Why do People Wear Clothes? Clothing 1101 MODESTY
Modesty Definition • the quality of not being too proud or confident about yourself or your abilities • Ex- How do you act with someone praises you? • Do you say a simple thank you, or do you brag and attract attention? In relation to clothing: • : the quality of behaving and especially dressing in moderate ways that do not attract sexual or unwanted attention
#2: Modesty • Modesty deals with proper dress in a community- where to wear a particular garment, and how much that garment covers the body. • Example.: • School vs.The Beach • Funeral vs. Dance Party
In many cultures, a man's and woman's’ body is to be completely covered. • In other cultures, people may wear only the slightest garments.
Modesty is governed in a way a community thinks about the human body and its dignity. • Some cultures feel that it is more dignified to cover the body. • Other cultures feel that displaying the body is the best way to honor it.
Examples: • In the Middle East long robes for both men and women, and veils for women, are considered the correct garments to wear.
Example #2: • In the South Seas Islands of the Pacific, short skirts for men and women, and no covering of the women’s breasts are considered correct and modest
Evolution of Modesty • Cultures and societies are often evolving. What may be considered “modest” during one particular time frame may not apply to another time frame. • Example: consider ‘modest’ wedding gowns
