...this essay you will find reasons why dress codes are difficult to follow upon female student. This essay will also explore some of the different controversial issues between schools and female students due to the dress code policy, and the different ways females use to fight back. School dress codes are more for females than males, because schools see women as distraction for males and others. Schools dress codes are messing with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gives the students the right to express themselves, without hurting others. We will see how females fight back on what they believe it is taking their freedom of speech and freedom to express their unique personalities. Fighting For Freedom Women like to express themselves through clothing, shoes, hair, make up and all kind of different accessories. Regardless of what color, religion, what body size or shape they have, females like to personalize their style using fashion and new trends. While parents drill on their female children the importance to love and feel comfortable with themselves no matter how they look. Schools portrays women as a “distraction” for men and others. They are constantly making changes to the school dressing codes, especially for female students from kindergarten to high school because of their natural sexuality. The rules in school dress codes are hard to understand which makes it difficult for the females to find clothing that is dress code appropriate...

...Dijon Miller Classification Essay 11MW 25 March 2013 The Jaguar Runway Every morning many students get out of bed asking the same question: “What am I gonna wear today?” First impressions mean everything in the world today and it makes finding the answer to this question is somewhat difficult. The campus is full of fully-dressed students that can be divided into three styles; the over-dresser, the casual dresser, and the anti-dresser. All of these styles can tell a lot about the type of students here at Southern University of Baton Rouge. The most noticeable of the three is the over-dresser and of course that is the way it is expected to be. They are the ones recognized right away; rocking the latest fashion that looks as though they came straight from the runway. The “designer” girls wear silk blouses, Calvin Klein jeans, and spiked, high-heeled shoes or boots. The guys wear Ralph Lauren shirts, jeans with a designer logo, and strands of gold showing at the neck of their shirt. Their choices of shoes lean toward the brand new Air Jordan’s or Nike Air Max. With the over-dresser it’s always about looking their best at any given moment; no matter if it is “Pretty Wednesday” or not. On Pretty Wednesday, everyone usually wears their business attire. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a guy in the cafeteria sporting a Giorgio Armani suit. People in this category like to have all eyes on them, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, we must be aware of those who let the...

...Baotran Tran English 101-81 Argument Essay School dress regulations emphasize on conservativeness with the intention of preserving and encouraging self-modesty. Yet, more and more students are finding themselves to be victims of unfair dress coding and public humiliation, surprisingly, from the staff itself. An example is a place near and dear to Sierra Vista’s very own teenage undergraduates: Buena High School. Many current students have not only witnessed but have claimed victim to unfair dress coding – the majority being female. Although Buena’s dress code claim to exist with good intentions, many instances of dress coding are seemingly executed with personal preference, unneeded hostility, and an abundance of sexism. Buena High School’s student handbook state and oppose the following: leggings, low-cut tops, straps smaller than a three-finger’s width, certain length skirts and shorts (they should be longer than the length of your fingers when you put your arms down to your side), and articles of clothing deemed to portray inappropriate acts, gangs, or images. In a general gist, the dress code is provided with reasonable guidelines and purpose. It is understandable that a dress code should be enforced in order to maintain individual decency. Overwhelmingly, most rules are especially catered against the female sex. The most controversial topic that females students argue against is the restriction of leggings – a form fitting garment made out of spandex, cotton, and...

...Paper Dress code has been the biggest topic between the Board officials and parents. There have been many decisions and arguments that were worked out by administration and local school, often at the request of parents. There should be a dress code for students for several reasons. Many public schools today are making dangerous decisions and these decisions may end up saving someone's life. The decisions are about school uniforms and dress codes. Public schools are beginning to open their eyes to the real world and see what their students are wearing and what the clothes are about. Some schools have banned any clothes with inappropriate symbols or sayings. Baggy wear is very dangerous. Schools are now even taking away the privilege of those clothes for the reason that weapons and other dangerous, illegal items may be smuggled in under loose pants, hats, shirts and jackets. The cost of maintaining a stylish wardrobe can be expensive. Many families have more important things to spend their money on than the image of school children. The dress code may be a way to keep the costs of school down for those families. In some schools, there has even been fighting or stealing based on expensive sneakers or jewelry. There are many clothes in fashion for boys and girls which are not appropriate for school dress. Good taste and common sense should dictate parental and student choice of school clothes. The school will determine what is not appropriate dress, even...

...Exemplification Essay How many times have you heard the saying “It’s not the clothes that makes the person, it’s the person that makes the person?” I know it’s a mouth full. And we’d all like to believe that, right? But unfortunately in today’s society that’s not the case. How you dress is a representation of you. Like a first impression and we all know you only get one. But exactly why does it matter? Why would anyone care about how I dress? Well that’s what where here to find out. In today’s world how you dress is a reflection of you. It defines how people will react or treat you. Possibly even stereotype & judge you. Luckily it all depends on the type of social situation you are in. If you dress appropriately for the right occasion you’ll have nothing to worry about. Let’s use me for an example. I went job hunting for the first time when I was 16. I didn’t know any better. I went to different stores in the mall wearing a pair of ripped up jeans with my American Eagle striped polo shirt and my most favorite pair of black and white low top Chuck Taylors. I felt like I could conquer the world, or at least the mall. I went to the mall around 2pm and left around 5pm with no job applications. I didn’t understand it, every store I went into had a “Now Hiring” sign, but I kept getting turned down. Soon my “conquer the world” attitude disappeared as I took the bus back home. When I got home my grandma asked me how the job search went. When I told her what happened she sat me...

...Dress Codes in Schools Com 220- Research Writing Some people believe that our schools should require their students to adapt to a dress code to improve student behavior, enhance students’ self-confidence and reduce differences among socioeconomic levels. Others may say that policies enforcing dress codes or requiring school uniforms violate students’ First Amendment rights and suppress individuality. The argument over school dress codes and school-uniform policies continue to rage in the meeting rooms, administrative officers, and classrooms of public schools throughout the country. School officials place dress code policies so there will be orderly dressing amongst the students’. Dress codes are important but they are troublesome at the same time. There is no one to police the dress code of the students when they arrive at school. And at the same time, the same dress code placed among the students should be the same as the educators. Schools should be a learning institution full of knowledge for young eager minds and not a meeting place for the latest fashion contest. Recent studies conducted in schools have shown that a fixed dress code does promote good behavior and helps students achieve higher test scores. However, parents have expressed concerns because their child or children are not being allowed to express who he or she truly is. Another issue that has many people worried throughout the United States is the rising cost of these uniforms...

...Expository Essay October-2-2011 Expository Essay Joe Chernov, public relations executive whose arms are inked from wrists to biceps with Asian-themed tattoos, applied for a position at a conservative company, where he was given a chance for an interview. Upon this interview he decided to wear a long cuffed shirt which he usually would not wear as it ended up showing part of his tattoo on his wrist. He didn’t get the job even though he was more than qualified for the position he had applied for, it could be questioned if the tattoos had anything to do with this decision made by the interviewing company (Pyrillis, 2010). Although people have tattoos and body piercings in a workplace their performance while working should matter not their appearance. With that in mind it can be viewed that tattoos and body piercings in a workplace or during a hiring process can make speculations of unfair judgment against potential employees, since it can be argued that the interviewer bases their opinion of the candidate with the tattoos or piercings work off of their appearance versus their work history, performance, and work ethics. Many persons feel as though it is necessary to cover up any tattoos or piercings while in their workplace. One example would be a survey of two thousand twenty people was taken where sixty eight percent of men and seventy two percent of women felt it necessary to cover up their tattoos and/or piercings in the workplace (Pyrillis...

...Argumentative Essay Beautiful Is Good In today’s Western society, the bias of “beauty is goodness” is predominantly found throughout the hiring sector. This term encompasses the belief that being physically attractive improves one’s chances of obtaining a job or being accepted into an organization or institution. This in itself is an example of the halo effect, a term used by social scientist to describe the act of making a positive presumption about an individual based on only one positive trait. This essay will focus on the distribution of the halo effect based on beauty. This is evident not only based on my personal experiences and literature I have read upon the subject, but also on popular culture. I will examine examples of said experience, an essay by Comila Shahani-Denning and an analysis of the popular film “The Devil Wears Prada” to support the concept of “beauty is goodness”. Comila Shahani-Denning’s essay, titled “Physical Attractiveness Bias in Hiring: Beautiful Is Good”, argues that, based on research conducted by various institutions, being beautiful generally improves one’s chances of getting a job in most situations. Citing studies conducted by Elroy & DeCarol, Watsking and Jonhston and Heilman & Stopeck, she concludes that there is enough empirical evidence that physical attractiveness impacts employment making decisions. However, she acknowledges that this does not hold true for all jobs. Utilizing the term “Beauty is Beastly”, coined by Heilman...

...There Be Dress Codes In Junior High And High Schools? Name: Institution: Should There Be Dress Codes In Junior High And High Schools? Introduction The dress code for junior and high schools has been a hot debate over the years. It has sought to address various issues and have resulted in different levels of controversy. For instance, in the early 1970s boys with long hair sometimes got attracted to their classmates. Resultantly, schools required young men to cut their hair short. Moreover, at the beginning of the 1990s several organizations and parents pushed for a dress code as a strategy to curb gang-related violence (Valdez, 2015). Over the years, the desire to create a professional school environment and reduce struggle over designer clothes made uniforms and dress codes become a familiar topic. However, identical strategies are more restrictive than dress code policies. Dress codes are strict as in the case of schools in California and Napa. For instance, schools in this areas required students to put on solid colors and logos or banned images on clothes. The primary objective of this argumentative essay is to provide adequate evidence that there should be dress codes in both junior and high schools. Claim 1: dress code may increase student safety and reduce crime. Each year several schools adopt a certain form of dress code. Although some challenges are emerging on the constitutionality, court’s rulings have supported dress codes...

...Winnie Wong Writing 140 Maggie Flynn 4th October 2012 Assignment #2 Most Effective Essay: “SlutWalks and the Future of Feminism.” by Jessica Valenti Slut. This attention-grabbing noun is used throughout the world in the continuing feminist protest that has started since May 2011: Slutwalks. It all began when Michael Sanguinetti, a Toronto police constable, made a statement on how women should not “dress like sluts” in order to be safe from being sexually assaulted at a safety forum in Osgoode Hall Law School on January 24th 2011. His words infuriated many, and Sonya Barnett and Heather Jarvis, Co-founders of Slutwalk Toronto, decided to take action to disaffirm the victim-blaming claim. Originally expected to be a small-scale protest, Slutwalk drew attention and became a worldwide phenomenon, which also triggered both positive and negative responses; Jessica Valenti, Gail Dines, Wendy J Murphy and Keli Goff all published articles to express their opinions. Valenti supported Slutwalk in her essay, “Slutwalks and the Future of Feminism,” whereas Dines and Murphy’s “SlutWalk is not sexual liberation” and Goff ‘s “Dear feminists, Will You Also Be Marching In N***erwalk? Because I Won’t.” opposed it. These writers are all famous feminists; Dines is a seasoned professor and author, while Valenti and Goff are new feminist bloggers who are described as “the pioneer in bringing feminist action online” and “a breath of fresh air,” respectively. Although all of these writers...

...looks but that’s exactly what they do. In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton has a great way of showing this. In this essay I will be explaining that appearance can mean everything. Most people look at what a person is wearing atomically assume. This is showed in the beginning of the novel The Outsiders Ponyboy, the narrator, is describing how the people he knows look like. An example of this is when Ponyboy says “we wear our hair long and dress in blue jeans and T-shits, or leave our shirttails out and wear leather jackets and tennis shoes or boots”(3). Ponyboy is trying to say that they dress like that because that’s how they know to dress, they grew up dressing like that. He uses the word “we” to show us that when people see someone dressed like that they assume that their greasers. Another example is when a Socs say “we’re gonna cut all that greasy hair off” (5). The Socs is trying to say that Ponyboy's hair shouldn’t be like that. So as we can see people judge who you are by the way you dress even if they don’t know you....
