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."

Can we tell much about a society's idea and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people? The speaker claims so. I basically agree with the speaker that the way people look, dress, and act reflects their attitudes and interests.

The first thing that I want to state, is that we can probably tell a lot about a society's ideas and values by perceiving the way people dress in that society, simply because culture of one society determines people's wearing. In the Middle-East, people of Muslim are wearing green or white cloak, turban, garments; when we travel around the world, we see every culture has it's own sort of costumes, even the native Indians, their dressing are telling us that they live in the forest and make a living by hunting. So next time when we are trying to understand some culture, we perceive their dressing, then we could tell much about a culture, and then their ideas by the means that comparing them to similar cultures or the knowledge of a certain culture.

Turning to the next, by observing the behavior of a society's people, such as the way people talking, listening and even eating, we can tell its common attitudes, senses of worth and interests. The way Englishmen treat towards ladies claims that they are gentlemen; when Chinese patriots died for their motherland in The World War II to eliminate the invaders from their country, we know they are the ones who are willing to give their lives up for their people. If we could not understand a culture by its behavior, then we could not understand a society at all, because observing their behavior is a very easy way for us to know about on their society, and even culture.

Nevertheless, the ways mentioned above could not give us an accurate image of the society; it is unfair to judge one society and its people just by observing their appearance and behavior. The reason is that by perceiving the way people look and dress, we could just tell the traditional culture of a society, and try to conjecture and deduce the actual attitude towards everything, since the costumes they wear possibly comes from several centuries ago. For example, when we see people from India, they probably are wearing traditional costumes, that gives us a implication that they are Buddhists, however as we all know today, India are famous for its software companies. On the other hand, even people from England are considered as gentlemen, they are well known for their drunken people, too. Many other examples indicate that it is impossible to really understand a society just by perceiving them.

To sum up, although it is not fair to judge a society just by their dressing and behavior, it is very necessary to do that, because we can obtain much information about that society form them.

交的很晚....快到第4次作业的截至时间了....希望谅解

提纲
1. 对于一个社会来说，他们的文化决定着他们的穿着，因此从他们的文化中我们可以看出他们的价值观。
2. 对于一个社会来说，从他们的行为中可以看出他们的价值观等。
3. 然而从穿着和行为反映出来的东西只是片面的。

Can we tell much about a society's idea and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people? The speaker claims so. I basically agree with the speaker that the way people look, dress, and act reflects their attitudes and interests.

The first thing that I want to state, is that we can probably tell a lot about a society's ideas and values by perceiving the way people dress in that society, simply because culture of one society determines people's wearing. In the Middle-East, people of Muslim are wearing green or white cloak, turban, garments; when we travel around the world, we see every culture has it's own sort of costumes, even the native Indians, their dressing are telling us that they live in the forest and make a living by hunting. （这两个例子不够具体，我来翻下，在中东穆斯林穿长袍带头巾，印地安人穿的衣服说明他们在树林里打猎。这个只是区别，没反映文化啊，你要说穆斯林带头巾为了跟宗教信仰有关，印地安人的衣服你要说他们都随身带刀，才能说明他们的穿着反映了狩猎的习性），So next time when we are trying to understand some culture, we perceive their dressing, then we could tell much about a culture, and then their ideas by the means that comparing them to similar cultures or the knowledge of a certain culture.

Turning to the next, by observing the behavior of a society's people, such as the way people talking, listening and even eating, we can tell its common attitudes, senses of worth and interests. The way Englishmen treat towards ladies claims that they are gentlemen; when Chinese patriots died for their motherland in The World War II to eliminate the invaders from their country, we know they are the ones who are willing to give their lives up for their people（还是那样的问题，英国人处处让妇女先行，这才表明他们尊重妇女，而爱国者那个不算典型事例，因为每个国家的人被入侵都会有这样的表现，建议换个）. If we could not understand a culture by its behavior, then we could not understand a society at all, because observing their behavior is a very easy way for us to know about on their society, and even culture.

Nevertheless, the ways mentioned above could not give us an accurate image of the society; it is unfair to judge one society and its people just by observing their appearance and behavior. The reason is that by perceiving the way people look and dress, we could just tell the traditional culture of a society, and try to conjecture and deduce the actual attitude towards everything, since the costumes they wear possibly comes from several centuries ago. For example, when we see people from India, they probably are wearing traditional costumes, that gives us a implication that they are Buddhists, however as we all know today, India are famous for its software companies（这个例子我觉得应该这样比较说明问题，尽管他们穿传统服装，好象他们的生活很传统，但是实际上他们的生活方式很现代，天天上网吃美式快餐这样。佛教徒，和他们国家计算机软件发达这两个构不成对比）. On the other hand, even people from England are considered as gentlemen, they are well known for their drunken people, too. Many other examples indicate that it is impossible to really understand a society just by perceiving them.

To sum up, although it is not fair to judge a society just by their dressing and behavior, it is very necessary to do that, because we can obtain much information about that society form them.
总的说来例子展开不够,如果一个例子说清楚了的话,字数会上去很多.

楼主帮我也看下吧,我一个星期都不到了..

Can we tell much about a society's idea and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people? The speaker claims so. I basically agree with the speaker that the way people look, dress, and act reflects their attitudes and interests.The first thing that I want to state, is that we can probably tell a lot about a society's ideas and values by perceiving the way people dress in that society, simply because culture of one society determines people's wearing. In the Middle-East, people of Muslim are wearing green or white cloak, turban, garments;这个例子没体现出Muslim文化，呵呵最好补充一下。 when we travel around the world, we see every culture has it's own sort of costumes, even the native Indians, their dressing are telling us that they live in the forest and make a living by hunting.这里最好说一下Indians的着装方便打猎就能呼应前面的 So next time when we are trying to understand some culture, we perceive their dressing, then we could tell much about a culture, and then their ideas by the means that comparing them to similar cultures or the knowledge of a certain culture.一开始说的是society’s ideas and values,后来又变成文化，感觉应该怎么过度一下，比如说文化体现了社会价值观。Turning to the next, by observing the behavior of a society's people, such as the way people talking, listening and even eating, we can tell its common attitudes, senses of worth and interests. The way Englishmen treat towards ladies claims that they are gentlemen; when Chinese patriots died for their motherland in The World War II to eliminate the invaders from their country, we know they are the ones who are willing to give their lives up for their people.这个例子用得不太好，用得太大啦，外国人恐怕很难理解，应该细节具体化一些。 If we could not understand a culture by its behavior, then we could not understand a society at all, because observing their behavior(behaviors) is a very easy(这里用appropriate)好些 way for us to know about on their society, and even culture.Nevertheless, the ways mentioned above could not give us an accurate image of the society; it is unfair to judge one society and its people just by observing their appearance and behavior. The reason is that by perceiving the way people look and dress, we could just tell the traditional culture of a society, and try to conjecture and deduce the actual attitude towards everything, since the costumes they wear possibly comes from several centuries ago.这段话逻辑有点不对啊，前面好象说只能从了解到传统文化，后面并没形成转折啊，而且这段话感觉太中国人思维了，For example, when we see people from India, they probably are wearing traditional costumes, that gives us a implication that they are Buddhists, however as we all know today, India are famous for its software companies.这个例子在证明什么，没看懂。On the other hand, even people from England are considered as gentlemen, they are well known for their drunken people, too.这个例子思维太跳跃了吧，怎么知道drunken people 也同样是gentleman的，楼主不能因为自己思维里面有这个跳跃式的过度就直接表达出来，应该过度一下最好这样For example, observed by appearance and behavior a friend of mine usually behave as a gentleman ,but however he often have a favor of bibulosity which is contracted his gentleman behavior.Many other examples indicate that it is impossible to really understand a society just by perceiving them.To sum up, although it is not fair to judge a society just by their dressing and behavior, it is very necessary to do that, because we can obtain much information about that society form them.
