Thomas Hobbes' Opinion- CZ

Should Bedford High School require students to wear uniforms?



Bedford High School should require students to wear uniforms because of my
stances on politics and human nature.  The authorities of school are like the government. The students are the civilians, and they should follow the school authorities.  Now, I believe that the government should be centralized, dominant, and unchallengeable by even the most rebellious of civilians.  If the school makes everyone wear a uniform, then the students would feel unity.  The school makes it clear that they are in charge, and the students must abide by their rules.  Installing uniforms acts as a statement of authority.  Uniforms are not a necessity, but they are a harsh act of legislation.  In fact, based on my thoughts regarding human nature, people need to be bossed around.  All humans are born selfish, and humans only do things for their own benefit.  If Bedford strictly orders this dress code, they are suppressing the students natural qualities of being judgmental and going against authority.  From my viewpoint, if every student is ordered to wear the same thing, the students will not feel better than any of their peers.  Uniforms are a way to avoid conflict in terms of wealth.  As long as the school navigates past predicaments, and establishes strict rules, the students will behave well.  Uniforms do not give students the opportunity to feel entitled to anything.  In addition, students will be more appreciative of their school authorities.  I believe that a state of nature in education is ridiculous.  Therefore, the more authority the school uses over the kids, the greater the school will run as a whole.  I know that uniforms would be a great thing for Bedford High School by making their adults the absolute sovereign.  The school will run better, and more students will behave when they are bossed around.  Human nature and politics should always be observed most carefully before making a decision.
