people say that it is possible to tell a lot about a person's culture and character from their choice of clothes. Do you agree or disagree?
It has been believed by some that we can predict one's
culture
and personality based on the way they dress. I totally disagree with this
statement. This
essay will explore my view in details.
First
of all clothing style
is mostly influenced by fashion and style
more than culture
and character. In fact, fashion designers are the ones who choose the design clothing factories produce
them in a large mass. Add the particle
to produce
Therefore
, people
choose among the options available for them not based on their culture
. For example
back in the 60s when thick high heels were in fashion, people
around the world regardless of their culture
, religion and character would wear them because they were popular.
Another reason why clothing style
does not speak about one's personality traits lies in the fact that different countries also
follow their own style
of clothing. For instance
, in Iran where women have to cover their hair with a scarf, they can not walk on the street without a scarf even if they do not believe they should wear hijab. Thus
, another factor that can impact clothing choice is the pressure of the government in some Muslim countries.
Last
but not least, it is not fair to judge people
from their appearance in the first
place as clothing design change very quickly based on occasions. In other words
,it would be very superficial to start assuming about someone's culture
just by looking at their physical appearance and what clothes they wear at some point in time. For example
, all Muslims around the world cover their hair with a scarf and they do not wear bikinis and short sleeves. This
does not tell about who they are as a person before we start talking to them and get to know them because they can change their clothing style
over time.
To sum up, even though some might argue with me saying they can judge people
's personality and culture
by what they wear. I would disagree believing it is totally inaccurate to describe people
's culture
and character by those superficial factors.Submitted by armiario139 on
