Introduction

External aspects are the first to give an individual identity. First impression is decisive and sustainable, the right outfit can send : professionalism, seriously, requirement, respect.

First impressions are critical. Remember, you are marketing yourself to a potential employer,and the first thing the employer sees when greeting you is your attire.

Background Information
Throughout history, dress codes have provided uniformity. However, dress codes more recently gained notoriety in public school systems, after school districts decided that dress codes reduce violence, alleviate the influence of gang colors and limit distractions in the classroom.

schools In schools, dress codes encourage equality among students, especially those of lower socioeconomic statuses, to ensure all students receive equal opportunities in the classroom. School dress codes usually limit revealing and sagging clothing, and may even dictate a specific uniform students must wear.

workplace Office dress codes may require business, business casual or casual attire, depending on the company.

The type of clothes you wear to work sends a message about yourself and how you view your job. Your attire also may send a message about the company itself, and some businesses encourage a particular type of workplace attire. The type of workplace attire expected varies from business to business -- there is no single correct type of workplace attire. In some offices, a formal look is expected and required, while in others, a more casual look may be more appropriate.

<span style="color: #0e2c3e; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">There are also some Muslim countries that force an “Islamic dress code” on women. For example, in Indonesia, (May 2010) police caught 18 women wearing traditional headscarves, but also jeans. The women had their jeans confiscated and were given long skirts before being released.

<span style="color: #0e2c3e; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Other Muslim-majority countries are trying to protect women’s freedom of choice. In 2010, the Bangladeshi High Court ruled that the Ministry of Education should ensure that women who are employed in public institutions are not required to wear the veil "against their will.” The judges agreed that "it is a personal choice of women to wear the veil or not." They added that "forcing a woman to wear the veil against her will" is considered a "flagrant violation" of basic human rights “enshrined in the Constitution.”

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">References
On this wiki we shall use the APA citation style. There is an example for each below.
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Appropriate documentation is extremely important in all areas of scholarly work. Not only are there laws prohibiting unauthorized use of a borrowed source, but it is morally necessary to give credit where credit is due.
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> When creating a wiki page, each source from which one gains information //must// be cited--and cited properly. Citation is required when summarizing, quoting, or paraphrasing a source. If unsure about whether or not citation is necessary, cite it anyway. It is better to over-cite rather than under-cite. Also, too, be careful about citing images. It is not sufficient to reference Google images as a source just because Google was used to locate the image. Instead, go to the site that provides the image, and cite that.
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Citation for the wiki pages should be treated in the same manner as though writing an English paper. Proper APA formatting involves in-text parenthetical citation as well as a reference section at the end of the page. Each source cited in the final "References" section should be listed alphabetically, too. In addition, when citing titles, italics are preferred to underlining. It is more aesthetically cohesive in a web document.
