問題詳情
請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題： Dress codes are written and, more often, unwritten rules with regard to clothing. Clothing, like other aspectsof human physical appearance, has a social significance, with different rules and expectations applying dependingon circumstance and occasion. Even within a single day an individual may need to navigate between two or moredress codes: at a minimum those that apply at their place of work and those at home; usually this ability is a resultof cultural acclimatization. Different societies and cultures will have different dress norms, although Westernstyles are widely accepted as valid. The dress code has built in rules or signals indicating the message being given by a person’s clothing andhow it is worn. This message may include indications of the person’s gender, income, occupation and social class,political, ethnic and religious affiliation, attitude towards comfort, fashion, traditions, gender expression, maritalstatus, sexual availability, and sexual orientation. Clothes convey other social messages including the stating orclaiming personal or cultural identity, the establishing, maintaining, or defying social group norms, andappreciating comfort and functionality. For example, wearing expensive clothes can communicate wealth, the image of wealth, or cheaper access toquality clothing. The observer sees the expensive clothes, but may misinterpret the extent to which these factorsapply to the wearer. Clothing can convey a social message, even if none is intended: if the receiver’s code ofinterpretation differs from the sender’s code of communication, misinterpretation follows. However clothes maybe worn because they are comfortable and practical, not to convey a message. In every culture, current fashion governs how clothing is constructed, assembled, and worn to convey asocial message. The rate of change of fashion varies. More extensive changes, requiring more time, money, andeffort to effect, may span generations. When fashion changes, the messages communicated by clothing change.
