Baggy Pants: Criminal Wardrobe or Fashion Statement? I turned 40 years old in May. I took some time to reminisce with my 12 year old son about times and trends I have witnessed in my life. As always‚ his curiosity is centered on politics‚ music and fashion. Our conversation was entertaining as I told him about bell bottoms‚ Fat Albert‚ AC/DC‚ the beginning of hip hop‚ and finally: the birth of baggy pants (as I remember it anyway). As we chatted I explained to him the baggy pants style

Drugs‚ knifes‚ guns‚ and even the popular sagging of the pants has been the first thing to come to a persons mind when we bring up young black men. So I ask the world‚ and myself how do we save the black race? How do we save our black children of the future? Most people would request for the "thugs" to put away the pistols and pull up there pants. Or maybe they would request to keep corners clear of soliciting of drugs. What the rest of the

society face today and I definitely agree with that statement because the values and beliefs during that era (such as my parents) meant something‚ as did family-two parent. The difference today is evident‚ as there are much more killing of children‚ sagging pants‚ child abuse and so forth‚ you really didn’t hear much of this during the 60’s. The only evidence I can see as the family becoming weaker could be the fact that more women are having children as single parents‚ rather than being married. Divorce

Next is my peeve about people trying to act all “cool.” They go walking down the hallway with their pants sagging just like their IQ has and add a little foot movement and bam! They are all-of- a- sudden think they’re so cool. It just really ticks me off because obviously they aren’t‚ I mean the least they could do might be to not show their boxers‚ and I

Out of the shadows a frail man crept. His pants were torn and baggy‚ sagging in the back. His black face was wrinkled and dirty‚ and his white hair shone in the moonlight. “The name’s Lemon Brown.” He examined Ms. Jones‚ her black hair was pulled into a tight bun‚ and a floral dress hugged her large figure.

Dress codes. Dress codes are something that everyone has to deal with for almost their whole lives‚ but schools are where dress codes seem to be the most prominent. It seems that every couple of weeks a school has made the news because of their strict dress code or their punishments for breaking the dress code. As a teenage girl‚ the dress code is something that I have a love-hate relationship with. It can either limit what I can wear or make me thankful for giving me guidelines when I don’t know

Since the first civil school was created‚ there was always been a sense of dress code imprinted in the school rules. “The first recorded use of standardized dress in education may have been in England in 1222‚ when the Archbishop of Canterbury mandated that students wear a robe-like outfit called the ‘cappa clausa.’” (Scott) Even in today’s world there is a dress code fit towards the modern day standard.

If I had the opportunity to leave three things in a time capsule it would be my drum major whistle‚ my bible‚ and my favorite bowtie. All three of these items are symbolic of the characteristics and positions I have had throughout my life as a young man. Holding the office of drum major in a marching band is a very strenuous duty. Most individuals consider drum majors to be the face and entertainment of the band‚ specifically with show style marching bands. However‚ the role of a drum major demands
