TOPIC: ISSUE208 - "The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people."
Nowadays, Individuals live in a society with high productivity, provisioning abundant consumption goods. Also, as modern society becomes more and more plural and open, people are allowed to choose what they want according to their own attitudes and interests without interruptions, more or less indicating the general social respects towards individual’s will and freedom. Based on it, the statement above has correctly identify the relationship between the way people look, dress and act and their attitudes or interests, and the relationship between a society's ideas and values and its people's appearance and behavior.
Indeed, the way a person how to dress himself/herself, how to look like and how to behave in a society will conceal(这里这个conceal 是不是用的有问题?) his/her attitudes and interests. For instance if a young man wears T-shirt, sneaker everyday and has an extraordinary preference on jeans with exaggerating holes, then he is obviously different from others same age people, who always in common white shirt fixed with smooth ties and a pair of old-fashioned leather shoes. It is accordingly to reason that the former man is more interested in fashion and has a more causal life attitude, at least comparing with the latter one. More importantly, all too often we have observed that how some people act in a controversial way from other people will act. For instance, many old people in China are too afraid to take a fight due to frequent air crashes reported on Television,(前后似乎没有什么联系啊) their entertainment are something as getting together with couple of friends to have a unpressured talk. However the younger generation are eager at seeking for challenge , they get excited about jumping from a 200 meter high tower with a single flexible rope, and they save time to go outdoors, hiking or climbing. The way of treating danger and challenge varies distinguishingly between the two generation clearly speaks they have different attitudes and interests.(这段里的论述都是在证明人的衣服可以显示人的爱好,但并没有论证look和act可以反映人的爱后和想法,和topic sentence 不符)
Nevertheless, what we should consider is a undeniable fact that people in most cases are required to dress, look and act, which certainly cannot reflect people's true thoughts. Society are abound of such examples. In companies, employees are required to dress monotonous uniform in order to present a unity image of the company, though many of them prefer colorful causal(什么意思) clothes. It is the same that during work time, they all incline to keep professional smile, immediately and skillfully handle every cases, even these are disgusting them occasionally. In conclusion, people with different jobs have different clothing demands, white doctors, long hair rock and roll singers, are all typical images of certain group of people.(这段就举了例子,似乎什么都没论证)
As mentioned above, it is admitted that present individuals are capable of dressing themselves according to their wills, and they are willing to behave conventionally and originally during their leisure time only they desire.(上面的论据是作者自己假设的,在没有正面这个假设合理之前,不能用它来证明下面的话) I believe these phenomena rightly represent the value of today's society, which has changed dramatically to the extent of that individual wills and freedom are respected and protected. Besides it is individuals that make up society, so there is sufficient reasons to believe that their appearance and behavior can probably show the society's values and ideas. In ancient China, people lived carefully and barely dream(不懂) because that society was controlled by a despotic empire. Unlikely, citizens in Republic of China are fulfilled with passion and dream and they insist thriving to make dreams come true(这句有点中式英语). However, there are some efforts should take to precisely learn the picture of society, for which is an issue so complex and complicated that without sufficient examination we are easily misunderstand it. Hence, together with the observing the appearance and behavior of its people, carefully learning the history and current culture, which mainly contained in art works, literature and theories, of a society are indispensible to take into account. Only by these means can we obtain a better and more correct understanding about the society we live in.
In a nutshell, it is a good way to get insights of individuals' attitude and personal interests by looking their behavior and dressing style, and it is also an excellent method to clarify an abstract society by observing its people’s specific appearance and action. However, what should bear in mind is that simple dependence on it are not enough to totally understand a person and a society. |
