“Dress & Behavior”

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.
===================================

I am in total agreement with the fact that people behave differently in different dresses. Dressing has an influence on an individual’s attitude and behavior.

After the days tiring job when one reaches home he or she immediately changes the clothes to casual home wear. This gives a feel to the person that one is now not on the job and the he or she is free from binding of stringent norms of the work place. If one does not change the dress he or she would not feel as comfortable and shall not be able to enjoy the home life. Conversely one may not be comfortable on the job in home casual wears.

For example Forces like Air Force, Navel Force, Police Force, Military and many other have strict uniform code. Soldiers when in uniform are very highly enthusiastic about performance of their duty and to meet with any difficult situation that may arise. Uniform dress induces feeling of oneness and unity that is why uniforms are used in forces, school and colleges.

Second example is that of an Indian wedding. The man is dressed like ancient Kings and addressed as “Dulhe Raja” where Raja stands for the Emperor or a King. Likewise the bride is dressed as the Queen and addressed as “Bahu Rani” where Rani Stands for Queen. During the entire wedding process the bride and groom feel no less than the King and the Queen. These kingly and queenly behaviors are attributable to their wedding costumes and dress.

In nutshell clothing has a great impact on the behaviors of an individual.
