The most obvious trait something or someone can have is beauty. As such it makes sense that it would be most highly valued for one must have awareness of something in order to to value it. Further, first impressions are powerful, so imagine if your most wonderful trait was the first thing anyone learned about you. In addition, there is a psychological phenomenon; the "Halo effect". People's motives, actions etc. are perceived more positively if one already knows of a positive trait the person possesses. Side: Yes, the world does.
