Fashion among students
1. Fashion among Students
Fashion is the prevailing custom in dress, manners, speech, etc. of a
particular place and time, as established by the dominant section of
society. Fashion is a means to look different in an indifferent world: so
is the case with the students. They, too, are trying to catch up with the
dominant section of their society-to look upto date and modern i.e.
successful. There is a maddening race regarding fashion, everyone wants
to look different. Society has a huge role to play in it. Whenever the two
people meet they talk about everything that is new and that can be
embraced. They use artificial words, foreign languages, and far-off
quotations and relate non-native history. They do their best to copy the
clothing of the rich. They also imitate the manners of greeting, meeting,
chatting, eating, sleeping, joking, and etc. in their daily routines. Now
the fashion has also included the show off, to buy the most expensive
thing that others can’t. Mobile phone mania is a vital example of it. This
has inflicted much bad results on the students. Primarily, our society is
responsible for it. We are getting away from our roots. We are giving up
not only our traditions but also our religious believes to some extent.
There is a huge change in our society overall. The life of simplicity is
sinking somewhere and the glamour is taking over. Everything all
around us has something of the ‘vogue’. This ‘craze’ has shifted on to
the students like other members of the society. The students around us
have adopted all the fashions prevailing in society. Today, they wear
stylish clothes following the westerners. They also copy their style of
speech and mannerisms. Their style is rather artificial, and their
comportment is devoid of feelings and emotions. The students of our
homeland are paying more attention to the fashion than to their studies.
The fashion established in our society has a lot of bad effects. Firstly, it
is ruining the country by destroying her economy. It is owing to the
lesser savings that we stand at a backward state. The discrimination
between the rich and the poor is increasing. Today, a costly dress, a bike
and a mobile have become more important than a book.
