Hay personas que pueden tener el sentimiento que, en ciertas ocasiones de sus relaciones sociales, se ha atentado a sus derechos 0 su dignidad.

Su sensibilidad a diferentes formas de ostracismo es mas aguda que la de los adultos, pero se aplica sobre todo a ofensas contra su imagen: se quejan mas de vejaciones -burlas 0 insultos -que de injusticias 0 . negaciones de derechos. La apariencia ffsica -peso, estatura y aspecto -constituye para los jovenes el motiva principal de. las formas de ostracismo deI que . se quejan. Lo mencionan sobre todo las muchachas corpulentas y los muchachos endebles. Pero, sea cual . sea su corpulencia, las muchachas son mas sensibles que los muchachos: al contrario de éstos, este evento reduce sus probabilidades de emparejarse. El racismo es otra manifestacion de una discriminacion relacionada a la apariencia. Un joven de cada cuatro extra-europeo declara haber sido vfctima de malos tratos debido a sus rafces extranjeras. La intensidad de . este sentimiento de estigmatizacion es muy variable segun los orfgenes y el sexo.

People sometimes feel that their rights have been violated or their dignity attacked in some of their social relationships. This is most often reported by young people. Young people are much more sensitive to different forms of ostracism than adults, and are particularly sensitive to attacks on their self-image: they complain more of humiliation -mockery and insults -than injustice or rights violation. Young people, particularly large girls and thin boys, believe that their physical appearance (weight, height and look) is the main reason for the ostracism that they experience. Yet, what, ever their body size, young girls are more sensitive to this kind of ostracism than boys, and experiencing it reduces their chances of developing personal relationships. Racism is another form of discrimination Iinked to appearance. One in four young people of non-European origin declare being a victim of ill treatment due to their foreign origins. The intensity of this feeling of discrimination varies according to origin and gender. Young immigrants recently arriving from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia and men of Nort...

The old and the beautiful: senior women’s exposure to models in advertisements and the impact on their identity

“…As they age, they diverge from the norms of feminine beauty because youth is a constituent of beauty (Borau and Bonnefon, 2017). Moreover, the social injunction to look young puts additional pressure on older women and increases identity tensions (Galland, 2006): "not feeling old" but "looking old." The few studies on the topic highlight the dissatisfaction of older women with how they look (Dumas et al, 2005;Macia and Chapuis, 2008), showing the very pronounced tensions arising from the feeling on the part of senior women that have been betrayed by their appearance.…”

Perceptions of success among working-class children of immigrants in three cities

“…While youth unemployment in France is twice that in the US-when employed, CINA are more likely to be in part-time positions, and under-employed compared to their native French peers (Alba et al, 2013). The surplus of young people in the French labor market may result in discriminatory hiring practices (Hargreaves, 2015), and Silberman et al (2007) find that many CINA feel that they have been discriminated against on the basis of their names (see also Galland, 2006). Langevin et al (2017) find that, even though education plays a significant role in explaining employment and wage gaps in the French context, hiring discrimination plays a role in ethnic labor-market outcomes.…”

The Children of Immigrants in France

“…While differences in educational success are explained largely by social origin and parental educational attainment, this is not true in the labour market, where differential results among groups must in part be attributed to the effects of discrimination (Silberman and Fournier 2006). In the ranking of the reasons given by youth of immigrant origin for stigma and injustice, the perception of racism is closely associated with the issues of labour market success and unemployment (Galland 2006). Silberman and Fournier (2006) use two waves of the surveys of the Centre for Research on Education, Training and Employmentgeneration and generation 98to examine the conditions of labour market access among various groups of young people over 10 years (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003).…”
