The most interesting part of chapter five that I found was on Dress. Communication studies offers very well thought out, beautiful theories and concepts of our way of communicating. Dress is a huge aspect of a person's cultural identity. This is part of the initial perception of a person. Through dress, ones culture is able to shine through. In the text, it states that there are 3 primary reasons for dress; comfort protection, modesty, and cultural display.
Dress is a huge part of nonvgerbal signs. A character is displayed. I think that one thing that is unique about dress is the fact that you can take it off. The next day, you can wear a totally different set of clothes, and be a different person-almost. My identity can change from what I wear. I could make myself look younger, older, mature or display different personalities.
