W:Welcome to Class 2 and I am Professor Williams.Now I
will talk about heightism.You may not have heard of heightism
before.But it's like racism or sexism which stress a particular
kind of unequal treatment people experience.Tanya is a lawyer
and writer.She speaks about her book on the BBC radio pro
gram.She talks first about our general feelings about height.
She says no one wishes they were shorter.She also says tall peo
ple enjoy being tall,and they get great satisfaction from it.And
she also says many people show off their height.She explains
how some research has shown shorter people are less likely to get
jobs,less likely to get promoted and less likely to earn as much
as taller people.
