Recommended: Negative effects of school uniforms on self-esteem

People behave differently when they wear different clothes. Yes I agree with this argument. Why? The reason why people behave differently when wearing different clothes is because the way it will make them feel. If we put on new nice clothes it may make us not only feel more comfortable but also may raise our self esteem. Self esteem is very important since it will make us more confident. When we are confident with ourselves, it will make us act differently. A good example for this is in the military where the officers wear uniforms with different badges starting from the front , on the hat and even on the left and right shoulders, which will help define their rank in the army. The more badges and honors someone has attached on their uniform,

  • Human Behavior and the Social Environment: A Look at Three Theories

    1296 Words  | 3 Pages

    Social work has long recognized the relationship between the behavior of an individual and the environment in which the individual interacts (Hutchison, 2008). Human behavior theories offer a framework to organize, interpret and understand this relationship (Hutchison, 2008). For this case study, the following three theories will be examined for relevancy: Life cycle theory, role theory and resiliency theory.

    The Holocaust is a traumatic history. About six millions of Jews got killed during this period of time. Holocaust is a history of anti-Semitism in Europe, anti-Semitism gained their strength after World War One, Germany had lost the war, so the German people blame the Jews for losing the war, and the Jews became the scapegoat. So Anne Frank is one of those Jews who got discriminate during the Holocaust. She went to hiding with her family, and the diary she wrote during her hiding time remained after she got killed in the camp. Her diary was published after then, and in her diary she had state it “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” I totally agree with her in this statement.

    What is human nature? It is very simple. Human nature refers to the patterns of behavior that are typical of our species or our kind. Human undergoes change as all humans grow up they nature seems to change; the environment someone grow up in effects that persons nature. To fully understand human nature Dr. Marvin Harris takes us on trip to time, which makes sense because if we better understand our past and our origin we will better understand our very existence and our nature. We will know more about who we are where we are from and such other questions that puzzle the human mind.

  • Conformity In Logan Feys 'Sociology Of Leopard Man'

    1347 Words  | 3 Pages

    People are under constant pressure to conform to the current designer fashions in order to be accepted as beautiful and “cool.” Jerry M. Burger explains this type of conformity well, he says, “We don’t want to look out of step or become the target of criticism just because we like different kinds of music or dress differently than everyone else. Fitting in also brings rewards such as camaraderie and compliments” (Jerry M. Burger, “Conformity and Obedience”). Children can be mean and wearing something different or unusual compared to everyone else can definitely do harm to one’s self confidence when another person ridicules them for their fashion choices. Because of this, people are pressured into dressing the same and having the same style of clothing as everyone else. Overtime children and adults adapt to that new style of clothing and begin to deride others for dressing differently. We, as human beings, are forced to conform whether good or bad,

  • Human Behavior: Nature vs. Nurture

    1744 Words  | 4 Pages

    Scientists and biologist have argued the Nature versus Nurture debate for decades. This debate is about the degree to which our environment and heredity, affects our behavior and developmental stages. According to this debate, nature can be described as, the behavior of a person is occurring because of their genetic makeup. Since the behavior of a person is due to their genetic makeup, then, it (nature) should also influence a person’s growth and development for the duration of their life. However, the nurture side of the debate says, the cause for an individual’s behavior is because of environmental factors. This would mean that the influence from our family (immediate and extended), friends and other individuals would mold our behavior. Ultimately, no one knows if nature or nurture affects behavior more; or if it is a combination of both nature and nurture dictating an individual’s behavior; or if neither nature nor nurture affects a person’s behavior. This paper will examine the nature versus nurture debate through the topics of violence, intelligence and economics, and sports.

    Fashion is one of those things that people can claim they don't care about. They can defend again and again that it doesn't matter what one wears, it's the person who wears it. But in all likelihood they will continue to be judged, as we all are, for the clothes on our body, the shoes on our feet and the hairstyle we are sporting.

    “When I wear a blazer I get more stuff done.” Says senior Sarah Watson. There’s no secret that the clothes you wear can affect how you may act. But does it affect how other people treat you? An anonymous source says, “I think that in our school people base their friendships off of how you dress and how you look, not on how you act or treat people.” This is a sad thing to hear but some people may experience this as the sad truth. These kinds of things run through our minds and manipulate us into thinking things like, ‘they will like me if I have the new Iphone, or the new Nike shoes.’ But we don’t think about our behaviors, we just think about our first impressions on people and how we look, we think it decides everything for us, and in

    From the time when humanity was able to believe in it, Utopia has existed as a mere word, thought or principle. It is a place that is hoped for, and is also a society that was and is apparently deemed to be possible, or is it? The Mirriam-Webster’s dictionary defines it as “an imaginary and indefinitely remote place of ideal perfection in laws, government and social conditions.” It doesn’t exist. It cannot exist because of our nature, our practices, and our imperfections.

  • Proposal For A Uniform Dress Code

    810 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most common argument against school uniforms is that they take away the students right to self-expression. Yes, school uniforms limit what the students have to wear, but students can still have their own ways of self-expression. Students can still express their style of choice with their hair and what accessories they wear. Their shoe choice is also a form of self-expression. Students can make the uniforms their own style without breaking the dress code. School is a place to learn. Outside of school, self- expression is limitless. Some parents also believe that it could interfere with students' natural behavior to experiment with different identities. Having uniforms in schools helps erase the defined line of the social classes. Typically, popular kids in the higher social classes wear the trendiest clothing...

  • Black Hair Discrimination Research Paper

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout generations clothes have been styled differently representing different meanings. Years ago, girls would be covered from head to toe because of the fear that all men were a threat. Today girls will be wearing half a shirt and a short skirt to school while men will have their pants down representing that nothing matters to them. As life has gone by, humans have had different ideas as to what is appropriate and inappropriate. Womens clothing have become more provocative, short and tight, making it harder for them to choose clothing where they won’t get the negative attention. They complain about the fact that they can not wear what gives them confidence or be able to express themselves. On the other hand, some women are wearing the clothing they chose for the attention, yet when they get the attention they complain. In the article, “These are not girls who are battling for the right to come to school in their bikinis-it’s a principle” by Liz Zhou (The Atlantic), talks about the fact that girls are the cause for “distracting” their peers at school. They feel as if they are being treated as sex objects, those who

    Kids and teens have the right to pick out what they wear, sure it may take a bit longer, but in the long run it is worth it. Everyone has the right to express themselves freely and by the way they look. It can tell what kind of person they are. Think about it, you go into a school that has uniforms you see everyone wearing the same stuff who is who? What kind of personality could they have, maybe one like being a brick in the wall. Walk into a school without uniforms and you can instantly tell anyone’s personality by what they wear, so they express their emotions through their clothing.

  • Persuasive Essay: Should School Uniforms Be Required?

    840 Words  | 2 Pages

    Should school uniforms be required? Some say that uniforms help students focus on academics instead of fashion. Others believe that students should have the freedom to choose what they wear to school in order to express their differences and their uniqueness. After considering both sides of the issue, I strongly believe that uniforms should be introduced in primary public and private schools. Wearing school uniforms does not promote unfair comparisons between student’s incomes in terms of clothing; they aid students in developing their inner qualities instead of focusing on the outer aspects of themselves in the crucial earlier years of their lives, and provides a platform for practicing discipline.
