Underrated Heightism: Why everyone wants a desired height ?

✍ KIRAN GOSWAMI

Heightism means the discrimination of an individual on the basis of height. A person’s height whether it is less or more than the average height is considered anomalous by the society.  Height is a trait of judgment for someone’s personality (the other parameters being colour, weight and gender).

There have been several underlying stereotypes regarding height that everyone of us wants a desired height and gets depressive if it doesn’t happen. 

Struggle for desired height :

The average height of an Indian man is about 5 feet 4 inches while that of woman is 5 feet. If someone suffers from major distortions in these height measures, then they are treated differently. If someone is extra tall, then he has to undergo discrimination and struggle.

But the struggle of a shorter person is a constant battle. The various advertisements of “attain long height” supplements are perfect examples for understanding the pressure to have desired, socially – acceptable height.

People also strive for normal height because of the several prejudices and discriminations they have to suffer from due to unusual height. Heightism or height discrimination is a highly neglected term and nobody accepts to be the supporter of height stereotypes but unknowingly we all are a part of it. Let’s take an example –

Imagine someone who have always inspired you .Someone whom you have always adored and followed. You not only like their talent or working style or looks but you are all over the way they talk, they walk, their confidence, their gesture, their posture, their behavior, their thoughts and their ideas. All in all you are totally up for that person’s personality. You cherish everything about that person. They are your role model and you, often, wish if you were just like them.

Now, there is a kink in the story. Imagine that person is half of their original height now. Go on, think, have the pictorial imagination. Why, what happened? The dream of becoming like them puffed into the thin air. Didn’t it?

This is where height discrimination slips in. We ignore the problems a person of unusual stature has to face but the struggle is real.

The Race of Desired Height:

There are certain reasons which cause people to constantly strive for getting certain height ­–

1.      Job Requirements  –  Height requirements

Height Never Matters

✍ Shravani Prabhudesai

Every person wants good height and personality. Usually a good & enough height is associated with the look and personality of a person. It is generally seen in society that a taller person is given more preference over a short person in almost every field. So it is a common general desire of everyone to gain an impressive height. 

But it is not possible that everyone gain perfect height, body build, it is not in our hand, there are some people who feel embarrassed or bullying by others because of their height and other body shape issues. It is a serious issue to discuss and to understand what is most important for us.

The true height of a person is his or her character and deeds. Short height is usually seen as a negative factor. No one ever talks with a short men in a positive way. specially when people are aware of the fact that you are insecure about your height, only then they tease you.

Shortness in children and young adults nearly always results from many factor like - heredity, below-average growth in childhood, nature of work and play in childhood, hormonal imbalance like thyroid hormone while shortness in older adults usually results from loss of height due to kyphosis  of the spine (convex curvature of spine), or collapsed vertebrae from osteoporosis. Other some factors are race, geographical status, physical exercise, nutrition, stress, living standard, housing etc.

A person is  said to be short in medical terms if his height is less than 5ft 10 inches for males and 5ft 5inches for females.

Parents with slow-growing children often ask pediatricians for growth hormone to save their kids the indignity of being short. 

Here, I would like to mention about one of my friend who is short in height. She has an inferiority complex. She always feel  herself lonely in a group of  people. In reality, she is really beautiful  and is gifted with a sweet voice, but because of her short height she has a complex. She feels that tall people or people with normal height look good and beautiful.. Because of this, she never mix with people and always stay alone. She always feel embarrassed about it. We friends always try to convince her that, one’s stature is not something which one has control over. God doesn't give everything to everybody.
