Values

Some of my values right now in life our, money and fashions begin a college student. The culture that I would compare my values to is the African American Culture. African American could be broke but won't main about spending more money to look good. We all know that money and fashion are two of the most important necessities for the average person especially an African American.

This topic mainly focuses on African American college students. At most black schools making a fashion statement, and how much money someone has defines a person. Students spend more time determining what they going to wear to class the next day, what they going to wear to the club, or what exclusive outfit they're going to buy for homecoming, than studying for a simple test. In a way it shows that most African-American students don't have their priorities straight. Has anyone seen someone walk pass you or anybody else and they looked at that persons shoes. Ladies I heard that a pair of shoes can influence your decision on talking to someone. Why is that? Is appearance and fashion more important to you than personality? I thought college students are supposed to be broke.

There are many factors that can influence the fashion of a college student. The refund check is one. Throughout the semester students were lining up at the cashier's office to collect their refund checks. Thanks to refund checks student go out and buy things they normally couldn't afford such as cars, clothes, jewelry, cell phones, and all that other good stuff. Some students rush out and buy the latest Jordan's or Nike's in all types of colors. Shoes that ranges from $125-$165 in men. The outfit won't be complete without an authentic jersey or throwback jersey that cost from $200-300. And for females, they have to have that name brand purse, jacket, perfume, or shoe. Or they not fly.
