WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY: #prettyprivilege #haloeffect #meritocracy
Is beauty truly a meritocracy or simply an invisible form of social capital? We analyze Pretty Privilege and how aesthetic standards affect our job opportunities, social media success, and social acceptance.
In this video essay, we explore the psychology of the 'halo effect' and the beauty economy. Why has the internet monetized our appearance? We uncover the uncomfortable truth about a privilege we all notice but few dare to talk about.
