#3 Different cultures

I read an article about clothing in different cultures, and also how it compares to ours. They said clothing is just becoming more and more common. You will find jeans and a t-shirt everywhere. Their are still types of dressing that reflect your culture that people wear. They are making an exhibit about clothing and their heritages. Clothing from every continent of the world will be their. This would be a really cool thing to see because you could have much more of a feel for the other countries in this world. I feel like Americas clothes don't mean as much to us as other cultures, for instance. In Norway a blouse called a brooch and it's reflectivity is believed to ward off demons. In America we don't really have clothing that has meaning like that. I think it would be really cool to check this exhibit out. It's kind of a bummer that all the cultures are staring to become simple and all just going with the jeans and t-shirts. But I guess whatever is comfy?
