Studies show that good looking students get higher grades from their teachers than those with ordinary appearance. This is not un-common, subconsciously everyone takes looks into consideration, even patients who are better looking get more personalised care from their doctors and handsome criminals receive lighter sentences than less attractive criminals.
Studies suggest that the amount a person earns is affected by their physical attractiveness, the results show that "people low in physical attractiveness earns 5 to 10% less than ordinary looking people, who in turn earn 3 to 8% less than those considered good looking." these statistics can be used in a Marxist theory. These statistics link success and beauty, the beautiful are getting paid higher and in higher status jobs which allow them to own cultural making institutions and instead of controlling the working class they control the less attractive and exploit them.
