Superficial Judgements

In today’s society we are judged constantly fr the way we look, whether it’s clothing, or even our hairstyles. Dressing a certain way can either be to make a personal statement or to try to impress someone, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. We are all guilty for passing judgment and we are all victims of being judged.
I am a perfect example. I was fourteen years old, and I had a short pixie haircut and dressed “punk”; I was trying to make a statement. I wore ripped clothing, clothes that didn’t match, vibrant colors, and studs- the typical punk look. Since I had short hair and had a so-called “butch” look to me, often I was immediately labeled a lesbian. One day, when I was walking with one of my girl friends, who had long hair and dressed more
girly than I did, this boy, about my same age, came up to us and asked us if we were lesbians or bisexual. I told him “no” and that I had a boyfriend and he was shocked. Now that I have long hair and dress differently then I did, I never get questioned any more. I notice that we all get judged just by the way we present ourselves. We do this because it’s in our human nature to express who we are and to step outside of the box, but we have to be prepared for judgment. We want to express who we are, or we want to impress people. The reason why I dressed the way I did was because I didn’t want to be like every other girl. I wanted to be me and I expressed myself through fashion.
Since I’ve started Hairstyling School I have learned that we have to dress to impress people. At school, we work with other people all the time, so we have to wear a uniform so we look more professional. As we enter the real world and start searching for jobs we have to wear many masks to get the job we yearn for. Personal appearance is the key to first impressions. For example if you go in for a job interview at a top-notch restaurant wearing dirty ripped jeans and a t-shirt; most likely they won’t hire you. You could have been the best employee they would ever have had, but because you dressed that way you didn’t get it. However, if you went in with nice black dress pants and a nice blouse then you would have a better chance of being hired.
The world is very complex and judgment is unavoidable in our society. Everyone wants to be unique and standout. We just have to understand where to draw the line in our judgment on ourselves and others. No matter what we do we’ll never make everyone happy. As the old saying goes “don’t judge a book by its cover,” because when you open the book you may find a beautiful story.
