Contemporariness or Conventions?

Today across the globe, uniforms are the most striking features of a school, college or an organization. It has been an age-old custom to go with uniforms. But today in the Twenty-First century the young, innovative minds challenge the existence of uniforms. Everyone has their own perceptions and points of views, which may be apt according to them but for universal acceptance only one thought can be implemented. This is can be rightly proved by the saying - 'Old is Gold'.

Uniforms are the dignity and identity of a student and his school. Therefore I strongly believe in the fact that uniforms should be worn. Just imagine a chilly winter morning in which you've sunken into a deep slumber, right under your quilt. The alarm failed to function and all of a sudden you realize that, "OMG!!! I've my school sharply after half an hour! You jump off your bed like a boomerang and rush through your morning tasks. You just wear your uniform without a tinge of thought prevailing.  But when you're running against the clock, your head would start to whirl just at the sight of the numerous colorful clothes. At this movement your heart beats faster and faster and you'll get baffled as in what to wear. In this case having a uniform is like having a worthy friend. But on the contrary, a few careful students always would be highly conscious. They would be good decision makers and would just choose the casuals as uniforms. They would prepare things beforehand.

As mentioned above, wearing uniforms is not just about choosing the right thing or reaching the school on time. Uniforms are the identity of a particular school. Let us imagine another situation. You have been on a trip and you get separated from your class. You are perplexed and just don't know what to do. Meanwhile a person sees you in your uniform and guides you. But when the question comes to handling tuff situations, one should keep calm and cool, think diplomatically and then find a solution. What could be a better situation than this to learn patients? So it hardly matters if you are in your uniforms or not, you simply need your brain working and all will be well!

Imaginary situations are more or less accidental. But in practical life the financial status of a person matter a lot. If schools allow free dress, than not all students would be wearing the same sort of clothes as all may not be as financially sound. Thus clearly, partiality and discrimination may seep in, adversely affecting the poorer lot of students. Uniforms are same for all and this hides the financial status and prevents the occurrence of other hindrances die to it. Now a days, uniforms are also no cheap. So, on the contrary, if the same amount is spent on buying casuals, than it can be worn at school as well as on special occasions. Thus it becomes more profitable and beneficial for the individuals to be in free dresses rather than uniforms!

After analyzing all the above mentioned parameters the picture becomes clear. We can easily deduce the truth that uniforms are of utmost importance to the school and to the students. The students are required to respect and wear uniforms.
