Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so       in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one is that in most people’s eyes they look more professional than civilian clothes. A television repairman who appears in a uniform inspires more trust than one who doesn’t. Faith in the skill of a mechanic is      by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, or a barber to lose professional      than stepping out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical       . They save on other clothes and laundry bills. They are often more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments       uniforms is their lack of individuality. While there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act      , on the job at least.
Uniforms also       practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial cost is greater. Some uniforms are also      to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning   rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
