Does fashion contribute anything to society?
Arguments
1. A good appearance may help people make a better impression in social
contacts.
2. When people are getting old, they should pay more attention to their
appearance.
3. The way people are dressed helps them to preserve a sense of their own
value and personality.
4. Fashion adds spice to life with its rich colour, variety, and
beauty.
5. Men and women follow fashions in order to please each other and
themselves.
6. The world will be a dull place to live in if people always wear clothes
of the same style and colour.
7. Mass production makes well-designed clothes cheap and available to
everyone.
8. The fashion industry is an enormous one. It provides employment for
people like textile workers, designers, shopkeepers, etc.
9. The fashion industry has helped industrial research in the sense that a
lot of new materials, like nylon, rayon, etc. have been made to meet the demand
of the consumers.
10. Being well dressed is of psychological importance because confidence in
one's appearance leads to confidence in one's success in life.
Counter-arguments
1. People sometimes look odd with the so-called fashionable hairstyles,
make-up, and dresses.
2. Top designers in Paris and London are dictatorial, for they lay down the
law and the whole world rushes to obey.
3. Fashion goes like this: one year, one thing; the next year, the
reverse.
4. People are so vain that they are afraid of being seen in old-fashioned
clothes.
5. People, especially the fashionmongers, are blackmailed by fashion
designers and stores.
6. Changing fashions is a deliberate creation of waste because one will
have to discard a lot of new clothes in order to follow fashions.
7. Fashion designers are not interested in important things like warmth,
comfort, and durability of the clothes. They are only interested in outward
appearance and profits.
8. The odder the clothes, the more expensive they are, and the more
fashionable they become. It's a great pity that people have lost their
appreciation of real beauty.
9. In order to follow fashions, people have to put up with great
discomfort, such as suffering from cold in winter.
10. One's confidence does not grow from the way one is dressed, but from
the inner qualities one possesses.
