REHUGO ANALYSIS – Government.

A. Articles Read.

a. School Uniforms Do Not Stifle Freedom of Expression

b. School Uniforms Stifle Freedom of Expression



B. Articles Attached.

C.

a. School Uniforms Do Not Stifle Freedom Of Expression comes from an 11 year old boy named DePinto. He argues that he doesn’t want to wear his school uniform. He simply wants to wear his own clothes and to do so he creates his own little way of protesting it towards his school.

b. School Uniforms Stifle Freedom Of Expression states that having a uniform unites the students and everyone of racial ethnicity to one another. It says that students are to wear uniforms according to code, with minor ways to accessorise their own clothing of their choosing.

D. Evidence.

a. It’s obvious that DePinto wants to express himself freely when his school will not let him. Every child and/or teenager would love to express themselves freely without anyone caring, especially the school staff. DePinto takes his first step into doing so by not wearing his uniform, but also wears a Emblem that says “No to Uniforms” written on it. This appeals to Logos, because every student has a say, although they might not win, it’s worth a shot.

b. In the opposing article, the uniform is a way to maintain the student body. You are free to express yourselfs with minor changes to your uniform, as long as it fits the color code and type of shirt, shorts, jeans, etc.


E. Rhetorical Strategies.

a. In School Uniforms Do Not Stifle Freedom of Expression they ask rhetorical questions to themselves. They ask, “Against his will? An Emblem?” Simply because DePinto had changed his outfit, and wore an emblem with Hitler on it stating that it was his way of protesting. They ask because he says “

b. In both articles, cause and effect is used by stating what happens when there is or there isn’t a dress code. If there is no dress-code, there is no stability simply stated. They also say, that even with a dress code you are able to “Make your own friends, form your own opinions and shape your own beliefs, even if you're forced to look like everybody else.”

F. A school uniform may matter in some places and some it may not. Students as myself would like to express ourselves however we feel like we can. Whether it’s dressing how we want, acting how we want, doing what we want. School is school, where you meet people, make friends typically do what you can without bending rules. Dress code is just one rule students really don’t want to care about because we dress how we want. For example, what would be the point of buying clothes if at school we have to wear a uniform so we look exactly like everyone else? There’s no point to it. Even so, color is affiliated with gangs, tribes, etc. It depends on those people to make their own decisions and do what they want. Therefore, I believe that a dress code is not needed. Students want to express themselves freely without a care in the world.
