Ceasing to Wear Ties
1 It's useless.It'sdirty.It spreads disease.That's why the British Medical Association in the UKrecently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties. 2 That leads to anotherquestion.Why does anyone wear a tie?Ties serve no purpose.They do not cover anypart of your body and keep you warm.They always seem to get covered in foodstains.Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie.It lets everyone know what youjust ate.
3 Ties have an oddhistory.Soldiers from Croatia,in Eastern Europe,served as mercenaries(雇佣军)in various conflictsin the 17th century.They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silkworn around the neck.Known as cravats(围巾),these became a popular fashion item in Franceand evertually evolved into the tie.
4 It's an interestingstory,but it doesn't tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth orsilk around their necks.The answer seems to be about identification(身份证明).In the 19th-centuryBritain,ties were used by universities,military regiments(团),sportsclubs,schools and gentleman's clubs.Each tie was in a particular set of colorswhich identified the wearer as a member of that organization.Wearing ties wasalso the mark of Britain's most powerful classes.That made the tie itself asymbol of power and respect.And that led it to be adopted by a much largerclass-the business class.
5 You cannot wear a tieif you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a manwho used his brain to make a living,rather than his hands.It showed you wereserious.It showed you were a professional.It meant that everyone who wanted ajob in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to take seriously a manwho did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millionsof people came to wear ties across the world.
6 Is there a future forties?The signs are not promising.Many political leaders,including British PrimeMinister Tony Blair,now go without ties.
