Murphy's Law
Murphy's law means that things always develop towards to the bad direction which you don’t expect as long as there is the possibility. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it. It can be understood that anything whose risk is greater than zero, we can't assume that it will not happen. For example, there are two keys in your pocket, one is your room’s key, another is your cars. If you want to take the car’s key out, what would happen? Of course, you are often take out of the room’s key instead. According to Murphy's law, we could say: anything is not so simple as its surface; all things will be longer than you expected;things can wrong will go wrong;if you worry about a case, it is more likely to happen.
Fashion and Social Status
I think fashion is largely relevant to one's social status. Different levels of people must have a different level of life. Fashion definitely affects social status due to the cost associated with the type or brand of clothing a person wears. For example, a person wearing clothing made by Giorgio Armani, a designer label, may be perceived as wealthy because this person is able to afford these expensive clothes. In contrast, a person wearing a shirt from Walmart may be seen as having a lower social status because Walmart is known for their low prices. Clothes are just one aspect. Car is also a symbol of the difference. Many bosses think that if you don't drive a BMW, so you will be looked down by others, because it is a symbol of social status. If we think deeply,we will find a problem that people should have no chance and ideas to the pursuit of fashion with a general standard of living.。
