Have you ever seen a more provocative generation of women than today’s? Women these days are starting to dress completely out of hand. The majority of clothing women, especially teens these days are showing more and more skin than ever before. This distracts men from what is important, as well as making them lose their moral direction. Women need to know it is their responsibility to dress appropriately to keep from distracting men. I propose we implement a nationwide (possibly universal) dress code set forth to keep women on the right track. Women should not be allowed to show their shoulders, stomachs (this one is a no brainer), knees, any form of cleavage, any thin and form fitting pants, and collarbones. This includes being in a social areas other than just in work or school settings. At the beach or places with recreational swimming, there must be no two pieces and the swimsuit must include shorts and sleeves (which means only knees and collarbones would be in any way provocative). If a woman is shown to have broken any of these guidelines, she will be punished appropriately, the harshness of the punishment will depend upon how revealing the clothing …show more content…
This is the woman’s fault in that she dressed provocatively, triggering the erotic nature men. It is up to the women to change themselves in order to conform to what will make the men more comfortable in these situations. When women dress revealingly, they are practically asking to be taken advantage of, and when they are, they go and “cry rape” trying to get these men arrested. If a woman is “raped” it her fault, she should have not dressed in a seductive manor. She should be the one to be penalized, not the men who fell for her seductive methods. If women just follow the dress code, then these problems will no longer occur, and men will live more
I am not doing this necessarily for myself. I am doing it for the females to follow long after I am gone. My enthusiastic, ambitious pupils in high school help me realize that there is a greater purpose in all the work I have done. To denounce our tight corsets and long hair is to regain our own sense of identity. Why can’t I wear loose clothing? Why is it frowned upon to sport a short bob instead of the apparently coveted luscious locks? If a man can smoke a cigarette, what is the purpose of a man having a say in whether or not I choose to smoke a cigarettes. My mindset tells me that the patriarchy should not even be able to comment scantily regarding a woman smoking a cigarette. All the women are smoking and that is that. This advocation dress reform may seem superficial, but it is more symbolic of the lack of freedom in society. I want to demonstrate the lack of freedom women possess today, as showcased by a guideline of how women should dress. A breathing restricting clothing st...
Zhou takes a stand against this issue in her article “The Sexism of School Dress Codes” published by The Atlantic. In her, article Zhou creates a strong argument through Aristotle's argumentative devices ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos. She writes this article to a wide audience of students, parents, school faculty, and others interested in the effects of school dress codes. Zhou informs the audience on the issue then, encourages her audience to take a stand against the issue and finally leaves her audience with a call to action to first acknowledge that this issue exists, then enlighten others on the issue to successfully combat the unfair
Zhou, L. There are more dress code policies for the females compared to the males. For example, girls should not wear backless shirts, no spaghetti tops, no crop-tops that expose the stomach, no short shorts, no miniskirts, etc. Boys, on the other hand, have no specific dress code policies. Dress codes may come off as sexist for women and they get insulted by it. An article on the problem with dress code from The Daily Princetonian stating "- women are policed so that they are no longer distracting to men, while men, if policed at all, are never told to change for the benefit of the opposite sex.
School is something we all know and understand. Regardless of whether we wanted it or not, we have all passed through school. School is, first and foremost, a place designed for people to go and learn. It is a place to better yourself, to learn facts, discipline, to learn social and economic skills. But for all that school is intended for, people go for different reasons. Some are hardworking and academically minded, they go to learn, to set a good foundation for their future, with an aim of becoming successful and accomplished in their career. Others are carefree, going for the social side, to be popular, have lots of friends, and in the end just to have a good time. For others it can even be a place of safety, a place where they can get
One of the greatest controversies that is spreading throughout high schools in the United States is parents and their children against the enforcement of their school’s uniform policy. More schools have been adopting uniform policies within the past decade. Rules contained in the policy that are implemented range from wearing certain types of tops (shirts) in specified colors to students being required to tuck in their shirts. In the past, uniforms were exclusively for students who attended private schools because they were “well-off”, but now uniforms are being seen more frequently in public schools on students of all economic levels. Having gone through a school system that considered adopting a uniform policy, I would have to press against the issue of mandated uniforms, because it is simply un-American and unjust.
High school is typically a time when kids begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to develop their own sense of personal style, desperately trying to both fit in and stand out simultaneously. Being self-conscious and often lacking the confidence needed to assert themselves, teens are forced to use clothing and outward appearance as the means to manifest this individuality. Thus, students should not be forced to wear uniforms to school. Standard uniforms are unproven deterrents to student violence; are a "Band-Aid" to cover up the real problems faced by children and teens; and they violate students' right of self-expression, depriving them of their search for identity.
Dress code, probably one of the most talked about topics by teenagers. Most teenagers believe that dress code is “witless” or “incompetent”. Why do we think this? Well, most adults believe that keeping a strict dress code keeps us educated because apparently our clothes are “distracting”. Now I can see how wearing booty shorts and a tank top would be distracting, but how is wearing sweatpants distracting? If anything wearing sweatpants keeps us comfortable, because I know that being uncomfortable is way more distracting than wearing sweatpants. When I wear sweatpants I can lay back and relax while the teacher talks, but if I am uncomfortable I am more likely to move around and fidget with my clothes rather than listen to the lesson.
Well, it's that time of year again...the beginning of the school year and the ever dreaded task of school shopping. Sure, there's that need to be draped from head to toe in all of the popular brands & styles. However, where is there to shop that sells clothes that leave anything to the imagination anymore. There's no doubt that in every store you enter you'll find racks and racks of short shorts, miniskirts, midriff tops, and of course the ever popular skinny jeans in every style and color you can imagine. Now, back in my day, we couldn't even dream of entering school without making sure our skirts & shorts were longer than our fingertips or for some at least knee length; and those who tried were sure to be making a call home for a change of clothes in line with the dress code.
Dress code, Reason 1 dress code is not a bad thing but a good thing dress code can keep it under control but some people has it way too strict like there was a 12 year old girl who missed two days of school because of tight pants well tight pants is supposed to be tight on up but people should be aloud to wear whatever they want to wear it's a free a free country you know it should be whatever you what to wear when you want to like the 12 year old girl if it’s cold outside and you don't have blue what are you supposed to wear well i would wear shorts but that's just me.
No Dresscode For College College is the place where students begin to be independent. Most of the time, the students are expected to be able to think clearly and to know what is deemed as good or bad. This also applies to clothes-making decisions. The students are capable to wear whatever they want to wear as long as it is appropriate enough for studying. In my opinion, there are three main reasons why college should not make dress codes as a necessity for all college students.
Choosing what to wear for the day. This is what most students are thinking about when they wake up. Students need the latest fashion in order to fit in, but some clothing may not be acceptable to wear in school. School dress codes are denying students their right to dress how they want, but the dress code is important for the students and their learning. Students are beginning to stand up and want to be heard. Some students are taking action and want the dress code to become less strict but some schools are doing the opposite for safety issues and for the students healthy learning environment. Dress codes are important for a strong and healthy learning environment and is also reducing violence in many schools around the country.
School uniforms are a boiling conversation point these days. There are so many well-built points of view about what route parents, students, and superintendents wish to go in. It has been disputed that school uniforms have the potential to make a school safer, that uniforms reduce harassment or self-esteem issues, and that uniforms return the focus to the students' learning. I disagree. I, in fact think that school uniforms do not help make our schools a more secure place, I think that they do not revisit the center of attention to student's education - they just shifted where the attention was previous, and that they won’t help cut down on harassment or self- esteem issues in school.
A student’s high school career should be about discovering new knowledge and discovering who you are, not about what you wore. One rule that I would change at Ralston is the dress code policy. The dress code policy limits a student's right to express themselves, be comfortable in what they wear and ultimately put a higher value some students over others.
School Uniforms As the years go by numerous public schools are starting to drift into more of a private school concept. From the way that they run programs at public schools, to the way that have their students wear school uniforms. Many will argue that having students wear uniforms take away some of their rights and restrict students from freedom of expression; But when it comes down to it, is their freedom of expression really being taken away? Or are parents and students just over reacting because they aren’t getting what they want?
More and more, young women are being targeted and punished for dress code violations. While this may be due to the fact that fashion in today’s society is all about tight clothes, it could also lead to more
