INDECENT DRESSING; A SERIOUS ENCROACHMENT ON OUR MORAL VALUES

INDECENT DRESSING; A SERIOUS ENCROACHMENT ON OUR MORAL VALUES
 
     Let me quickly point out that although, the dress code affects both male and female students, the greater parts of the brunt is borne by the female students and this is not surprising. We all know that some boys are in the habit of plating their hair and wearing ear rings, but by far girls pose a greater danger to the society by their types of dressing which includes such “wears” as spaghetti tops, body hug, transparent materials, miniskirts and generally, outfits that reveal almost all their natural endowments. One is forced to ponder about the cause of these indecent dressing. Lot of people has rightly pointed fingers at the increasing westernization of all facets of our lives and gradual but sure erosion of our social values and norms. Bad upbringing and plain mischief cannot be left out as a lot of families have lost their focus and shirked their roles in pursuit of material things. Whatever the case may be, the fact is that the need for such policies as the dress code is long overdue. The only fear of course is now on the implementation as it is obvious that some of the schools that announced the enactment of dress code law are far from achieving any meaningful results due to lack of implementation.
