Some People Say That It Is Possible To Tell A Lot About A Person’s Culture And Character From Their Choice Of Clothing. Do you agree or disagree ?

#people #person’s #culture #character #choice
Most
people
 agree that we can infer a lot from one person on how they dress . Personally, I believe that
people
 signal a lot,
such
 as their character and culture, by their choice of clothing. I feel
this
 way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin
 with, a group choose their clothing from how they feel overall. If they are confident with their body, they might utilize shorter clothes and show more skin.
In contrast
, more depressed
people
 might feel compelled to adopt longer clothes and not show any surface of their bodies. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of
this
. In my teenage years I was really shy and a little bit chubby,
therefore
 I used to wear more dark tones and attire that would have covered my entire body. As I grew and became more confident I started to use shirts with shorter sleeves.
Furthermore
, most cultures have a pattern in how they dress . It is easy to spot a tourist in most cities, as they do not adopt the common apparel of the community where they are visiting.
For instance
, there is a running joke on the internet that it is really easy to spot a European in America because they utilize more colourful attire and
also
 shorter shorts. I had an experience where someone could get to know my culture only by my attire. As it is really usual in my state to use the local soccer team jerseys when I went to other places
people
 could easily identify where I came from. In conclusion, I strongly feel that how individuals dress can tell a lot about them.
This
 is because we see clothes as a way to express ourselves and
also
 a way to show our culture to the world.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
