...and gang violence. Students start focusing on their looks instead of their school work, but now with dress codes they help students concentrate on learning and not on their appearance. Dress codes help reduce the smuggling of weapons because most codes restrict baggy clothes. The students will also be ready for future jobs that will require them to wear a uniform because they have been wearing uniforms their whole academic life. Have you ever gone to a school and seen tank tops and baggy clothes there and then went to another school with students wearing uniforms? What was your first impression of the schools? Uniforms on student’s helps the school look organized and makes the students look very mature. The impression you might get of the students is that they get straight A’s in their classes. Students that wear tank tops and other such clothes do not look very mature and might not be the best group of kids to hang out with. There is no one wearing baggy pants or even skinny jeans because of the dress code policies in the school and that helps students to follow future dress codes for future jobs. Dress codes are guidelines to life; they help students look professional and at the same time look like responsible young adults. Cliques are everywhere at school. There are the jocks, nerds, band geeks and every other group that you can think of. With dress codes, cliques at schools could be reduced because everyone is wearing the same thing. There is no exclusion of any kind because...

...school students to wear uniforms. My arguments would be that wearing uniforms, I could restrict students from their freedom of expression, meaning that students could loose their constitutional rights of speech and expression when entering the school doors. School uniforms promote everyone to be alike instead of promoting individuality meaning at a time when schools are encouraging an appreciation of diversity, enforcing standardized dress sends a contradictory message. Most public schools that has uniforms are place are in bad economic neighborhoods take away from the real issues at school. Meaning most public schools with uniform policies are in poor neighborhoods, emphasizing the class distinctions that uniforms were supposed to eliminate. Uniforms have an effect on self-image I believe when students have to wear the same outfits, rather than being allowed to select clothes that suit their body types, they can suffer embarrassment at school. Also students would rather not have uniforms. Pamela then began to explain her side and said that what I said is true. They are also very popular in private and Catholic Schools so the environment could be a perception of how the school addresses the issue. This can take away from individuality but also sets standards and guidelines for children to abide by. The importance of wearing the uniforms should be the value and the lesson that it teaches not the appearance of the child. Children that have to wear uniforms complain because it is...

...AN ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS CASUAL DRESS CODES Renee Kare Oke November 24, 2015 Establishing corporate business casual dress codes requires both sensitivity and awareness of all the legal ramifications that such codes bring with them. Factors such as whether or not a job requires a uniform or requires certain attire for safety reasons can be extremely important in setting a dress code policy and in being able enforce it. Establishing guidelines A policy manual should include all specifications regarding dress codes, including the more relaxed dress code known as business casual. If your company’s policy manual does not precisely define what is considered “acceptable” business code standards have been lowered due to vague guidelines, you will have a much more difficult time enforcing any guidelines later. EMPLOYEES RESPONSIVENESS If employees are convince that their image and dress directly affect the company’s bottom line, they are more likely to be motivated to adhere to stricter dress code guidelines. If they know that a specified workday, such as a Friday, can be a day to relax their dress, they might consider it a reasonable trade-off to the stricter guidelines enforced during the other workdays. A professional image consultant from Dress for Success Inc. could conduct some workshops to educate employees regarding the importance of professionally even when the standard is business casual. POTENTIAL RESULTS If you decide to adopt a business casual dress code in the spring...

...Professional Dress Code in the Workplace Rosaura P Bernal EN 306 – Nadia H Morales Park University The first impression is a lasting impression whether it is at the office, a party, a lunch date or an interview. What you wear to these events can be either a positive impression or a negative one. That is why I think it is very necessary to have a professional dress code in the workplace if your place of employment is that of a professional setting such as a bank or even an insurance company. If the professionalism does not show on what the employees are wearing, how are their customers going to accept that they are professionals at what they do. The business could lose the credibility of how they handle their business. Nowadays, offices are more lax with the trending fashions but do not realize that by letting their employees dress as they do now, they may be losing business. Managers should emphasize on the professional dress code so that the business will look more professional, they won’t lose customers or any business relationships they have with vendors and also so that they can avoid any type of controversy or altercations within the company. When new customers come into the place of business of a professional they expect to see the employees dress the part of that qualified, skilled employee who will be taking care of their business. Dressing professionally shows the level of sophistication that they hold and can affect the credibility of the business. I...

Dress code / uniform policy Terms of Reference Mr. Paul Chaves, the current Manager of SK Products and future local Manager of T-4 Telecom, asked to write a report on staff views about the possible introduction of Dress code policy. The report should be presented to Members of Operations Committee. Procedure I was asked to make a local research in our company SK Products (in future part of a large multi-national company T-4 Telecoms) about the dress code policy. As any decision should be discussed with the staff of the company, 4 questions were put to the current staff : 1. Would you be in favour of our branch introducing a uniform for staff? 2. Would you be in favour of our branch introducing a dress code for staff? 3. If a uniform was introduced, would you consider leaving the company? 4. If a dress code was introduced, would you consider leaving the company?

June 29, 2008 Roles and responsibilities of public and private policing 2 Abstract There is a direct relationship between public and private policing. As time change and with technology growing deterring crime does not rest only in the hands of public policing alone. Private policing is bridging the gap with public policing by assisting and deterring crimes via of prevention. Private policing comes in many forms to due to the advancement of technology when assisting the public police by hindering the act of crime. This paper will compare and contrast the roles and responsibilities of public and private policing. Roles and responsibilities of public and private policing 3 “The Baltimore County Police and Private Security Association was formed in 1987 in an effort to improve the relationship between the police department and private sector. By establishing lines of communications with organizations that share a common interest, a united front can be mounted to prevent crime in Baltimore County.” (Baltimore Co Police, 2008) In the past years there has been a negative stigma between public and private policing. Police officers encouraged these thoughts by using or speaking unethically when assisting private security with an arrest or investigating a crime. Over a period...

...Analysis of The Uniform Approach Works Schools standards have for a long time been declining and Elspeth Insch sees it as a vicious circle when a school has a bad reputation. In the article The uniform approach works by Mary Braid from The Summer times the 11th July, 2004. Elspeth Insch is showing three aspects, which could do a good part of improving the standards of the schools, but also to make the school self-govern and to improve the teaching and the teachers. Elspeth Insch is operating on a problem which Insch makes quite clear: declining of schools standards. Insch is a head herself so this problem is very relevant. She opens the article with this topic, followed by her own meaning of how to push up the standards by introducing the three aspects: school uniforms, competitive sports and a better house system, which she has used at her own school: King Edward VI Handsworth School in Birmingham, and has had positive effects on the students. Insch thinks that introducing uniforms would make every student equal and there would be no such thing as fashion competition. Insch believes that a uniform is a social leveller and a symbolic aspect, because it makes an air of business and high standards. * Then she is arguing for each aspect. * In the ending she shais that the real problem is a lack of good theachers, and she says that her suggestions is only cosmetic and the real problem lies in the teachers, and it is not enough that the goverment has improved teachers...

...The cons of enforcing a student to wear uniforms to school: When children are young they grow and develop their minds, their personalities, express that of who they are. They become individuals of their own person and what their interest is. Enforcing a child to wear a uniform this takes away their creativity of self-expression and who they are. We want to teach them that everybody is different and they are to accept those that are different from themselves. This cannot be done when every student is wearing the same thing. We cannot teach them to accept others that may be interested and self-express themselves such as one student may want to wear basketball shorts and t-shirt’s showing that he is into sports while another may want to wear dress pants, shirt and a tie to express that he is more mature and wants to pose a professional look onto himself. Students can also lose focus on their education where they will be seeking other outlets for self-expression and individuality such as tattoos, pierces, unacceptable hair styles and colors. Uniforms can also create a financial burden to families that may not be able to afford the required clothing when they can go to a Goodwill or thrift store and buy gently used items for their children to wear or even get hand me downs to clothe their child. If schools require certain colors this can also make them targets for hazing from other schools, this puts their lives into danger as well. Schools should want to push students to be individuals...

...Case Application 1 Done by Zhalgasova Korkem FIT 4th year (Tue 17.00-17.50) Checked by Sailybaev Almas Global Stumble 1. What obvious cultural differences between Nomura and Lehman do you see in this situation? Nomura is Japanese company and Lehman is American company, so these are two exactly different nationalities. Consequently, we can see here many cultural differences. For example, during Nomura’s initial training session for new workers, the men and women were separated. The women who were educated in prestigious universities like Harvard were taught how to choose clothes for job according to the season. The company’s dress code was strictly interpreted for women. Women from Lehman were told to remove highlights from their hair, to wear sleeves no shorter than mid-bicep, and to avoid brightly colored clothing. Several women were sent home to change their clothes. A Nomura’s authorities said that the dress code is displayed on the company’s intranet and is intended to ensure that clients and colleagues don’t feel uncomfortable. In my opinion, to sum up, some of the obvious differences that exist regard the treatment of females in the workplace, the degree of centralization and decision making...

...A debate of whether students should wear uniform to school has been in process for years. Students savor the freedom of no compulsion on uniform but are unsuccessful in recognizing the abundant advantages of wearing uniform. I fervently believe that students should wear uniform to school as it promotes discipline and discourages the rise of social conflicts. An evident advantage of school uniform is that students are able to focus more on their studies. In schools where uniform is not present, students spend much of their time choosing their clothes and getting dressed. Their focus is deflected off their studies and as a result, they suffer academically. Many students have also proven to suffer mentally. A large amount of kids are uncomfortable with their bodies and feel much more comfortable and relaxed in a loose uniform. Schools without uniforms also facilitate the progression of the feeling of inequality among students. The underprivileged students are easily distinguished from the well-off ones and thus the underprivileged students start feeling inferior to the rest. This also makes them more vulnerable subjects for mockery. In sheer distress, some students might even turn to drugs and alcohol. Thus, when school uniform is present, students are relieved of all such pressures and perform better. School uniforms are also a symbol of obedience, discipline and tidiness. The school is after all a place of learning and there is no need of fancy dressing at school. Students...

...low pants are fine for after school, but not for the classroom. T-shirts with risky images or profanity may be offensive to certain groups. Students should espress themselves through art or creative writing, not clothing. With fewer distractions, students can concentrate on getting a good education which can help them later on. Another benefit of having a dress code is that it will prepare students to dress properly for different places. When you go to a party you do not wear the same clothes you wear to church. Likewise, when you dress for work you do not wear the same clothes you wear at the beach. Many professions even require uniforms. Having a dress code in high school will help students adjust to the real world. Lastly, with all the peer pressure in school, many students worry about fitting in. If a dress code (or even uniforms) were required, there would be less emphasis on how you look, and more emphasis on learning. In conclusion, there are many important reasons our schools should adopt dress codes. Getting an education is hard enough...
