Have you ever seen vipers just constrict around their prey, taking away their last hope and breathe? Time and time again the world wants everyone to be seen individuality and yet at the same time they want to see everyone in perfect order. Mankind is a different kind of confusion, they want everyone to be like themselves and yet at the same they want us to look just the same. Always bland and tasteless, nothing to show color, nothing to show the beauty that we show when we are ourselves. Uniforms just another viper that constrict our great individuality, our emotions, our wanting to be seen not just some other person.
Emotions can be shown, and mostly our clothing shows that we want to be seen as flashy, dark, or even hopeful. Although when uniforms come into the equation what does it give us? Nothing. No showing into ones emotion, no show of how that person is feeling. Although yes their face can show a few words is it really enough? No it’s not, Uniforms just show you are just another bland person with minimal to nothing in feeling, and yes we can add accessories but as well, those are limited to bland and nothing that shows real emotion. Someone that wears a uniform can fake a smile, can fake a laugh since they know that with what

Well let’s start with this one with there is absolutely none, add a bow that cute but the color will be the same you see throughout the way around the school. Where are the jewels, the great colors, and the fun way to move around and not feel like you are in a box? Go somewhere else that doesn’t have uniform, because you aren’t going to see it here. One can’t tell what styles they have so they don’t know who they can connect with. A bubbly girl social girl going with introverts that don’t like to speak with much people, that isn’t the best way to know who friends will be. It could’ve been avoided if they showed more of who they really
If we wear uniforms we will all look alike every single day. Dress code can also be bad because it forces you to buy the expensive clothes that you have to get the logo sewed onto each one of the shirts. Some of them cost a lot of money so some people might not be able to afford the clothes. While some rich people can't even tell how much money they would spend on their uniforms. Some of the poorest people won’t be able to pay for the uniforms, which isn't good for them. The only
One could argue that uniforms take away individuality. Although this does seem true at first, it doesn’t
The first major reason for not wearing school uniforms is, it forces a student to conceal his or her individuality. To many people, it appears that the school system is trying to strip away this individuality on purpose, but now is the time that the school should be embracing it and helping the student become the person they are meant to become. “According to opponents of uniforms, even preschoolers should have input into their wardrobe, and the need to encourage personality, confidence, and independence grows more important as the student becomes older” (Chen). Because of this lack of self-expression, students feel their first amendment is being violated and most people would agree, which causes the school to look bad. Another way of looking at it is they are forcing students to become on mold, or one certain way of being. However, the problem with making them one is, no matter how they look they will still have their own individual personality traits that will come out in the end. If forced to wear the uniforms, many students would express these traits by adding things to their uniform such as brightly colored gems for girls and different
Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.
Michael Jordan once stated, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb over it, go through it, or walk around it.” This inspirational quote motivated many to overcome adversity when challenged by it. The texts, Speak by Laurie Anderson, “Third and Final Continent” by Lahiri Lahiri, and “The Art of Resilience” by Hara Marano, all have themes similar to Jordan’s quotation. All three articles support this through symbolism, foreshadowing, and character interactions. A common theme that one must stay resilient in order to overcome challenges while also staying level-headed during the positive and negatives is shown in Speak, “The Third and Final Continent,” and “The Art of Resilience.”
Uniform specifications, by which each member must abide, emphasize regularity cohesion group cooperation and solidarity. The many different branches have many different regulations for different uniforms . Uniform specifications are designed to maintain the uniform's functionality in the line of duty. Uniforms that fail to conform to the set standards could interfere with a service member's ability to perform his duty. For example, a cold-weather uniform that's not actually adapted to the cold according to official specifications could pose a risk to that soldier's well-being in the field.These standards have been proven over time and ensure the safety of the soldier . The person wearing the uniform should look neat and concise not drawing attention to themselves. Soldiers should look like a unit or group with everyone blending in not standing out because they look different. In the army it's important to be part of a team and like teams that play basketball, football,
In everyday life we see people wearing uniforms to be identify in the job that they do an the Army has the uniform to show that a member wearing it is a soldier and that’s what makes it so important. An Army
There you are. Just standing there, looking back at your reflection through the mirror and seeing all of the negative words permanently sticking to you. Not very many people truly love who they are, and that is because of the society we live in today. No one likes to be judged all of the time for who they are or what they do. So, we end up doing anything to fit in, no matter what. Your identity is who you are and your actions, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of it, but some people are. Those people are the ones that have figured out that they won’t fit in unless they manage to change something, and unfortunately they choose to change their identity, because of stereotypes, prejudice, and self doubt.
According to the text,” We live in a dynamic society, full of unique characters that make our world spontaneous one. Cutting that off at a young age only stifles creativity and encourages conformity,”(Hoofnagle et al.)This shows uniforms are bland and they aren't exciting to put on in the morning and some kids dread it. On top of that you can tell if the are new are old.
Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.
because it help us pay attention to detail. we are at war with a country that is using our deficiency to their advantages to kill our soldiers. so in order to help avoid this from happening continuously, so by training us to pay attention to how everything is suppose to be and look exactly the same and it allows us to use that skill to protect one another down the range and on battle field. Uniforms help identify or tell us someone’s job or an organization they belong to. When you see a uniform it tells you something about the person wearing it. When you think about it, you see uniforms every day. For example, doctors, police, chefs, and us soldiers. Uniforms can tell you that a person is there to help you. It makes them look different from other people so you can identify/recognize them more easily.
School uniforms also serve little to no purpose in benefiting the education of children around America. A uniform does not help a student learn things that they need to know. A uniform does not help a student study, take notes, or make flash cards. They bring no educational value to the table of learning. According to many educators and experts, “Uniforms do not improve academics, behavioral and social outcomes, or reduce discrimination or crime” (Farrell). So if a uniform cannot help a student increase their knowledge or grow as a person, why make students wear them?
People say you are what you wear. Well, uniforms are expensive and are a violation of human rights, even though it’s professional and sober clothing, they don’t allow students to express who they are, so how are they supposed to be what they wear? People say it prevents bullying, but bullying can happen without uniform. School uniform promotes conformity over individuality. They are difficult to enforce in public schools. It is more money to pay for uniforms and normal clothes outside of school. There really isn’t a uniform in real life like working if you work as a janitor at a school it doesn’t matter what you wear it matters that you get the job done.
Uniforms have been around for centuries, from back in the day when women had to wear dresses or skirts and men had to wear pants. To now where students and employees have to wear certain pieces of clothing. People dress to express themselves, schools tell their students to be who they are and to be proud; however, when the student tries to do so they are sent home or held in the office which not only takes away their rights to express themselves, but takes them out of class. According to Friedrichs, “A shocking number of students are actually sent home or suspended for breaking dress code, which means even more time out of class.” A school's job is to prepare children for their futures, that can be quite hard when the student is not there to learn. Dress codes can be overwhelming to maintain. A student's wardrobe isn’t going to be full of polos and khakis because they most likely do not wear polos and khakis outside of school. Dress code should not be as strict, hoodies should be allowed, tank tops should be
Uniforms may represent unity in a school, however we are told to be different and be ourselves. There are several supreme court cases that have proved that the First Amendment, freedom of expression, the Supreme Court stated in one case in particular “it can hardly be argued that either students and teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." With uniforms we are losing the main way we express ourselves.
