Part 2/6:
The conversation begins with a critique of the casual, often sloppy attire seen in modern times, such as pajamas or sweatshirts on airplanes. The speaker questions the appeal of relaxing dress codes in situations that traditionally called for more effort and decorum. Historically, people would dress up for flights, donning gloves and hats, embracing an elegant look that conveyed respect for themselves and others. Today’s more relaxed approach often results in discomfort, fights, and a general decline in civility.
