Reflexões sobre cultura e padrões de beleza | Mike Israetel | TEDxPenn

Mike Israetel, cofundador da Renaissance Periodization, analisa como cultura, biologia e autopercepção moldam a forma como as pessoas veem a própria aparência. Ele observa que a aparência influencia áreas como namoro, contratação e autoestima, apesar da mensagem comum de que ela não importa. A palestra defende padrões culturais de beleza mais amplos, mais gentileza consigo mesmo e com os outros, e apoio a quem escolhe mudar a própria aparência.

• Três forças que moldam a autoimagem: cultura, biologia e autopercepção
• Por que ampliar os padrões culturais de beleza importa
• Convite à autogentileza e ao apoio a quem muda a aparência

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

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.
