Cynthia Marvey,
Carol Styles, Julia Peters, Betty Waters are the four members joining the new
idol group…
Claudia read
through the news article titled <New female idol group from DIOS Management
… but where is Claudia Black?>. Her name wasn’t there. She read it again,
but nothing changed. Her eyes started to tremble, and started to look through
all the replies written by the public about this news.
“Why isn’t she
still makin’ a debut? We should blow up the management company”
“I think she’z the
top-class singer of our country”
“Does she have
any troubles w/ her management?”
Yes, it was not only Claudia who was
angered about this, but also the crowd. In fact, it was not the first time;
every time DIOS Management launched a new idol group, Claudia was not included,
although everyone thought Claudia is the one who really should be. As you would
have already noticed, Claudia Black is the idol singer trainee of the DIOS
Management, the biggest singer management company of United States. She is very
hardworking and talented; she is good at singing, rapping, and also dancing.
This is her seventh year as a trainee even though her talent has already
surpassed many other professional singers who have high reputation. You cannot
imagine how much effort she put to make a debut as a singer over the past seven
years – she hasn’t still graduated from her high school even though she is
already 22 years old!
Claudia is still positive. She thinks that
the reason why she fails every year is because she is not talented enough, and
believes that she can make it one day if she tries harder and harder. There are
many fans who are supporting her, and their existence as the advocates of
Claudia is the reason why she never gives up and keeps up her hard work.
However, she has one trouble in her life that stresses her out; the stalker who
knows everything about her. His name is John Ogleberry. He knows literally
everything about Claudia; what time she gets up every morning, how many minutes
it takes for Claudia to take a shower, how many hours Claudia practices each
day, what kind of food she eats every meal, and so on. Claudia tried to sue
John several times, but since she knows that it takes too much time to go through
all the process that she might lose her time to practice, she hasn’t done it
yet. Well, she might hasn’t done it yet because she knows that John is also one
of her fans that supports her.
John was infuriated by this news. He
decided to figure out what is wrong with Claudia and the DIOS. She sneaks into
the company, looks for all the files about the record of Claudia, hacks the
company’s computer, etc.
He could find nothing.
He then went through all the Facebook posts
written by the CEO and the faculties of this company. It was certainly
a tedious job; he had to read all those stupid posts and pictures from ten
years ago.
Finally, he found something. He was shocked. He felt his body
trembling.

In the status quo, people complain about the lookism
that is so common in our society. People tend to judge each other with their
appearance, and good-looking people are more likely to get employed. To solve
the "lookism phenomena," blind auditions, blind interviews, and many
other methods that respect a person's aptitude and talent more than the
appearance in employment process these days. As a result, more people with high
ability and intelligence are now working in many jobs. I, however, think that
the person's appearance should still be the most important factor the judge a
person in employment.
Nowadays, except certain disabled people, we live in a society where we should face each other. It is natural for people to look others' face foremost than other parts. And their appearance decides their "first impression." To modify this impression which is formed in an instant, it needs more than 40 hours. That's why first impression is important and YOUR appearance forms it.

That's why first impression is important and YOUR appearance forms it.
People’s appearance not only affects people’s first
impression but also the quality of life of people around them. I would rather
work with pretty woman with dumb head than the woman with ugly face with
intelligence. I do not want to spend eight hours a day with a face that I don’t
want to look at, at all. It deteriorates my quality of life.
Feel offended? Look at yourself standing in front of a
mirror choosing which perfume to use and which clothes to wear. See, our eyes
are already focusing on your appearance. Let's take it more seriously. In this
industrialized society, tertiary sector outnumbers other jobs. TO be successful
on communicating with one's clients, good first impression contributes a lot.
Let's trace back to past years. The standard of beauty has been altered all the time, but the term ‘beauty’ has existed. Men competed each other for beauty, of beauties got to choose their spouse and spend rest of their life happily. However, for those who weren't, it was a bit harsh. Anyway, there are no absolute value as beauty when judging others.

Do you see how the CEO is stained with the lookism?
Do you now see why the CEO did not allow Claudia to
make a debut over the past seven years?
John decided to reveal this post to the public. The
entire crowd was enraged. The protest in front of DIOS Management building took
place every day, led by John Ogleberry. The CEO was fairly offended by John’s
actions, but could not do anything because it is the nonchanging fact he
uploaded that ridiculous post that can offend numerous people. He could not
bear all the criticism, and left his office. People recommended John as a new
CEO of DIOS Management. Eventually, John took over the company and became a new
president of the company where Claudia is working with. An irritating stalker
who sneaked into an idol trainee’s house becoming a president of that trainee’s
company…! Quite Amazing!
John decided to change people’s mindset about the
appearance inside the company. There were hundreds of talented trainees that
were not allowed to make a debut just because the previous CEO extremely
favored pretty girls. John actively helped them, including Claudia, to make a
successful debut with their brilliant ability. On the other hand, there were
many singers that have already made a debut but was not quite talented. John
tried to improve their capability rather than applying more and more plastic
surgeries. DIOS finally acquired a reputation as a most sensible and rational
management company in the country, and what happened to Claudia?
She became the singer who is staying at the top of the
Billboard Chart for the longest time!
