Rogerian Argument on Dress Codes vs. Dressing Diversity

Given the articles “Dressing Diversity” by Deane and “School Dress Codes and Uniform policies” by Anderson, construct your own Rogerian argument in which you attempt to arrive at a workable solution or “middle ground.”

A Rogerian argument is one that presents two sides of a debate and argues for a solution that will satisfy both sides. Introduce the authors and their publications’ context. Include a summary of the stance presented in the articles. Your claim should address both sides of the issue, including specific points raised in the articles, and back up your claim using facts from both sides of the argument. When using direct quotations, supplement them with your own explanation of their relevance.
