Let's  face it. We are judged on looks. In general, people like to say  otherwise. People tend to say that "It's the inside that counts". While  there may be truth to that statement, it doesn't take away from the fact  that physical appearances matter to us. If it didn't, we would never go  to the gym or wear certain outfits. The same goes for food. What I eat  and find delicious may be disgusting for the next person.

 Watch the video,  Taboo: Marks of Identity". Out of all of the  mini-episodes you watched, which one was the most different?

Do you know someone whose personal choices and how they choose to  mark their body makes them an outcast?  Explain your reaction to the  video and answer the questions thoroughly.
