Nowadays people are influenced by fashion, in particular when choosing their clothes and hairstyle. Is this a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include examples from your own experience.
Fashion
is an important part of today’s human culture. It has a tendency to influence the ways of individuals in terms of dressing and their hairstyle
. In my opinion, it is a positive and negative development for society. This
essay will discuss this
issue comprehensively.
On the one hand, fashion
has contributed to economic growth since it enhances the local and national industries of a country. It means that the trend of fashion
is perceived as a potential business. Taking Indonesia as an example, the veil is one of the most popular fashions among Muslim women in the last
two decades. The great number of it potential buyers, since Indonesia is the most populous Muslim nation, is the main reason why the veil industry has been rising significantly. Hence
, this
industry, from homemade businesses to big manufacturers, becomes economic activity which contributed to national economic growth.
On the other hand
, fashion
particularly in hairstyle
, in many cases, can lead to misbehaving among people
. A punk hairstyle
, for instance
, is usually associated with gang-related crime. Furthermore
, this
kind of hairstyle
brings some stereotypes which people
may think that they are rebellious or uneducated. Consequently
, youth who find themselves under the influence of this
type of hairstyle
, are considered to lack self-esteem and threaten local and national cultural identity.
In conclusion, fashion
determines how people
choose their dresses and hairstyle
. In this
essay, I would argue that it has positive and negative development as well. On the one side, it brings advantages for economic advancement, and on the other side, it has detrimental effects on people
such
as a lack of confidence in their cultural identity.Submitted by salwafahanim on
