Some equate the absence of national costumes in people's day-to-day attire with a decline in cultural and historical appreciation, and suggest that to reverse the status quo, it is necessary to encourage citizens to wear
such
garments on a daily basis. In Linking Words
this
essay, I will challenge the aforementioned perspectives for the following reasons.
Admittedly, wearing traditional clothing can be seen as a visible and effective expression of one's respect for their cultural and historical heritage, as it showcases not only the unique cultural elements and historical benchmarks for their own country, but Linking Words
also
the traditional craftsmanship that weaves Linking Words
such
aspects together into national garments. Linking Words
However
, it has to be acknowledged that one has several media of expressing pride and appreciation for their cultural and historical roots Linking Words
while
wearing modern, non-traditional clothing. Linking Words
For example

or contributing to national progress through personal efforts. Remove the comma

Therefore
, it is overly simplistic to assume that abandoning traditional attire in daily life represents a fading appreciation for history and culture.
At first glance, the suggestion to encourage people to wear their national costumes every day seems effective. Linking Words
However
, in reality, it is far from feasible. To expect everyone to adopt a uniform mode of dressing is to expect a uniform fashion preference that does not exist. An individual's way of expressing - be it sporty, smart casual, or formal - is a form of self-expression, representing their unique personality. Linking Words
Furthermore
, most national costumes might not functionally fit modern society's diverse range of activities. Linking Words
For example
, it would be highly impractical for a construction worker, a firefighter, or an athlete to wear an ao dai, a kimono, or a hanbok in their day-to-day life.
In conclusion, Linking Words
although
traditional clothing can indeed express pride in one's cultural and historical roots, it is neither the most workable or solely way to do so.Linking Words
