Social Norms Of The Walls Of Nobles

The prominent reason behind the various overdone school rules regarding dress is the loose power that administrators have been given. They have been “reserve[d] the right to determine if a clothing item or accessory is appropriate for school” (Carroll High School Student Handbook 2010-2011 18). The officials at school are using their own personal opinions to judge the students’ dress. Since styles change as time goes on, the generation in control and the

In the article, “Appearances Are Destructive” by Mark Mathabane argues about how students in school do not focus on learning anymore, but mostly focus on their outfits. He agrees that by providing dress codes will be an effective way to maintain safety in schools. According to Mathabane, dress codes is a solution for students to get on track on their studies, but rather it will not be against freedom. In addition to that, Mathabane claims, that girls pay a lot of attention to their clothing because it gives them respect, to look more attractive, and they feel, they look cool. Mathabane disagree that outfits should be the primary goal for many students, instead of achieving academic success; therefore, dress code will be a solution to have

As a teenager, growing up tends to be a struggle for us. Most girls would say that fitting in is a huge deal. Nine times out of ten, finding that one outfit is difficult when you have all these rules. Dress code at school has been a battle between who can get away with it the most. An unknown author once said, “Self-confidence is the best outfit, rock it and own it.” This quote hit home for me in multiple ways. For starters, teenage girls are having trouble trying to be confident and when we have so many restrictions it is hard to feel comfortable in our own skin. With all these restrictions we feel as if we can’t express ourselves. On the other hand, the guys get away with almost everything when it comes to the dress code. I feel as

The narrator, who does not come from extreme wealth, privilege, or class has trouble dealing with his lack of social prominence. The school has an elite group of boys, which the narrator is not a member of, who are understood to “get a leg up from their famous names or great wealth”(3-4). Being a senior, the narrator has spent the past three years assimilating to the social customs of his school and adapting the attitude of the elite boys. He has recognized many normalities that some of his peers such as Purcell and George Kellogg live by. The boys have a constant laidback and relaxed attitude that is fostered because of their innate understanding of their wealth. They wear clothes loosely and without care and do not give much thought to their future. Additionally, through their class and wealth the elite boys are grouped together and bonded by what seems, as the narrator describes : “tribal tattoos”. This high class attitude of some of the students is ever present as the narrators says, “Class was a fact….His way of turning cold at the mention of money, or at the spectacle of ambition too nakedly revealed”(15). The narrator realizes that public school attitude and being on scholarship, like he is, are repugnant at his school. Rather than announce his perceived shortcomings, in social capital, the narrator is very quiet and abstains from showing his true self to his school.

In the memoir, The Glass Castle, the Walls family are known for not living in one place for an extremely long time. Just a few places that the Walls family lived were: Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Midland, Blythe and Battle Mountain. Jeannette Walls, the author, was most influenced by her time living in Battle Mountain. This is shown by the numerous experiences that she had with her family which changed who she was as a person and eventually formed her into the person and author she is today.

The author penned, “there’s also the disruption and humiliation that enforcing the attire rules can pose during school. Frequently, students are openly called out in the middle of class, told to leave and change, and sometimes, to go home and find a more appropriate outfit. In some instances, girls must wear brightly colored shirts that can exacerbate the embarrassment, emblazoned with words like, ‘Dress Code Violator’,”(Zhou).

In the feudal formation of the Middle Ages, the nobles who lived in the country add the king to protection in exchange for land. Peasants worked the land for the nobles, for which they accepted protection and their own small bundle of land. These backwoods peasants worked from sunrise to sundown, but even the nobles had few creature relief. In feudal cities, where there was a small middle-class population, life was a little easier and individuals had the freedom to go after whatever trade or industry they liked. In the late Middle Ages, when the threat of raid from wild had weakened, people left the country for towns and cities so they could employ in a more beneficial hunt.

Youngsters who pay more attention to fashion are less attentive to their studies and when it comes to devoting time to their academic career, they seem to be less concerned. This very

Security of the Political and Social Position of the Nobility in Early Modern Europe The nobility of early modern Europe were descended on the whole from the mounted knights of medieval armies who had been granted land along with social and political privileges and had subsequently formed a higher social class. Between 1500-1789 the status of the aristocracy came under threat both politically and socially. The rise of ‘absolutism’ within the monarchies of Europe led to the desire of governments to reduce noble power and bypass several of their privileges in order to increase state revenue and centralise governmental control. The growth of the middle classes and the destruction of the feudal system

What do you wear? Clothes obviously, but look more into it. Look at it again.. the colors, the stitching between where the arms and torso meet. Look at the side where its folded, yet it’s still together, how does this happen? Let’s start from the beginning, the cavemen used clothes from their surroundings from leaves in trees to animal skin. Just as civilization grew, so did Americans. Americans industrialized to cotton, as Chinese did with silk and all of Europe with sheep's wool. With industrialization, the Fashion industry flourished throughout nations and world wide. Now, we use fashion as a form of entertainment, a way of expression, as well as a form of art. Why do some people still consider it as a lesser value of art? If Harmony is a diverse school, and has been instrumental in helping to inspire students, placing them in the nation's most prestigious colleges... why don't they expand their selections of colleges that could help students pursue their own career path and succeed in their own way?

We should know who their friends are, how they talk, and how they present themselves. We should also be aware of the message we are teaching our children about what is important to value and what is not worth fighting over. These young people are obviously living in a dream world as they talk down to those who wear a certain style of clothing, and even threaten to hurt them for dressing in a certain way. They, however, are dressing in a low-class style while dreaming of dressing in name brand luxury. What has pushed them to this? What makes the tag on the clothing so important that it is worth this sort of

Ivonne Serrano As a volunteer in a public middle school, it is not uncommon to hear complaints from parents and teachers about the way that some students dress. Precisely last week, a teacher was arguing with a parent about how “students think that dress code is a joke” because students are not obeying it. That comment made me realize that it is true, students do not respect the school dress policies any more, I have often seen many girls or boys wearing pajamas to school (not on pajama day) as if it was totally normal and young girls wearing clothes that only Instagram celebrities would wear for a photo shoot . But what can schools do about it? In my opinion, the fastest and simplest way to approach this issue is if all public schools, from kindergarten to high school, change the regulation of student’s attire and approved the use of uniforms. Two positive aspects of wearing school uniforms is that it will reduce the pressure induced by other kids opinions about their clothes and uniforms will also decrease the cost of clothing.

Young adolescents get distracted easily compared with the mature adults. Fancy goods always attract people by their fantastic look and bring them to the fashion side. Consequently, students would pay more of their attention to the latest fashion instead of their school work. Then the school work will not be done on time because majority of their time is spent on the fashion. Without paying attention and making great efforts, school work can only be abandoned eventually. However, like Walmsley emphasized, when public schools require their students to wear the mandatory uniform, students will not have any struggle about choosing what clothes to wear today and tomorrow. In other words, students will have more time spending on school work. Another point is that the purpose of students going to school is gaining knowledge and preparing for their future. Students learn how to dress formally as a student in school.

     Going to public schools all my life, I heard the gossip of "fashion" and "whose wearing what,"pretty much everyday; at least in the four years of high school where it seemed that looks mattered the most. As people grow up, the way they present themselves becomes more and more important. Leaving a good mark in high school means a lot to some people, and some are ready to do whatever it takes to make that mark, whether it be putting someone down for their clothing or being an individual and not caring what others think of you or what your wearing. Having friends from middle school that branched out and went the alternative route; private schools, one of the first things that came back

In a democratic society, people are free to choose what sort of dress they want, but the way we dress ourselves greatly depends on what the situation we are in. For instance, we put on evening suits when we present ourselves at a party of celebrities; on the field, we put on sports wear. Therefore, in elementary and secondary school, I suggest students should put on school uniform to give a consciousness to students that people should wear proper clothes in certain place in order to respect others. As Gilchrish said, "clothing is a way to show others that you have respect and consideration for the situation" (20).
