...Dress Code: To Be or Not to Be A dress code may be a hard rule to put into practice. Although it is hard to implement, studies have been done that show that schools with a dress code have better performance. Not everyone agrees a school having a dress code, which makes it hard to execute. People can argue that it is a good idea or it is a bad idea. I think it is a good idea to have some sort of a dress code, but not to the point where students have to wear the same uniform every day. Everyone wants there kid to do well in school. Studies show that the schools that have strict dress codes do better than schools that do not have dress codes. When you have a certain structured dress code, kids are less likely to worry about what they are wearing and focus more on the schooling. If you require the students to wear uniforms all of the time, the use of the same colors could possible cause depression with the kids. Instead of making them wear a uniform every day, make them wear one on certain days of the week. Variety of clothes and being able to pick what you want to wear is a fun part of school for most people. When required to wear certain uniforms, depending on what they are, the students could have better school spirit. On the other hand, they could go completely against the school for requiring them to have to wear uniforms. Someone will not like the uniform no matter how nice it is that is just the way it is. Everyone wants to show off their new clothes they...

...Why Dress Codes Are So Dumb And Too Strict Do you like being told what to wear? Because I don't. Dress codes in schools have always been an issue. And it's always been a debate on whether or not they're good for schools. I believe that they're dumb and utterly ridiculous. Hollister, a long time ago, sued a school in West Virginia for forcing kids to put duct tape over the rips in their $28 jeans. Schools take dress codes way too far and use them for idiotic reasons. One of the main reasons schools shouldn't have them is because they are overly dramatic. Principals and teachers have always pointed at "distractions" on students. When in reality they are the only ones looking. At a few private schools, you aren't allowed to wear any jewelry without a cross on it. When a student violates a dress code they are required to call their home and ask for a change of clothes. It's as if parents don't have jobs of their own. As if they have all the time in the world to just go home, grab clothes, and bring them to their kid's school. Just because you can see a child's knees or collarbones does not mean you can't learn in schools. Showing slips of skin is in no way harmful or inappropriate. You would think that after how many people state they're against...

... Abstract Females in school are exposed to all kinds of different rules that takes away their right to express themselves. During this essay you will find reasons why dress codes are difficult to follow upon female student. This essay will also explore some of the different controversial issues between schools and female students due to the dress code policy, and the different ways females use to fight back. School dress codes are more for females than males, because schools see women as distraction for males and others. Schools dress codes are messing with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gives the students the right to express themselves, without hurting others. We will see how females fight back on what they believe it is taking their freedom of speech and freedom to express their unique personalities. Fighting For Freedom Women like to express themselves through clothing, shoes, hair, make up and all kind of different accessories. Regardless of what color, religion, what body size or shape they have, females like to personalize their style using fashion and new trends. While parents drill on their female children the importance to love and feel comfortable with themselves no matter how they look. Schools portrays women as a “distraction” for men and others. They are constantly making changes to the school dressing codes, especially for female students from kindergarten to high school because of their natural sexuality...

...2015 Dress Code is Irrelevant A dress code is basically a set of rules stating what you can and can’t wear. Everyone has had a dress code at least once in their life. You mainly see dress codes at school. Dress codes in the educational environment are possibly the strictest set of rules. You’ll notice that the dress codes at school get stricter as the students get older. The fact that dress code is highly enforced causes great controversy in society. There are many issues that dress codes cause, and they all mainly affect the females. The main reason that dress codes should be banned all together is because it is shaming girls and their bodies more than it is protecting the educational environment. Dress codes have been around for centuries. Back in the day, it was frowned upon for a woman to show any skin. Dress codes are different throughout the country. Some countries dress codes still remain as strict as they did many centuries ago. For example, according to a library source I found, “The Islamic dress code emphasizes modesty. Men are mandated to cover their bodies from the knees to the navel. Women are required to wear clothes that are not too tight or transparent and to cover all parts of their body except the hands and face. The primary objective of the dress code is to prevent women from becoming the object of enticement or desire.”(Khan 207) In America, women didn’t need to cover their face, but they were covered from neck to toe. Luckily, the dress code has...

Chelsea completed a program of study as a physical therapy assistant at a technical institute and accepted a position at a local hospital where she would support several physical therapists. The reaquired attire for everyone working in the physical therapy unit is a blue smock and matching slacks. Chesea received information about the required attire. While in school, she enjoyed buying clothes in vintage shops and accessorizing with wild-print handbags and lots of jewelry to achieve her own individual look. Needless to say, Chelsea found the required smock and slacks pretty dull clothing. After purchasing the required clothes, she began to think about how she could "jazz up" the outfit. She excahanged the drawstring in the slacks for a colorful braided rope belt and tucked in her smock at the waist. She made a bracelet...

...Topic Proposal: Creativity Limitations in the Public School System Is the public school system limiting the creativity of the students that are enrolled? Creativity in the public school system is a controversial topic that has sparked the attention of many. We live in a society that enforces strict dress code policies in public schools. We live in a society that that has strict mandated curricula that must be followed, and we live in a society where art departments are being cut from schools. This topic requires immediate attention today because the public school system is negatively impacting the creativity of the enrolled students by not allowing students to freely explore their selves and areas of interest. By conducting research that deals with how the public school system is impacting the students’ creativity from both viewpoints, I will attempt to show the multitude of arising problems with the public school system, and ultimately support my own opinion about the topic. I will also explain why immediate action is necessary and steps to take in order to begin reversing the issue I feel as if the public school system is limiting the creativity of students in many ways. Some ways include, but are not limited to, the enforcement of dress code policies, the mandated curricula that teachers must follow, and the budget cuts that are taking art departments out of public school. However, there are many other opposing viewpoints to my claim. Tim Bradley, a writer for the Huffington...

...Dress code, the thing schools hate to talk about the most. How should boys get to walk around with their underwear showing and girls can’t even show their shoulders? I mean I don’t think girls should be able to wear shirts with their stomachs showing but why is showing our shoulders such a big deal? School uniforms are a problem solver except for one thing, usually the uniforms are not that cute or fashionable, not to mention their uncomfortable. But at least with uniforms there would be a fair dress code. Girls are being punished because the boys can’t control themselves. Most girls can dress however they want and not get caught, but when other girls try to dress however they want they get caught. It’s like some girls can get a free pass!...

...Obviously a lot has changed in the past 227 years of American history, for example, it is not socially acceptable to enslave a human being anymore, so why shouldn’t the basic rights and rules of governing change with it? The problem with government infringing on the citizens rights does not lie in changing rules that are literally older than sliced bread. It lies in the fact that the government has not produced effective guidelines that check them, limiting their power in dictating the citizen’s private lives. Without...

...related tests. Consider some of these questions as you a paragraph about these tests. What did the test tell you? Are the results accurate? What personality are you? What learning style is best for you? Have these tests made you look at your career choices differently? Knowing the most that you can about yourself is something that can truly help you improve the way you live. The test we took asked many seemingly basic questions. They seemed relatively abstract, but made sense upon further examination. Many of the questions ask you about your tendencies as a person, such as if you like to be at parties or reading a book. Then, you get grouped into a category based on these tendencies. I received INTJ-T. This personality type is know for being people who use logic to find answers to problems, despite the possibility of harming others in the way. I found my results to be incredibly accurate, and I found nothing that contradicted the way I am. All of these traits lined up with what my preferred careers required as well, leading to a feeling of great satisfaction. This included being a lawyer and an industrial-organizational psychologist, both of which I was already interested in. My learning style is auditory, which aligns with my...

...Alana had converted 2 years ago has a past life style of drinking and partying as well as Lisa who was a feisty young fighter before she converted to Islam. We got to meet Shannon a Pakistan model that grew up in the Muslim faith and is now enjoying a quite liberal lifestyle. It became interesting to see Shannon interview these three converted women and observe their practices. As she took a deep look at each of these converts Shannon began to question them on why they choose to convert to Islam. After taking interest in their lifestyles Shannon began feeling guilty as she began to question her own faith as she listen to the other women’s stories and watch their dedication to the Islamic faith. It was interesting to see how dedicated each woman was in their faith, as Sophia prays 5 times a day and wears a hijab she is accepted by the Muslim women in the temple. Alana is dedicated as well as she gave up food such as ham and is going to Arab school to learn Arabic. Shannon joined Alana while she attended Arabic school and was scolded for not covering her head. Men and women were separated as the men sat in the front while the women attended lecture in the back. Alana faced difficulties in her practice as she kept her faith hidden from her parents because she was scared of how her parents would react. The next...

Dallas is a landmark supreme court case; therefore, it is important to understand the history, background, constitutional issue, and the current impact with hairstyles. With schools controlling or limiting how long or short a person’s hair is allowed to be, there will be people who disagree and will want to express themselves. Many children have tried to do different things with there hair and this has caused a major supreme court case due to the school regulations of, not to be long enough to pass the collar, over the ears, or passed the eyebrows. With this regulation on boys, many of them have been suspended or were not allowed to enroll into a school....

...Pharmacy students, upon entering their institutions, have to abide by a code of conduct usually higher than other students following a different career path. Students specialising in law, marketing or accounting do not have to maintain the high standard of professionalism that pharmacy students have to demonstrate whilst in school. Students have deemed this set of rules unfair and professionals insist that it has to be maintained in order to fully understand the grasp of pharmacy as a profession. Personally, I understand the need to abide by these rules but also agree with other students that is not necessarily fair. The profession,pharmacy, deals with lives. The three most important aspect of pharmacy are quality, safety and efficacy of medicines and these in turn help to save patients’ lives, to improve their health and to manage chronic diseases while at the same time maximising the comfort of the patient. It is important to demonstrate a degree of professionalism for patients to ensure their lives in our care. This level of competence can only be exhibited upon entering the profession if students are taught right from day one. It improves the chances of perfecting skills that have been taught and instilled from college and therefore of providing better services to the patients. As future pharmacists, pharmacy students have to assume the role and learn to behave in an appropriate manner that is respectful to both the profession and colleagues. A pharmacist or even a pharmacy...

...decided to observe the participants of Richmond Music Festival in 2014. This group consists of Caucasians, Chinese born in Canada [CBC] and newcomers from China. By observing this group, I am able to conduct a cross-culture study that might reveal the relationship between cultures and rules regarding manners. The Caucasians can be easily recognized by their white skin color. The CBCs can be easily distinguished from new immigrants from China in the language they used in conversation with parents and their accent. The conversations between CBCs and their parents were in English; while the new comers communicated with the parents in Chinese (either Mandarin or Cantonese). When the CBCs said their names aloud at the reception desk, they didn’t have any accent. In comparison, those new comers spoke English in Chinese Intonation. In addition to their difference in culture backgrounds, their financial backgrounds are different as well. The Caucasians’ and CBCs’ families might come from middle class. The cars they drove are affordable and useful vehicles in brands such as Toyota, Jeep etc. The clothes their parents wore are in mostly common Canadian brands. In comparison, the new comers’ families seemed wealthier. They drove cars such as...

...business in general. Therefore, companies tend to be run by technical experts rather than lawyers and accountants and this is reflected in the high regard in which engineers are held by other Germans. Diligence and competence are characteristics which are held in high esteem by colleagues and are seen as the key indicators of performance. Appraisal systems based on the softer competencies as favoured by many U.K. and U.S. firms are still not common in traditional German companies. German business structures Most of the power in German companies is vested in the hands of a few senior managers. Larger companies (AG & GmbH) have a Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) which appoints the Management Board (Vorstand). The management board is the final decision-maker on policy matters which affect management. However below Vorstand level, companies tend to have a strictly hierarchical approach within which individual's specific roles and responsibilities are tightly defined and compartmentalised. This results in a methodical approach to most business issues where procedures and adherence to well-defined rules are respected. This methodical approach has both good and bad points. On the plus side, everybody knows what is expected of them and has a process to help them achieve clearly identifiable goals. On the other hand, a criticism that is often levelled at German industry as a whole and at German business people individually is that they are inflexible and slow to change to new situations...
