Essays on Dress Code

What is meant by business casual or corporate casual. How should you dress for interviews?

Over the recent years, many firms have instituted business or corporate casual dress code, and invitations to corporate functions often give suggestions on the type of clothing guests should wear. The term is somehow vague, however, and sometimes leads to pervasive confusion. Even though it clearly differentiates itself from business formal wear, which suggests a tailored suit and tie, it should not be confused with casual wear such as a t-shirt and jeans. Business or corporate casual refers to a type of office clothing style or dress code that is more casual than the traditional business wear (Ciletti, 2010). Many businesses have ...

Corporate companies that have traditionally employed a certain type of ethnic group for decades will develop a corporate culture based on that ethnic group.

Those with natural hair that is different from others are expected to put on artificial hairstyle that fit with the rest. However, if a person chose not to change his/her hairstyle so as to blend with ...

Burka refers to a long, loose, usually black or light blue garment that covers the whole body and is usually worn in public by Muslim women. It is made up of the loose body covering, the face veil and the head covering. Its initial purpose was to keep the blowing sand out of women’s faces when travelling through the desert.

At present time in many countries school uniform is mandatory. A good example of such countries is South Korea and Japan. In other countries, including the United States of America, the situation is quite different and school uniform is mandatory mainly in private schools. However, the question about necessity of school uniform is often raised by the leading policymakers. It is remarkable that this is one of the most disputable questions related to school system. In general, members of society are divided into two groups: proponents and opponents of school uniform. While the first group of people believes ...

Part 1: View and Analysis

In the context of the second slide, it is evident that the level of professionalism is not as high. For instance, one of the medical practitioners in the image is wearing a suit. Although suits might be professional in other areas, they are an unacceptable set of attire while within the hospital. As such, a person wearing a suit is expected to hang his or her coat and put on a lab coat as a way to ensure that he or she will be easily identified by the patients and other medical practitioners. As such, being dressed in uniform or hospital attire is a key ...

SUMMARY OF EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS

Working Hours, Wages, Overtime & Incentive Pay The standard working day and week is generally an 8-hour day and a 40-hour week. There are a number of exceptions, such as in certain industries (construction, agriculture, fisheries, etc.), workers who set their own hours and earn more than double the average industrial wage, workers who “perform management functions primarily”. There is a conventional, societal distinction between wage-earners and salaried workers, however, for the purposes of calculating pay (e.g., for overtime, vacation, termination, etc.), a weekly salary is effectively divided by 40 in order to determine the de facto hourly wage. Overtime (of 150%) is ...

The Miniskirt

The origin of the miniskirt lies in the heart of the so called Swinging London of the 1960s. Mary Quant, a dressmaker who sold her own fashionable, and desired, designs from a store in the London district of Chelsea can be regarded as the creator of the (twentieth- century) miniskirt. Because of her privileged spot within the London fashion district and her grasp of how to connect to a mass audience (instead of relying on the ‘old’ trickle-down effect), her creation – that started out as simple street fashion – turned out to be an international fasion style. It was picked up by famous ...

The live music piece I attended took place in a music hall. It was brightly lit, and of ample size, with a stage that allotted for more than what was necessary for the small amount of players, ranging from brass to woodwind instruments. The audience was quiet and respectful, though it appeared that they shared the same responses as I did, ranging from contemplative to irritated, throughout the piece. The audience, as well as myself, were dressed in casually formal attire, as if we were attending a school recital or a semi-fancy restaurant. They did not seem generally enthused by the piece of ...

There are various features that describe the flappers form the 1920’s. Before the Roaring Twenties, women were wearing long dresses that covered their legs and arms.

It is difficult to defend Tom’s statement that candidates can be discriminated against based on physical appearance. Although it is in general true that people “naturally” favor more attractive people, when it comes to a business, hiring, legal, or similar situation, discrimination should not be tolerated because attractiveness is highly subjective. It is easy to imagine situations in which appearance affects a candidate’s hiring prospects in ways that are natural but unethical and discriminatory. The obvious example is in a hiring situation in which an under-qualified but better-looking person is hired over a less-attractive but well-qualified candidate. A friend once related a ...

It is not a secret that professional appearance inspires respect and is conducive to business communication. According to Chaney & Martin (2007), “First impressions are often lasting impressions; research shows that 55 percent of this first impression is based on appearance” (p.28). Looking at overall appearance people often decide whether or not they like you and will do business with you. At subconscious level this comes within 5 seconds of the first encounter. Appropriate business dress, hygiene and grooming describe your attitude to work, professionalism, preparedness, intelligence and self-confidence. Companies have policies that regulate professional appearance in their workplace. The following ...
