Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People behave differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different clothes influence the way people behave? Use specific examples to support your answer.
My response:
It is believed all over the world that attire doesn’t influence the people’s conduct to others. But, when we give a close look to each person, that is not the case, so to speak generally, I believe that people behave differently when they wear different clothes.
First of all, with different accoutre comes different responsibilities. Police, army personal, doctors etc. have different uniforms. When they work, they wear their own uniforms with respect and they tend to behave like one. For example, my friend’s father is a police personal. During his non-working hours, he wears normal clothing, behaves very kindly and has a calm expression on his face. But, during working hours, he wears his uniform and without consciousness, he becomes strict and has a stern look on his face; just to indicate that he is a police personal and no one should mess around him.
In addition to different responsibilities, respect varies with different attire. For example, when I’m with friends I wear a casual wear and don’t give much concern to by conduct around them. But, when I wear white shirt or a suit, I start to give more importance to my behavior. This shows that, if a man wears a suit or white shirt, the society expects him to act like a gentleman. This makes most of the people to change the way they act when they wear such kinds of dress.
Finally, most people try to mimic the costumes of their favourite movie stars. Many people around the world tend to follow their favorite movie stars style of dressing. For example, my friend is a big fan of Rajanikanth, a Tamil actor in India. When he dresses like him, he tends to mimic of the character from Rajanikanth’s movie. This illustrates that dressing like their favourite hero makes them to behave like one of them.
To sum up, based upon the argument above, I’m of the opinion that with different clothing, the behavior of the people changes without their consciousness.
