The article discusses the challenges faced by employees at an amusement park in adhering to strict dress codes. It highlights the resentment and frustration experienced by employees who defy these standards while underscoring the moral importance of self-expression. The piece also connects these dress codes to broader issues of cultural imperialism and racial discrimination, particularly how standards of professionalism often devalue the natural appearance of marginalized groups. This raises important questions about fairness, identity, and the meaning of professionalism in contemporary society.
