The fact is if we don't start here when do we start? It's called pushing the boundaries and challenging people to alter their viewpoint.That's never going to happen unless you just take a leap of faith and try it. |
I'm afraid some people in this world will not be budged on their viewpoint, no matter what is presented to them. this may end up being a complete waste of time if those people only see their way as being correct.
aesthetics plays a big part in acceptance by individuals, and society as a whole. a pretty face is much more appeasing and can be related to more readily than a disfigured one, purely because of day to day exposure by average Joe, who is more likely to see pretty than heavily scarred.
personally, I think it is a good move by channel 5, but I fear it will progress no further than this apparent week-long PR stunt as there are too many people who are so tunnel-visioned and wallow in their own belief system that they will outrightly refuse to accept anything different that does not concur with their own utopia. which is a shame. they may learn something about others and themselves if they dared to welcome new and different things.
