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?

Some would argue that to identify a person's ethnicity is through their clothing.
However
, I strongly disagree with
this
notion because most
people
nowadays wear almost similar fashion that belongs to a specific country.
Although
it is somehow true that we can recognise
people
where they come from through the apparel they wear. Like the Indians and Arab
people
, we can easily distinguish them as the citizens of India and the Kingdom of Suadi Arabi
due to
the colourful Sarees and Abayas of their women. In spite of the reasons provided, as observed
this
is not applicable longer to the general population of the mentioned country. Because more and more
people
adopt change in recent years like changing appearance
according to
their type.
On the other hand
, I would argue that finding one's culture and character through their clothing becoming difficult
due to
globalization. It opened up many possibilities and opportunities for many
people
that before were hard to access. Filipino,
for instance
, have the accessibility to purchase trendy clothing and make-up accessories from Korea and China which turns the locals look like foreign nationals.
Furthermore
, it can be seen that
this
change affects most
people
around the globe. Many have embraced the way other
people
looked, dressed up, and talked in a similar manner in a particular country that they visualized, like the Mexican to Americans and vice versa.
As a result
, it was becoming a challenge for an individual to possibly tell which person at their front come from. In conclusion,
while
Correct word choice
apply
show examples
I acknowledge the merit of the argument that we could tell a person's background by his clothing. Personally, I believe that the
due to
globalization it becomes hard to tell an individual's culture and character from their looks since many have adopted the way other
people
appear from another nation.
