right but thats not to say that it doesnt do anything at all. by a person wearing a white shirt he is essentially reminding himself and showing himself that hes a part of a group with a certain set of standards. take for example someone who goes into a workplace or a flipout. people are gonna treat him different if he wears a white shirt, they arent going to discuss certain types of things with him and they wont invite him to certain outings because theres going to be an inherent recognition of what he stands for. also theres how he views himself, when a person puts on that white shirt hes identifying with those standards and so hes much less likely to do certain things. this isnt to say that you cant have a kid who wears a white shirt and does aveiros, of course that exists. but for the majority of people it sets a standard both for themselves and for other people
