The speaker generalizes unfairly that the way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests and the society’s ideas and values as well. From my perspective, this statement is ex parte for the appearance and behavior of a society’s people can not be the sole consideration when judging the society’s value.
No doubt, today’s popular globalization makes it possible that nearly everything is to have no national boundary, even truth in culture. Globalization draws near our distances. Thanks to the creation of hair tint, everyone can wear a colored hair as he/she likes, which disenabled us to judge a person’s nationality by his/her hair color. Owing to the development of communication systems, we can be informed of the fresh fashion trends sweeping across the globe and dress the fashionable skirts of all kinds of styles, never seeking the traditional folk costume at the bottom of our wardrobes until some anniversaries of important traditional events, thus making it hard to see some ethical traditional dress on the streets. Due to the inventions of ball-point pens and gel-ink pens, the Chinese brush and the goose pen are all history and can hardly been seen in today’s work environment. As a result, the way people look, dress, and act tends to be same under the effect of globalization and such outward form alone can never be the only criterion to the judging of a society’s value.
Admittedly, the ideas and values of a society could be told by the appearance and behavior of its people to some extent. One interesting thing was once spread among the experienced American tourists: when they are on an air plane in Europe, they can easily determine which passengers are from Germany, Sweden, or the Switzerland by observing the passengers’ behavior. They conclude this as a rule that a passenger who looks at the watch when the plane takes off and check the time for the second time when the plane lands is certainly a man from those European coutries because their punctuality are well-known. However, in some Asian countries, people pay less attention to the time. As a result, different societies own their ideas and values on “time”, which can be apparently seen on the behavior of its people.
Nevertheless, even presenting a reflecting of society's ideas and values to some extent, one cannot rule out the existing of the individual difference. When growing up, people may form their own unique attitude and interest which is influenced by what they sees and hears. For instance, some international organizations are filled of members from all over the world because of the same interests. Although they may be not familiar with each other’s national languages, they may act the same styles towards a certain thing, which may not affected by their potential society’s ideas and values.
In sum, it is unfair to judge a society’s ideas and values only by its members’ appearance and behaviors. To make the conclusion more convincing, we should also take objective judging criteria into consideration, such as the literature works and art works left in the society which reflect the traditional history and value of it. ========================================= 自改一: 谢谢C和polo帮我的改文,吸收了一些意见,试着改了一下~ The speaker generalizes unfairly that the way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests and the society’s ideas and values.

“Do as the Romans do”, has long been passed down from generation to generation, we can not neglect that even one cannot rule out the existing of individual difference, he/she can easily get accustomed to an unfamiliar environment because of a certain sociability. Therefore, due to the outstanding adaptive capacity, nearly everyone can integrate into the new environment and be affected by people from other regions. For instance, some international organizations are filled of members from all over the world because of the same interests.
