should people be judged on their clothing ?

 

As it is commonly understood, fashion has become a lifestyle and phenomenon in society. Some community assumes that dresses people wear are essential to identify the characteristic of human even the strata of society. However, there are several arguments state that people should not be determined by the clothes that they wear. In my point of view, the outfit is not only the way to judgment as personality or behavior is a dominant factor to judge someone.

These days, the characteristic of humans can be observed by the way people wear costumes because it is easy to notice what people like and interest in. For example, according to UNICEF, eight of ten teenagers can recognize the hobby belongs to their best friend based on the style and looks because inhabitant tends to choose fashionable clothes depending on taste and leisure activity. It is impressive that the characteristics of humankind can be decided by the material that they use in daily activity.

Furthermore, individuals can identify the social status of society. This is because the person can faster distinguish what is branded dress that people wear. For instance, according to a survey conducted by UNFPA, more than 17,000 citizens in New York can be identified whether has high revenue or not by looking after people's clothes. This is also triggered by many commercial brands that appear in society. Undoubtedly, it is easy to detect the social level by perceiving the clothes that they wear.

On the other hand, I personally believe that the public should not be judged by looking at appearance and style as characteristics and behavior are predominantly making people more care about each other. For example, Einstein, the genius who never concern about the fashionable and modern dress, but he can be recognized as a well-known scientist due to their ability and personality. It is evident that appearance not becomes the main way to judge people.

Judged by Clothing A person is always judged by the clothing they wear. Have you ever felt as if you were underdressed or overdressed? If you have experienced this feeling, it gives you a sense that you don’t belong. The way we dress is a big part of how society views or judges us. In a room full of people if you were to see everyone in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and there was one person that had on a fancy dress and nice shoes that person would automatically be the one that everyone looks at and will judge. Everyone has judged a person this way and will continue to do so, it’s just human nature. Sad but true. In this day and age, we have several ways to judge a person by their appearance.

I was just as smart, qualified, and even as energetic as they were. Could it have been that I was overweight, the way I wore my hair and makeup, or just by my clothing? I could not answer my questions and had to assume or hope that it was just because I was not as qualified. For seven years I was a manager at subway. Everyone knows the subway is known for its healthy and delicious sandwiches. I often wondered why we had to wear the uniforms that the subway franchise required us to wear. I got to wear a slightly different color shirt than the others only so people would know that I was the manager. Still, we had to wear the same color pants, shoes, and even a hat. I presume that it was because there would be less judgment among each other if we looked so similar. There would be no reason to talk about one another because “The clothes are part of the judgment of the mind” (Signs of Life in the U.S.A. p. 140). I was also a manager of Mancino’s pizza and grinders for about 3 years, with a less strict uniform policy. In this restaurant, you could wear whatever you wanted to as long as you wore their t-shirt. This caused a lot of tension and talk amongst employees because there is always that one or in some cases a few people that will dress a little promiscuous and it may be offensive to others in one way or another. Not only was it offensive to other employees but also to customers

The older I get, the more I realize that society is very judgmental. It sucks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that everyone is judgmental, but a handful of people are. That’s the harsh truth. Oftentimes, it comes down to the way one looks or dresses. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you one thing and one thing only: It shouldn’t matter. Out of all the things in life you could be worried about, it should not be about what somebody wears.

Being in college, I've noticed that people are often criticized for what they wear to class. "Why are they so dressed up for the class? It's only class." Or it could be the opposite, "Why are they not dressed up?" If you're dressed nice, people will judge; if you're not dressed nice, people will judge. You can never win. But it shouldn't have to be that way. I have a few reasons as to why and I'm stickin' around to tell you.

To start off, just because somebody dresses a certain way does not mean that’s how they are. For example, if someone is wearing designer clothing head to toe, that doesn't necessarily mean they have money or came from a rich background. If a person is wearing old and worn-out clothing, that does not make them poor. They could totally have money, they just don't spend it on clothes. You simply don't know. Stereotyping is not a good fashion, don't wear it.

Secondly, people have different styles and tastes. Everyone has the right to express themselves and some people do so by dressing up. Some do not. Sure, somebody may have a style completely different from yours, but that doesn’t make them any less of a person than you are. People like to dress up for themselves, not for everyone else. Next time you see a person wearing something you're not a fan of, just look away. You may not like it, but they probably do.

Lastly, we tend to pick people apart. Rather than focusing on what others are wearing, we need to focus on their great qualities. There is so much more to a person than what they wear. You may not like the way a person dresses but could love their personality. As a society in general, we need to look more for good people, not the bad. Easier said than done, totally. But it doesn't hurt to try!

My point here is, we live in a world where judging has become that nasty cough people can't seem to get rid of. In the grand scheme of things, we shouldn't judge, period. Life is too short for it. Let's lift people up instead of bringing them down. Let's smile instead of glare. And let's always remember what they taught us when we were little: Don't judge a book by its cover.
