The speaker asserts that people's attitudes and interests could reflect through their ordinary performance like coat and behavior. I agree that these features could be the best way on define the quality of person. With the various personal characteristics emerge in modern times, the society keeping using this method-like what they did in the ancient-to distinguish person's intrinsic quality.

To begin with, wherever we are, the most people we want to chat with is the man or woman with clean cloth and good look. Not because every one prefers the beautiful things but also this feature could be a symbol of good cultivated. And he most people accepted education in the developed countries, however, we still can find out the person who is poor educated in the public where the crowed stay together. That is because people accept the moral and political behavior training in the several years school class. The noble school in ancient Europe takes many times teaching their students who came from the noble family the difference custom and dress as a noble member. In the modern society, the school also has the same class, not for noble any more, provide the basic knowledge that if you do the reverse of what they taught you would be treated as a low-grade people in this society.

Moreover, the behavior and appearance would be the best sign when we used to define this person because in the high developed society that the people keep moving from one place to another place  make us difficult to know their old history which could be good idea on define the people's family education and that the people do many different jobs but even wearing the same suit make us difficult to know their work environments which could be also good idea on define the people's environment influence. Once this complex phenomenon happened, the best way would be observe the behavior what the farmers and workers, the clerk and manager, the students and professor always have a very different action and though on the same issue. So more and more people in society like to use observing the appearance and behavior to distinguish the people, at the same time their selves were observed by the same standard.

However, the uncommon even strange things always happened everywhere. For instance, some millionaires wear the cloth like the common worker in the public and also do the same behavior like what the common person do in order to decrease the attention from public, and some children from poor family purchase expensive clothes and brand shoes like the children from rich family do in order to attract attention and gain the illusive pride from public and classmate. All these special group could make this observing method has mistake, especially when some one do this mimic deliberately for the social aim. Eventually, the more and more people do not want show their factual self to the society, hence cloth they wear and the behavior they did could not be a representation of their selves.

In conclusion, most people receive the education and training from both the school and family about how to wear and how to do something as the position they be, so we can observing their interests and attitudes from these features. However, with the more and more people dislike expose their selves directly in front of public, the best way to find out their interests and views accurately would be through long time communications and contact.
