Read the introductory paragraph and answer the question in complete sentences. americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. why are uniforms so popular in the united states? how is your interest in the topic aroused?

My interest in this topic is aroused because people, as you had stated there, say they are proud of their variety and individuality but yet respect things more than a uniform. Sometimes I think that is because if a army general came in his uniform right? we would show him more respect then we would to a cleaning person who as well does lots of services. I think uniforms are so popular in the US because they determine a person's class and their lives.  It separates the different type of social groups in society and sometimes as it is seen in this century some social groups are seen higher than others.  

I hope this helps I tried to understand this question with effort.:)
