A person’s cultural beliefs and personality can well be defined through their type of dressing code.

She begins by acknowledging the fact that dress code is often given attention among specific communities while it is neglected in others. However, she highlights that it is undeniable ...

Affiliated Institution

Introduction In order to understand the cultural practices of other people and our own without being affected by ethnocentrism, we can use the guideline of cultural relativism. Cultural relativism is about understanding the cultural practices of other cultures by examining them from the contexts of those who practice them. Similarly, we can understand our cultural practices better by examining them from the context of others or outsiders. Ethnocentrism pushes a person to perceive his/her culture as superior to others, making it difficult to understand other cultures. This also makes it difficult to understand another culture from an emic perspective ...

If I were Jackman’s manager, I do not think I would have reacted in the same way unless there were multiple complaints from customers and even then I believe I would have discussed it with Jackman first prior to sending him home. It does sound as though Jackman’s manager overreacted in this situation because, while the kufi is not mandatory, Jackman wants to wear it as a part of his religious observance while also providing for his family. While it is in violation of the organization’s dress code, because it is a part of religious observance, ...

The implication that someone’s dress code and appearance has on a work opportunity is one that has always been a point of concern for most people. There has been a need to prove if the appearance can affect someone’s chances of getting a job. People should not be allowed to “judge a book by its cover,” however, when it comes to employment opportunities, the grooming of the potential candidate has to be considered because of the representation of the company’s image. A report presentation by the National Association of College and Educators (2016), reveals that grooming ...

Cognitive Dissonance Regarding Dress and Social Responsibility

Cognitive dissonance is defined as the mental stress which an individual experiences when they hold two or more contradictory beliefs simultaneously. When individuals experience levels of dissonance, they tend to be uncomfortable with the situation; most people tend to avoid situations that would result in any cognitive dissonance. Having grown up watching Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa being documented about their works to help improve the welfare of humanity, it grew into me that helping people should not be used as means to gain profitability in the market. However, as an intern in a multination company which practices social ...

Why do Muslim women cover their hair?

It is the commonly approved norm among the followers of Islam that a Muslim woman needs to cover-up her head and most part of her hair exposing just her face. This general norm is part of the general, accepted dress code and social practice norms which Islam preaches. This dress code suggestion is hence an integral fraction of the existing standard social system of Islam, and the materialization of significant common principles of Islam, that are applicable to all believers of Islam. Precisely, a modern, well-educated Muslim woman follows the norm about covering her hair because she prefers to ...

Abstract

The common notion of the use of uniforms in schools is that it impacts positively on student achievement through improved academic performance leading to a reduction in drop-out rates.

The research will determine the effect of uniforms on achievements by students in northern Florida in light of the increased number of schools adopting a mandatory school uniform policy. We will use stratified sampling ...

<Institution> A name, a face, or a symbol – tattoos come in many forms, shape, colors, and sizes. The process of tattooing is said to have started around 12,000 years B.C (“A Brief,” n.d.).

The two authors, therefore, discuss the lives of the young, black, Muslim women in an environment where the Muslims are a minority. Anaya uses examples of young female Muslim hip-hop artists to describe ...

Do Organizations have a Right to tell their Employees how to Dress or Groom?

Ordinarily, businesses are expected to hire their employees without discriminating against any applicant based on religious, gender, race, or disability grounds. However, there are cases where employers have been accused of rejecting applications from particular applicants on the same grounds. Despite the hullabaloo, organizations have a right to require their employees to dress or behave in a particular manner, especially when in the work environment. There are many reasons why organizations require their employees to use a certain dress code or grooming behavior. For example, an organization may require its employees to have a certain, official dress code when ...

Fashion is a general trend especially in dress code as well as behavior that is common among a particular group of people. Fashion falls under a wide range; accessories, furniture, body make ups among others. However, when one talks about fashion the first thought that comes to mind is all about clothing.

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 ...

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 ...

I agree with the solutions to the Dress Code Policy. I have been in workplaces where other employees did not follow the Dress Code Policy and it caused contention amongst other employees so I feel it is important to take proactive measures to ensure compliance. In the Case Study I agree that posting the Dress Code Policy in an eye catching place as a reminder is very effective. As well as dismissal if the employee fails to change their behavior after all other steps are exhausted. If you were the person who violates the Dress Code Policy, what would ...

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.

What are the implications?

Nowadays, there are a lot of people who are concerned about the way they look very much. The implications can be very different. There are different factors that can cause this phenomenon. The most significant one is for sure social factor. Almost in all spheres of our life, as in behavior, attitudes and preferences, also in clothing we strive for individuality, aim to please others.

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 ...
