ISSUE 208 - " The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people." No one can deny that each society is distinct in its features when compared to other societies. Each society has its own deep ideas and values. In my opinion, these ideas and beliefs can be reflected through the way of appearance of behavior. It has been observed that during the progressing of societies and the continuous evolving of civilizations that the appearance and behaviors of the human beings have too significantly changed. From the Stone Age till the Internet Age, people have always dressed and acted in a way that revealed their deep held values and attitudes. In Stone Age, the Cave Man depending on his primitive instinct believed that in order to survive and guarantee the safety of the other individuals, must take advantage of the surroundings to support his surviving. So, he hunted animals, an action that made to supply the group with food. He also dressed in the animals' fur to protect himself from the inclement weather. This proves that first human being had acted and dressed in a way that reflected their primitive thoughts. The Cave Man with his innate instinct was interested in satisfying his very basic needs. With the advancement of civilization, the needs of human beings has also increased and become more developed and demanding. The human beings are now dressing and behaving in a different way that distinctly reveals the uniqueness of each society. For example, if we examined the way in which the Kuwaiti people are dressed and acted, this would clearly reflect the values and beliefs of the people in this country. The people in Kuwait are noticed to dress in neat and dandy clothes. The ladies in Kuwait love to dress in expensive and stylish clothes. They are famous of their interest in tracking every fashion and are always searching for new styles and everything that has unique vogue. The men also are interested in having the newest styles of technological amenities. They are most interested in mobile phones and stylish vehicles. The appearance and behavior of Kuwaiti peoples strongly reflects their ideas and values. The Kuwaitis believe that they must enjoy there lives. They hold a deep idea that every individual must live a luxurious life. Their attitudes are reflected through the way in which they behave and act. When a Kuwaiti lady was interviewed in Oprah's Show- a famous American Show- she asserted that the Kuwaiti people hold a deep believe of they are ought to enjoy their lives and not to waste any moment in vain. On the contrary, the American Society is not paying any attention to stylish clothes or fashions. They are dressed in simple clothes and are unlike the Kuwaiti people, uninterested in expensive features. This behavior reveals the inborn features of the American Society which is represented in their practical thinking and attitudes. The American people believe that money is an important factor that mustn't be wasted in insignificant matters. Their values instigate them to believe that money is meant to secure their future life rather than wasting it in trivial things. Furthermore, the appearance and behavior of individuals of some tribes reveals their values and believes. Some tribes believe in superstitious matters. They believe of the powers of spirits and the anger of Gods. So, these tribes may be dressed in clothes and accessories that – in their belief – would protect them of from the spirits and evil soles. They also might adopt a behavior to satisfy the Gods by sacrificing animals or even individuals. This behavior and attitude reflect the deep values and of these tribes and reveal how much they are influenced by superstitions. To sum up, it is undeniable that the appearance and behavior of individuals can patently reflect their deep beliefs and attitudes. The way they look, dress or act can represent their innate behaviors and values. hi everybody, i'm sending a new issue ![]() any comments are welcome thanx ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I liked your example of Stone age... but example of Kuwait.. ummm.. not so much.. (Pls note that this is my view.. somebody else might like it)... you can give example of muslim ladies... they cover their face with a scarf... .. Overall its good.. but not so convincing... may be if you work on writing it differently to make it more convincing.. Good luck and keep writing.. |
