By judging someone only by their appearance you are not giving them the chance to show what they have to offer. When you judge someone off of their looks you could be missing out on the kindest and hardworking person you have ever met. Some people can’t afford to dress in nicer clothes and just have to work with what they have. Other people prefer to dress in what makes the either feel nice about themselves or comfortable. The way a person dress should not be a major factor when it comes to judging them because they are many aspects as to why they are dressed a certain way.…
The way that someone dresses can reveal a lot about them. There are whole studies on how the way a person dresses can be an indicator of more than just what…
As much as people may want to avoid passing instant judgments on others, it seems to be a part of human nature to be critical. Stereotyping and making assumptions over a person due to the way they are casually dressed…
Our first impression of someone is almost always visual. Immediately we scan everyone we meet from head to toe and make instant assumptions. We use our first visual impression of someone as an indicator of who they are and where they've been. While there are many ways to read someone based on their “look”, clothes may be the most telling. Clothes either show our uniqueness as individuals or they indicate what groups and lifestyles we pledge allegiance to. Clothing paints the first picture in our minds about everyone we meet. Based on simple clothing choices, we can tell how much money one makes, what kind of personality they have and even their sexual orientation…
For example, a man with dreadlocks and tight jeans is likely to catch your attention. This may be a positive or negative thing, depending on your perspective, but you are likely to give him a second glance. A person's personal style says a lot about who they are and how others portray them. For example, a person in a suit is more likely to be portrayed positively at a job interview than a person in a crumpled shirt and wrinkled pants. A person wearing professional makeup and a dress is more likely to make a positive impression than someone in a t-shirt and jeans at a job interview. While this is all about perception, it ties in with society's view of the importance of fashion.…
In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, before Laertes leaves for France, Lord Polonius advises his son Laertes that, “The apparel often proclaims the man”. This quote states that people in general, form judgements, based upon what clothing a person wears. In today’s society, we still see the same type of judgement happening! People are judged on a daily basis for what they put on their bodies. Whether it’s a way to express yourself or just your style; women and men of all ethnicities, races, and sexual orientation are subject to being judged based upon the clothes that they…
Now, I’m not going to lie and say that I’ve never in my life judged a person based on their clothes, or makeup, because I have. Even though I don’t like to admit it, on many occasions I’ve met someone for the first time and assumed different aspects about them based on ones outside features. But just because I associate their appearance with certain behaviors or attitudes, doesn't mean that I stick them in a stereotype box and that's all they ever are to me.…
It is dangerous to have different appearance or style of clothing to the rest of society. Clothing is functioning as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style, it usually gives people a prejudice to particular person. But when ones appearance is too different to others, they face bullying, simply because most of the…
a. It is not acceptable to judge a person on what they wear, have or own. For example, it is completely not fair to say that somebody has a rotten personality just because their clothes are a little dirty and smelly - that's just not right. Maybe he/she just went to PE without deodorant and forgot to take a shower and then fell into a dirty pit. The way you judge, you will be judged also.…
What you wear determines what people think of you. Many people express their identity through clothes and social images. Each clothing style is categorized in different ways. Take a music artist, such as Eminem for example, he influenced many younger children to take up “his” fashion trend. He dresses in ridiculously loose-fitting jeans that sag to reveal the tops of his underwear, wears oversized T-shirts, and wears his hats to the side. Not only children, but also adults who idolize Eminem, change their appearance to act like him. The problem is that, in most cases people change their clothing style so that they can meet others standards.…
In conclusion, I personally think classifying a person by their fashion choice is bizarre. We see the different outfits every day, and I believe it makes us all different in a good way. We all get these different outfits to stand out, but do we all want to be judged because of…
The phenomenon of dress and bodily adornment has always been a matter of conflict. It seems that society is constantly trying to repress the notion of aesthetics being a priority in any sense. Generally speaking, we are taught from a young age that looks are not important and we should not use them to make judgements of people. This is then contradicted by the notion of a doting mother always concerned about their child’s appearance, a nervous girl on a first date spending hours attempting to find something to wear, beauty pageants, wearing your best for a job interview even if the job’s uniform consists of a store shirt and khaki pants, and the like. This discord between what we say and how we actually feel creates some problems in the realm of identity. What we wear is a very important part of our process of socialization and since our dress is the medium for how other people view us, there can be problems when we are wearing things that do not represent who we feel our personal self is.…
There are many reasons why we choose to wear a particular article or style of clothing. Many of us consider our choice in clothing as an extension of our identity. While many others pick items from their wardrobe that reflect their current mood. There are also many times when we choose to dress a certain way in anticipation of being in a particular social setting. Even people who don 't seem to bother with matching clothes or wearing a designer label or walk around wearing clothes that are torn and dirty, are making a statement. What remains to be examined is whether or not there is a clear relationship between the clothing we wear and our social interactions.…
It is intrinsic in humans to judge. Those who say otherwise, I believe, are hypocrites. We form our own opinions about everyone that comes in our way, from our relatives, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our acquaintances, and to even random people you pass by every day. With this in mind, we try our best to look and feel good so that when others see us they judge us in a favorable way. It’s a two-way process: judge and be judged. Although as simple as it may sound, this process creates invisible barriers between people. A good example for this is discrimination. If you’re a guy with a Mohawk hairstyle, people in general connotes that either you’re a rebel, a rock band member, an atheist, an alcoholic, or just plain weird to even consider that hairstyle. Let me give you another example, picture this: a lady wearing micro-shorts, a tank top and flip-flops in a mall. Some would say she is a flirt, for others a prostitute and some would conclude that she has little to no education at all just because she wore that kind of clothing. See? By judging based on appearances we put them into various categories: rich, poor, handsome, ugly, fat, skinny, mentally challenged or educated, etc.…
