Rubbernecking: Skirts, Slacks, and Sneakers Taking a closer look into the discussion on gender inequality and dress codes I have come to find that there is not simply to use this debate does not have to be a black and white conversation and that I won 't let it be now I cannot prevent everyone 's views on this topic because there are so many shades of grey it would be near impossible to equally represent them all I 'll ever to make it feasible this paper will represent a couple of frequently represented points of view.

Dress codes are created for varieties of different reasons.

Depending on the type of job, people should only have to follow a dress code if it is completely necessary.…

However, after gaining a few friends, visiting their homes and experiencing life through their eyes, I gained a better understanding of the cultural dress code.…
