According to the text Uniforms by Bill Dunn, the author notes that the modern world has fallen out of love with the uniform. Beyond their authoritative function uniforms serve as a means of creating social order, making them unpopular in a world that values freedom and self-determination. Schoolchildren in many parts of the world are required to wear uniforms as part of their educational experience. In some institutions, how uniforms are worn is strictly enforced thereby emphasizing the need for social order. This strips away the students’ ability to be unique and emphasizes a conformist mindset.
