance. The preconceived notions of beauty and cultural stereotyping based on appearance as well as gender roles and expectations…as well as increased or decreased productivity from workers considered beautiful or ugly by their co-workers. "We face a world where lookism is one of the most pervasive but denied prejudices." "The evidence clearly indicates that not only is there a premium for prettiness in Western culture, there is also penalty for plainness."
