Reflexiones sobre la cultura y los estándares de belleza | Mike Israetel | TEDxPenn

Mike Israetel, cofundador de Renaissance Periodization, analiza cómo la cultura, la biología y la autopercepción influyen en la manera en que las personas ven su propia apariencia. Señala que el aspecto influye en ámbitos como las citas, la contratación y la autoestima, pese a los mensajes habituales que dicen lo contrario. La charla defiende estándares culturales de belleza más amplios, más amabilidad hacia uno mismo y hacia los demás, y apoyo a quienes deciden cambiar su apariencia.

• Tres fuerzas que moldean la autoimagen: cultura, biología y autopercepción
• Por qué ampliar los estándares culturales de belleza
• Llamado a la amabilidad hacia uno mismo y al apoyo a quienes cambian su apariencia

NOTE FROM TED: We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers.

TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf We're taught from childhood that looks don't matter, but in the real world, they shape everything from dating to hiring to how we feel about ourselves. Mike Israetel, co-founder of RP, breaks down the three forces behind how we see our own appearance: culture, biology, and self-perception. He argues that helping everyone feel at home in their own skin means widening our cultural standards, being kinder to ourselves and each other, and supporting people who choose to change how they look.
