issue208通过观察个人行为了解社会(限时求给分)(机井高频题)
题目
208 "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."
正文
It is well believed that people tend to express their ideas and attitudes in the way they look, dress and even act, which can be observed by people to identify them then. Well, I agree with the speaker in this contention that people's means of dressing, acting have the relation with their inherent ideas or even values. However, to widen the ground that the behavior and appearance of its people one can tell significantly much about a society's ideas and values may mislead the actual social atmospheres.
Admittedly, we people have the natural impulse to show their inner mental world in some expressional ways such as behaviors and appearances to the society, to be identified and revered. In some organization, the members like to wear the distinctive clothing with common patterns to identify themselves and tell the public that they are belonging to some certain communities. The identified feeling can assure an individual's mental needs to be recognized and revered by others, and as well as express their attitudes to others. Take an example, the environmental supporters may wear a T-shirt with some special words or patterns, to express their environmental ideas and call up other's sense of environmental dealings. That is the way people show their personal expressions and wish to be identified and revered, even call up the other's common sense thereby.
However, though it is with the natural impetus that people tend to express their minds in some showing ways, sometimes the behaviors or dresses may have nothing to do with one's inner ideas. Individuals are also easy to change their looking temporally. For example, we sometimes just wear some T-shirts for its good looking simply, and do not mention what the patterns it means. One wear a T-shirt with a rock star head of course cannot be a rock fan just for its popular means. Or we sometimes wear sports shoes just for its convenient feelings, in no way it means that we are sports fan. That means, in a lot of cases we just wear something or dong some affairs completely for fun, not for an expressional purpose.
Furthermore, in the trend of globalization, the people in different society even though with distinctive ideas or national values and attitudes, still tend to be no significant different in their looking ways. At present, as business are doing irrespective geographical respects, we can find clothing shops with a same brand in China, Canada, the USA, even other places, as well as the people wearing the same clothes there. However, it is by no means that they have the same ideas and attitudes towards a national affairs as they still have their own scopes and perspectives whatever they wear. Besides that, any observer cannot have a perfect understanding with his or her limited observing abilities and limited samples, it tend to mislead or not to wrongly reflect an actual atmosphere of a society with some incomplete observations of its members, as they are not representative fairly.
In sum, it is the human nature that individuals have the wish to express their ideas and attitudes in some certain ways, such as some behaviors or appearances, which can be identified and then reveal their minds. However, as any observer have the limited observation and understanding, as well as people sometimes do not show their ideas with the looking, a observation of some member’s wearing or doings may not represent the true atmosphere of a society fairly. Since that, we should not charge and value a social atmosphere so easily, and it would be better to consider other further aspects to tell a society's ideas and values.
