Privileges of being tall
Last class, we were ask to come with a list of privileges we have because of a certain status or attribute that we hold. Being tall for a woman, I have always heard more of the negative things that are associate with being tall for a woman than the positive things. But throughout my life I often realize there are privileges and advantages of being tall for a woman, as well. So I decided to do my 2 blogs on the privileges of being tall and short for a woman. Prilveges of being tall for a woman: 1. According to fashion industry and some of society, There is a definite reason why fashion models generally must be a certain height if they plan on strutting down the runway in couture classics. This is because clothes generally hang better on people who have longer frames. 2. This could be argue, but tall women who walk with their heads high, their shoulders thrust back, and with a firm step tend to be less likely to be attacked by criminals. 3. It is said that people who are taller tend to make more money (maybe this statement refer more to men because they tend to be taller) 4. At concerts or in huge crowds, no matter where I am position, I can usually see over the crowd. 5. When playing sports like basketball or volleyball, being tall is definitely an advantage 6. Tend to be more memorable 7. We I gain weight, it does not show so easliy or fast 8. I do not need a chair or ladder to reach certain things
