It may be in your family, lol :nervous:
I love 50-60's style, but I find 80's more demoralizing than 2012. But, things change, evolve, wait for the foto in 2035, you may be surprised.
Can you imagine the differences ???? demoralization[/QUOTE] And what about now?? I look in the mirror and even the crack gets longer, like its trying to run away?
Why are you baffled ??? I am making a simple point.
The people in the DR are not as demoralized as the people in the US. Said demoralization tends to be reflected in how one presents oneself to the world .i.e. - style of dress and grooming.
SIGNS of Demoralization include:
sloppy, dirty, disheveled, torn, wrinkled clothing
abusive actions to the body: excessive piercing - tattoos
poor hygiene- skin, nails, teeth
gender inappropriate/confused clothing and styles
clothing worn that expresses hostility or other signs psychological distress....
poor body health: OBESITY or excessive skinniness - bulimia - i.e. eating disorders[/QUOTE]
tattoo a sign of being demoralized? really? my younger son has a tattoo that covers his entire torso, and his arms. he is not demoralized. when you can reject 5 offers of over 230,000 dollars per year in salary, plus performance bonuses, and you still are not 30 years old, it takes a lot to demoralize you.
I am sitting in an internet cafe in central Brooklyn we speak. On the avenue - masssive amounts of:
Obesity -
Disheveled dress
Nonsensical-irrational hair coloring - by females in particular (males too)
Abuse to body: excessive piercing: eyebrow,lip,cheek, nose, tongue - on the same face !
-Tattoo - on neck, chest/breast(exposed), shoulder, forearm, etc - (on the females in particular!!)
Hair: left side long/ right side shaved -
Men and boys: grungy looking, unshaved, scruffy (regardless of race - the white guys all look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo)
most especially Af-Am: extremely low riding pants exposing buttocks and or ofter dingy looking underwear.

Excessive tattooing is typically a sign psychological distress reflecting the desire to:
-inflict physical pain on oneself
-to cover one self up OR change one self in a way that is deeper than just fashion due to underlying anxiety/disatisfaction.
-express anti-social - often time hostile sentiment to the world.
Geez, and I got abused for making 140,000 at age 36 or so...230,000 at age 30? Nope, they won't believe you..LOL if so, take it!! don't be silly!! if you don't need the money, put it in some CD or whatever for your kids..By Bonds! I had quite a few of those from my Grandparents (God RIP) when I turned 18, bought my first car....1973 Chevy Nova...What rat! filled it up with oil, took one pint of gas and off I went thinking I was badass....Kids..

With all due respect kdolo, I'm going to go out on a limb here and recommend a little of the Ganja for whatever it is that is obviously ailing you......
It MAY help you understand how important it can be to, every now and again, LIVE AND LET LIVE.

he is not taking any of the offers. he has bigger fish to fry in 3 years. so, he will take less today, and wait for the bigger catch.
It can be challenging but honestly there are people like you hear, they're just not as obvious because they hang out in different places then the average Dominican, sometimes in their house with friends etc, color is an issue hear if you make it, but most Dominicans see past your color once they know you, in my experience
Oh Boy ! We go from a simple discussion on society to dare I say ad hominem attacks by people who appear to not even understand the conversation. Wow !
1.
All humans self medicate: beer, drinks, herb, sugar, mushrooms, etc, etc, etc, - that is perfectly normal.
In excess however, it can be an indicator of extreme psychological distress that the consumers are suffering.
i.e. Central Brooklyn: Line at the corner store with people buying Phillies blunts ......@ 7 in the morning !! -
Rural Tennesee: the scourge of Hillbilly Heroin
The "better classes": Pharmaceuticals: prozac, SSRIs - etc. some estimates up to 70% of Americna women are on them.......
Jamaica: .....self explanatory.
But, back to the original point: we were talking about Dr, US, clothing as an expression of psycological state etc..
