Dress to Impress

   When reading the article about a black man doing an experiment in how dressing a specific way affected others reactions towards you, it was sad that it did not surprise me when he got negative feedback when he dressed down. In today's society, if we don't follow the social norm rules, then we are not accepted. Based in how you look, it will take a person 3 seconds to decide if you are good or not. 

I'm actually glad Pedro did this experiment because it does make others realize that it is super important in how you dress and look. It was actually really sad when he began to feel uncomfortable when he dressed down and upset when people treated him rudely.

As someone who grew up in Chicago and always rode in public transportation, I have also been guilt of treating someone when dressed in a certain way. However, I would think about and it bothered me that I treated someone like that. It wasn't nice and it wasn't right for me to judge someone I did not know. I think that people need to realize that dressing a certain way does not define a person. Dressing a certain way is just a way of style and nothing more.
