On one hand, it is admittedly that theway people dress, look and behavior can reveal the social ideology and valuesystem to a large extent. According to our common sense that people who usuallywear sports clothes like to do sports, and people who usually wear professionalsuit like to socialize with colleagues and friends. We need to consider nofurther than French people who like to wear characteristically, obviously theirromance and cultural diversity are revealed from the dressing; it is the samewith women in Arabic countries whose hood on head represents their conservativeand reserved attitude in public.
We can also witness the characters ofsocial value and ideas through people’s behaviors in daily life, even the mostordinary one---greeting.
When friends meet in America, they willtreat their friends with tremendous enthusiasm, greet passionately, smilebrightly and even with a big hug; while in England, people tend to be moreconventional and reserved, they stand away from their friends with distance,greet indifferently, with few smile on face and keep sound low; they repelintimate body contact and emphasize the individual privacy.
On the other hand, we need to considerthe inaccuracy of the information told by people’s dressing and actions forthey would be influenced by the personal rights, freedom as well as theinfluence from public opinion on their behaviors. The extent of democracy andliberty of a society can considerably affect people’s daily talks, looks anddress. In autocratic or thought-dominated society,…… A strikingexample is America……..Another factor we need to consider is the influence ofmainstream power on some non-mainstream thought which is also a indispensiblepart of social ideology.
People’s look, dress and action, in thefinal analysis, is the ostensible phenomenon of a society, only by discoveringthe profound essence, the customs, value systems, ideology and so forth, can wetruly understand more deeper of a society. History is one of the bestperspectives to further discover. History helps tocultivate our own distinctive cultural and national identity which is just likea brand, once entitled, can never be got rid of. Only by studying the historicalreasons of the contradiction in territory, politics and religion, can weunderstand the reason of intensive and permanent conflict between Israel andPalestine; only by learning the arduous and rough history in America, can weunderstand the advocacy of freedom and equality in modern society; only bylearning the geographic conditions around China --- Himalaya mountains,plateaus, grasslands and oceans which lead to the isolation andself-satisfaction of Chinese for thousands of years, can we understand thepolicy of closing the door to outside world and the miserable fate to becolonized in modern history. |
