Introduction Have you ever wondered why companies make their employees wear a specific uniform or wear a specific style of pant and shirt? Well, there are many reasons why; one, the company may use their uniform as part of their organization’s colors. This allows the employee to feel they are part of the organization and it allows the consumer to identify a company purely from the colors on a uniform. Just within the past year, a sitcom television show called Superstore. Those who watch this sitcom, quickly realizes how those who wrote the scripts and chose the actors’ clothing did so to poke fun directly towards Wal-Mart. Additionally, a person’s physical appearance, such as piercings, tattoos, and hair styles are all ways others associate them as a good or bad person, and clothing is no exception. Whether it is in a business setting, a restaurant, or even a doctor’s office, a person’s perception towards another is determined by initial contact. Despite a single office or profession; employers need to consider a dress code to ensure the safety of all employees. Moreover, some employees do not direct a dress code as a way to save operational costs, while some provide the employees with a shirt and the employee must wear a specific type and color of pant. Sure, the dress code for employees can be unattractive, however, the employer is not paying the person to look good or seek a partner. Employers need to explain the reason the companies’ uniforms are designed and
Never once was there a time that I walked down the hallways at school without hearing at least one kid get picked on about their clothes. Everyone knew the popular kids from the weird kids, the rich from the poor, and the nerds from the jocks based on their clothing alone. Our school was divided into social groups because of clothing types. Then we got school uniforms. Once we got them, the school became more peaceful. No one got picked on because of their clothes; that was because we all dressed the same. The amount of bullying went down and the sense of kindness soon began to fill the school. The utilization of school uniforms in public schools creates many benefits for students.
What people wear is very important because it does only effect a person at an personal level, but it also has a strong impact on the surrounding individuals or the society at large. Even with such knowledge, there has been increased debate about whether wearing of uniforms only add up to authoritarianism at school and makes the learners feel dictated upon (Yeneyama 124) or it is useful and should be upheld. What learners and those opposed to uniforms probably do not know is that, school uniform increases discipline, heightens levels of learning and conforms the student to the school rules, which then improves performance. Again, school uniform acts as a means through which young people can be protected from gangs especially because some gang attires can easily be infused into the common dressing trends leading to insecurity of the learner (NBC News.com n.p). In this discussion, the study looks into some of the articles that have been written over this subject and through these information, an understanding as to why school uniforms are important is thus unveiled.
When working at Wal-Mart in Minneapolis, Ehrenreich, and her co-workers, have a very strict dress code. “No nose or other facial jewelry, we learn; earrings must be small and discreet, not dangling; no blue jeans except on Friday, and then you have to pay $1 for the privilege of wearing them” (145). Uniformity is clearly happening here. Employees are forced to look presentable in Wal-Mart’s opinion of presentable.
When it comes to dress code, every individual has a different viewpoint for its implementation. There are clothes that could be fashionable to one person but seen as offensive to another. A dress code can be justifiable when put into a situation that really does require certain attire to be worn. It gives a sense of formality and distinguishes an individual apart from a group. This report seeks to compare and contrast the characteristics of school dress codes with that of dress codes in the workplace.
I will prove that every school should have school uniforms.first off,school uniforms help improve focus.also,the grade point average of most students.lastly,helps stops bullying.Why my debate matters.
Vanessa Friedman stated in New York Times 2016, “Dress code issues have become a cause that resonates far beyond the borders of whatever institution of industry is in question, and one that unites people across political parties and national borders”. In other words dress code issues have had a long history of controversy, because they remain so important and specific for multiple occasions. In this essay I will focus on the controversy that asks “are dress codes in the workplace imposed unfairly on women?” I will discuss both sides of this argument, and my stance on this issue.
Many businesses in Ontario have applied dress codes in their workplaces that employees must follow. The issue of having employees ‘dressing too sexy’ for work maybe an issue to some employers. This is why it is important to look at how important the dress code is in a business and how workers may feel about the dress codes that are set. This paper will discuss whether some dress codes are set to be too sexy for work by looking at the laws that are set in provinces throughout Canada and Ontario. Also looking at cases and financial implications will help to see how this issues impacts the workplace.
Men have often mirrored each other with wearing the same color suits. IBM was good with this concept as they required all employees to wear navy blue suits – both men and women. It became their “preference” and their “identity.”
Though it is understandable to want to implement a dress code, despite the censorship being implied by this very notion, there is a certain way that all employers want their job to look like; furthermore, certain jobs require attire for safety reasons and for identification purposes. For instance a police officer must wear his uniform with badge and gear so he is easily identifiable to the public in the case of an emergency. A fire fighter is the same way, but their uniform is also built for going into fires to save individuals. The discrimination needs to stop
Your appearance can also represent a part of your country, it can represent your countries history, its trials and tribulations, discipline, the wars it’s been through and the amount of men and women who lost their lives trying to defend it. The military and armed services have a particular way of displaying their respect for their country, through a uniform. Around the world many different countries wear uniforms that tell the story of their country and how it came to be without using words, the U.S. in particular we take the appearance aspect of the military quite serious, everyone must look the same and wear the uniform in a correct manner, and any other manner is seen as pure disrespect to the men and women who fought and died in the
In today’s society it is normal for business leaders to create a dress code for their employees; however, some people wonder if dress codes should still be required or if we should just completely get rid of them. There have been several debates about whether dress codes are needed or not, but there are many pros and cons to having them. In my opinion dress codes shouldn’t be required because employees will be more comfortable, employees will be able to express themselves and show creativity, and some employees are not able to buy the required clothes for their job. A reason why dress codes shouldn’t be required is that employees would be more comfortable without them. Most employees are more comfortable wearing clothes they like and as a result are more productive.
There are many reasons that uniforms are bad. First when schools buy uniforms it affects kids actions and behavior. Second, schools could be using the money for the kids education. Next some kids don’t like to wear uniforms for health reasons.In the end, uniforms are bad for kids acoriding to debate.org, and procon.org.
There’s a trend that is making it difficult to get a job for a certain company. Companies now-a-days are mainly hiring people based on their looks, attractive people who fit a certain image such as Abercrombie & Fitch. There are many ways to make money. Greenhouse, in his article, “Going for the Look, but Risking Discrimination,” shows that some stores hire people who fit the company image. While many people will argue that hiring based on looks is discriminating, this trend seems to be working at the moment and is making a lot of money for companies.
For example, airplane pilots, police officers, and bank vice presidents all dress a certain way, and not because it is comfortable. Imagine how comfortable you would feel the next time you take a flight and your pilot walks onboard with a faded T-shirt, ripped-up jeans and flip flops. Would you rather have the pilot in the black tie, stripes on his or her shoulders, and the cool hat? Be honest. Whether it is right or wrong, first impressions
Today in the workplace, the attire that people wear has become more varied and diverse. In the past businesses has followed strict policy on what is acceptable for employees to wear. The times have changed, although the dress code is not completely different there is still some differences.
