Questions:
To what extent are appearances important in today’s society?

Do appearances determine our first impression of somebody? Why/How?

Have you witnessed/experienced situations in which somebody turned out to be different from what you initially expected?

To what factors could we attribute this? Is it something we are born with or, rather, something we are conditioned to learn as we grow up?
