Some 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?
While some persons are of the opinion that it is possible to decipher an individual's way of
life
and attitude from their fashion sense, I do not agree with this
statement, and this
essay will explain further
.
On the one
hand, clothing is an aspect of one
's tradition. For this
reason, many are of the belief that one
's choice of clothes
can possibly tell a lot about their way of life
. In Nigeria , for example
, a typical Igbo man from the Southeastern part of the country can easily be identified amongst many by merely wearing a material made from a Leopard's skin. Due to the fact that fashion sense is unique to a particular culture
, some individuals would argue that it is can relay a lot of information about their way of life
. However
, I don't agree with this
.
On the other hand
, I disagree with the fact that one
's choice of clothes
can tell about their culture
and attitude. This
is because of the effects of globalization in recent times. The world is becoming a small global village and people from different walks of life
mimic the dressing of other cultures. For instance
, a significant proportion of Nigerians put on suits regularly, a dressing peculiar to an English man. Considering the fact that they wear these clothes
that are not unique to their culture
doesn't make them English, As a result
of this
trend, I totally disagree with persons who claim that one
's choice of clothes
can determine their culture
as well as character.
In conclusion, although
many would argue and I do not concur that one
's clothing can tell a lot about their culture
because with globalization, we are having different people from other traditions replicating those of others.Submitted by Victoria on
