SPEAKING NO. 4: Discussion - "It is impossible not to judge someone from their external appearance"

In this session, we will discuss the topic "It is impossible not to judge someone from their external appearance". The preliminary issues to discuss are the following:

1) We express outside what we have inside, so, if we are not tidy outside, that means we will not be organized either at work or home
2) Even though getting to know someone would be fantastic, it is not always necessary to know someone deeply. At work, for example, knowing someone's qualities for work are enough to interact with a person. Our external appearance must be elaborated so that we show a nice facade that everyone can like, we don't really need to show how we are at work, but need to have a socially accepted appearance.
