Blog 2.2 - Fashion + Emotion = Hot Topic (Nurhanis Grade 12)

 

Right. We're back to this topic. It's more branched out now. We legit continued our discussion for the whole two periods. That's how fun it was. It was mainly a discussion about William's and Ayse's handouts. Even though it was their time to talk, the atmosphere was so chill that everyone could butt in and say what they think about the topic. 

That was not the main topic. The main event took place during the second period. We practically lashed out our opinions on the school uniforms. I personally don't hate the idea of uniforms; in fact, I actually like it. I wouldn't have to think about what to wear everyday. I also agree that it helps students realize the environment their in. As a student myself, uniforms help us have our own identity. We're students, we go to school to study and learn. Uniforms helps to establish the fact that everyone is equal. I find it sad when most of us wear the school jacket just to cover up the pink or blue shirt. Our school uniforms should be something that we are proud to wear. Not something that we wish to hide. I feel like that's a mistake on the designers half.  

I also find it interesting to how humans correlate colours to emotions. Like how were we brainwashed to think that red means mad or blue means sad. We did an activity where we wrote our own opinions to what emotions or objects does a certain colour represents. It's interesting how love can be both red and pink. To me, pink describes a more playful love like the dating stage. Red on the other hand describes a more passionate love like marriage stage. Even though people correlate sadness to blue, there are different shades of blue and each one of those shades means something different.
