Courtesy , sometimes known as demureness , is a dress and deportation mode that aims to avoid sexually motivated others. The word "simplicity" comes from the Latin root meaning "keep in size". Standards of decency depend on culture and context and vary greatly. In this use, it may be considered inappropriate or impolite to reveal certain parts of the body. In some societies, modesty may involve women who cover their bodies completely and do not talk to men who are not members of the immediate family; elsewhere, bathing suits are quite open but one piece is considered simple when another woman is wearing a bikini. In some countries, body exposure in violation of public courtesy standards is also considered public indecency, and public nudity is generally illegal in most parts of the world and is considered an indecent exposure. For example, Stephen Gough a man who tried to walk naked from south to north of England was repeatedly imprisoned. However, nudity is sometimes tolerated in some societies; for example, during the World Naked Bike Ride.
In the semi-public context the standard of decency varies. Nudity is acceptable in the common sex change rooms in the pool, for example, or for a male mass medical examination for military service. Personally, the default return depends on the circumstances. A person who will never loose the cloak in the presence of a doctor of the opposite sex in a social context may undoubtedly do so for a medical examination; others may allow checks, but only by people of the same sex.

Body
Standard courtesy prevents or prohibits the exposure of parts of the body, varying between peoples, which may include areas of skin, hair, underwear, and intimate parts. The standards may also require obscure the shape of the body or parts by wearing clothes that do not fit the form. There is also a habit of changing clothes (such as on beaches without enclosed facilities), and closing or locking doors when changing or bathing.
Standards of decency vary by culture or generation and vary depending on who is exposed, which parts of the body are exposed, the duration of exposure, the context, and other variables. The categories of people who can see the body of others may include:
- pair or spouse,
- friends or family members of the same gender,
- strangers of the same gender
The context will include things like being at home, at the home of another family member, at a friend's house, in a semi-public place, on the beach, a swimming pool (including whether those places are considered optional clothing), a dressing room or other public places. For example, wearing a swimsuit on the beach would not be considered rude, while it would likely be on the street or office.
Excessive courtesy is called prudishness. As a medical condition, it is also called gymnophobia. Excessive irreverence is called exhibitionism.

Courtesy in medical settings
In public or private emergencies, simple clothing expectations may be suspended if necessary. For example, during a suspect of anthrax attacks in 1998 and 2001 in the United States, a group of people had to undress in a tent set up in a parking lot and other public places to be sprayed by the fire department. On the other hand, even in emergency situations, some people can not ignore their need to hide their bodies, even at the risk of their lives. This may apply to decontamination after chemical or biological attacks, where the release of contaminated clothing is important, or escape from the night fire without time to dress.
Dressing
Most discussions about decency involve clothing. The criteria for decency and decency have been relaxed continuously in most parts of the world since the nineteenth century, with shorter, more fitting, and more open clothing and swimsuits, more for women than men. Most people wear clothing that they deem inappropriate inappropriate acceptance for religion, culture, generation, opportunity, and people present. Some wore clothing that they deemed impolite, due to exhibitionism, the desire to create an erotic impact, or for publicity.
Normally-accepted western norm
Proper decency depends on context and place. For example, in a single-locker room, nudity is often accepted.
In the West and some other societies, there are differences of opinion about how much body exposure is accepted in public. In contemporary western societies, the extent to which a woman can expose the cleavage depends on the social, cultural and regional context. Women's swimsuits and bikinis can usually reveal the top and sides of the breast, or they may be topless as is common on the beaches of the French Riviera. Showing cleavage is permissible in many settings, and even a sign of elegance and sophistication on many formal social occasions, but may be considered inappropriate in settings such as workplaces, churches and schools. Shows the nipple or areola is almost always considered nudity or partially naked. However, in some circumstances, partial partial exposure can be formally approved in the church as in 2014, the newly elected Pope Francis made remarks around the world when he encouraged mothers to breastfeed in churches if their babies were hungry.
In private homes, the standard of decency applies selectively. For example, nudity among close family members at home can occur, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms, and wearing underwear only in ordinary homes.
In many cultures it is unacceptable to bare the butt in public; deliberately doing so is sometimes intended as an insult. In public, Western courtesy standards expect people to cover their genitals, and women to cover their breasts. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, public breastfeeding became increasingly accepted, sometimes protected by law. President Barack Obama's health care bill of 2010 provides additional support for breastfeeding mothers, which requires employers to provide personal and sheltered space for employees to use for nurses.
Since the 1980s it has become more common for young and/or fashionable women in Western societies to wear clothing that showcases the hilt, "shorts," backless, sheer and other styles of superiors are considered rude.
Gender differences
Men and women are subject to different courtesy standards in dress. While men and women, in Western culture, are generally expected to keep their genitals covered at all times, women are also expected to keep their breasts closed. Some parts of the body are usually more covered by men than women - for example, stomach and upper back. Organizations such as the Topfree Equal Rights Association advocate for gender equality of body view. In 1992, the Supreme Court of the State of New York accepted the 14th Amendment argument and imposed a provision in New York's Personal Exposure law that made it illegal for women to open their chests where men were allowed to do so.
Traditional custom
Traditional indigenous cultures, such as some Australian Aboriginal and traditional Australian cultures, are more relaxed on clothing issues, although how much clothing is expected varies greatly, from nothing to some women, to everything except penis glans to men of several tribes. In some African cultures, body painting is considered body coverage, and is considered by many clothes.
Modesty should not be associated with having more clothing especially in the case of indigenous tribes. Some feel exposed when seen in certain clothing even though normal clothes are much more open. Having earplugs or lips is seen as simple with the opposite is also true.
Religious traditions
Most of the world's religions seek to overcome the moral problems arising from the sexuality of people in society and in human interaction. Every major religion has developed a moral code that includes issues of sexuality, morality, ethics etc. In addition to other aspects of sexuality, these moral codes seek to regulate situations that may engender a sexual interest and affect the behavior and practice of the person who can arouse that interest. , or exaggerate one's sexuality. These religious codes always have a strong influence on the attitudes of people to the problem of decency in dress, behavior, speech etc.
Buddhism
Modesty in dressing is important in Buddhism. The Sekhiya Code of the Buddhist code, for example, provides guidance on the proper dresses and the recommended dressing methods for monks.
I will wear a cloak underneath [the top robe] wrapped around (me): a training to observe.
I will not go [sitting] with a cloak that is installed in the occupied area: a training to be observed.
The above-mentioned 'cloak' robe refers to lifting one or two pieces of robes, exposing both sides or both sides of a person's body to other humans in the inhabited areas. Such an attitude is not recommended to the monks. Outside of monks, Buddhist belief is that modesty has a refining quality for all people.
Christianity
According to the New Testament, (1 Peter 3: 3-4) The decorator should not decorate it out of hair, wear gold, or wear clothing; But let it be a human being hidden from the heart, in the incorruptible, even the ornament of a gentle and calm spirit, which is before God at an expensive price.
(1 Timothy 2: 9) In the same way, that women adorn themselves with simple clothes, with shame and calm; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or expensive arrays;
Catholic Church
Catholics are expected to dress modestly; it is recognized that the forms taken by decency vary from one culture to another. Wearing a Christian headscarf at Mass is for the first time mandated as a universal rule for the Latin Rite by Canonic Law of 1917, annulled by the 1983 Kanon Law Act. In addition, there is never any "official" guidance issued by the Catholic Church. But from time to time the hierarchy of the Church, and several popes, has given opinions on various things; although these guides are not binding, they are often followed. Pope Pius XII states that women should cover their upper arms and shoulders, that their skirts should cover at least as far as the knee, and the neckline should not reveal anything. Giuseppe Cardinal Siri of Genoa states that trousers are unacceptable for women. Many traditional Catholics have sought to expand further on this last standard.
Some Catholics have sought to form a cohesive theory of modesty. Sometimes this comes from a sociological perspective, while at other times a more systematic approach, the Thomistic approach, is combined with the writings of the Church Fathers. A debating approach primarily of traditional practice and traditional authority, such as the Saints, can also be found.
Around 1913, it became fashionable for a dress to be worn with a simple round or V-shaped neckline. In the German Empire, for example, all Roman Catholic bishops joined in issuing pastoral letters that attacked new modes.
The Catholic Legion of Decency has been active since 1933 in monitoring morally unpleasant content in the film. He has cursed a number of films including some because of the clothes worn. For example, the Legion has condemned the look of cleavage in The Outlaw (1941) and on The French Line (1954).
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has issued an official statement about simple clothing for its members. Clothes such as "shorts and short skirts, shirts that do not cover the belly, and clothes that do not cover the shoulders or cut low on the front or back" are not recommended. Men and women are also encouraged to avoid extremes in clothing or hairstyles. The rules of decency also include women being asked to wear nothing more than a pair of earrings. Women are generally expected to wear skirts or dresses for church services. Most LDS members do not wear sleeveless shirts or shorts that do not reach the knees.
The church-funded university, Brigham Young University (BYU), requires BYU students and tenants to sign an agreement to live up to this courtesy standard.
Other Churches
Many other Trinitarian Christians also consider it essential, although there is considerable disagreement about its terms and objectives.
Historically, the communicants of traditional Christian denominations (including Anglican, Baptist, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, Orthodox Oriental, and Reformed), women wearing a Christian headscarf during worship, or, at all times, according to their interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11: 2-16; although this practice has faded in some parts of the world, as in North America, it is common in other regions, such as Eastern Europe and South Asia.
Many Anabaptist Christians, such as Amish groups and some Mennonite groups such as the Conservative Mennonites, are known for their loyalty to plain clothes, simple fashion styles. The Conservative Quakers (Sahabat Religious Association) are also dressed in the same way as part of their simplicity testimony. Christianity Christianity, like the Bible Methodist Connection of Churches, also has a guide on simple clothing, in accordance with the Wesleyan-Arminian doctrine of outer holiness. Many Christian communist groups choose to dress clearly, holding symbols as an outward symbol of the refusal of pride and worldliness. The Hutterites and Bruderhof, the two Christian deliberate communities are from the Anabaptist tradition, wearing simple clothing (often plain clothes), and women wearing a Christian headscarf.
Hinduism
The premise and concept of decency have developed under Hinduism. During the Vedas, both women and men wear at least two closed, largely indistinguishable, voluntary and flexible clothing. Clothes sewn like skirts and corsets are also common in the Vedic period. However, decency is not dictated by religious teachings, but by local traditions, social codes, professions, circumstances and opportunities. Pieces of clothes packed for women evolved into the only fabric wrapped in Hindu India, now called sari; but still two or more pieces in Southeast Asia Hinduism. For men, the draped dress into one piece is now called by various names like dhoti, lungi , pancha , laacha and other names among Indians. Hindu, and kamben among Balinese Hindus.
The Hindu belief, says Christopher Bayly, is that modesty through proper clothing has the energy to transmit the spirit and substance in social discourse, it serves as a means of expression or celebration, with some makeup elements such as saffron yarn or white dress worn. by men as moral, transformative and the means to identify and communicate a person's social role in a meeting, or a person's life circumstances such as mourning in the days or weeks after the death of a loved one.
The canon of modesty for Hindus in South Asia underwent a significant change with the arrival of Islam in the 12th century. The Islamic rulers apply the dress code in a public place for Hindu dhimmis, in accordance with their Islamic customs. The sari is worn by Hindu women extended to give the veil, as well as a complete cover of her navel and legs. At the beginning of the 18th century, Tryambakayajvan - a court official in south central India - issued a decree called Stridharmapaddhati . The underlined rule requires a dress code for orthodox Hindus in the region. Stridharmapaddhati links social trends with Hinduism to put new rules on modesty for women, but gives men much freedom.
The concept of modesty evolved again during the colonial period when British rule required Indians to wear dresses to help identify and separate local indigenous populations. Bernard Cohn and others argue that clothing during the colonial era became part of India's broader problem of respect, honor and modesty, with a dress code deliberately directed by the government to reflect the nature of the relationship between the British ruler and the Indian ruler. The British colonial empire, encouraging and occasionally requiring Indians to dress in the 'oriental way', to help define and uphold the sense of decency, identify the relative roles and social status of a person. Among Hindus in Indonesia, the practice of toplessness received among teenage Hindu girls changed during the Dutch colonial period, with women now wearing blouses or colorful outfits.
Shrine
In most Hindu temples, there is hope of modesty rather than sexual seduction. Men and women usually wear traditional attire during religious ceremonies and rituals at the temple, with women wearing sari or local Indian outfits. In Indonesia and Cambodia, visitors to Hindu temples are often asked to wrap their waist with a piece of traditional cloth called Current trends
Hindu people have varying views on decency, with significant regional and local variations. Among orthodox Hindu populations, sexually expressing clothing or any sexual behavior in public or before foreigners are considered rude, especially in rural areas. In contrast, god clothes and other symbolism in Hindu temples, discussion of clothing and erotism in ancient Hindu literature, and Hindu artwork can explicitly celebrate human erotism and sexuality.
In general, ignoring modesty can be confusing or sad, especially for traditional Hindu women. Even in the context of health care, some Hindu women may express reluctance to undress for examination. If removal is required, the patient may prefer to be treated by a doctor or nurse of the same gender.
Islam
Islam strongly emphasizes the concept of modesty and decency. In many authentic hadiths, it has been cited that "decency is part of faith". Modesty is indispensable in the interaction between members of the opposite sex and in some cases between same-sex members as well. The dress code is part of the whole teaching.
Female
"And tell the believing women to throw their eyes and keep their private parts and not expose their jewelry except what [comes] out of it and to wrap [some of] their heads on their chests and not expose their jewelry except for their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, their daughters, possessed by their right hand, or male servants who have no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the personal aspects of women. "-Quran 24:31.
"O Prophet! Tell your wife, your daughter, and her adherents that: they have to lower their own jalabib." -Quran 33:59. Jalabib is an Arabic word meaning "loose outerwear".
In some Muslim societies, women wear niqab, sheets covering all faces except the eyes, or full burqa, clothing covering the whole body that sometimes covers the eyes. Wearing these outfits is common in some, but not all, countries with a majority Muslim population.
Although by some experts this expression of decency is interpreted as mandatory, most countries do not impose modesty by law. However, some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Iran, uphold the prescribed clothing standards for women.
Men
"Tell the believers to cast their gaze and take care of their private parts, that is purer for them, indeed, God [is] well acquainted with what they do." -Quran 24:30
Most scholars agree that men are required to cover everything from navel to knee; some men also choose to wear traditional Islamic hats (taqiyah), similar to but larger than the Jew or Kippah yarmulke. Taqiyah can vary in shape, size and color, with differences according to tradition, region, and personal taste.
Judaism
The simplicity in Judaism, called Tzniut, is important outside the clothing aspect. It extends to the behavior in public and in person, and depends on the context.
Women's
Orthodox Jews and ultra-Orthodox Jews usually wear skirts to their knees, with blouses covering the collarbone and arms that come to or cover the elbows. Translucent materials should not be used and clothing is not expected to be tight, provocative, noisy, or display text. These rules are relaxed to allow color and text in less strict communities. Some modern Orthodox communities allow the collarbone to be displayed (as long as the cleavage is closed), and the arm does not reach the elbow. There are many different opinions on this issue. Some communities apply this standard to girls as young as three years. Conscientiously less conservative Judaism recommends simple clothing, but this is not widely observed. The less strict branches of Judaism tend to adopt the modes of society in which they live.
It is customary for a devout orthodox Jewess married woman to cover her hair in public, and sometimes at home. The haircut may be a scarf, hat, snood called Tichel, or a wig called Sheitel.
Women who do not follow all the rules in everyday life, often do so during religious celebrations in synagogues or elsewhere.
Male
Standards of decency also apply to men. While some men will wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts, many very careful Orthodox men will not do it.
Cross-cultural and non-religious
Some individuals adopt standards of decency from other groups or standards of previous generations. Examples include Noahides who follow Jewish law but are not Jewish themselves.
In the art field
Standards of decency in art vary at different times and in different places. Nudity and various types of behavior are sometimes described, sometimes not. In many cases where people do not allow bare or disrespectful clothing, nudity is accepted in art. Where nudity in art is unacceptable, full nudity is not displayed; if not, the naked subject hides his private part with accidental, accidental fabric, flowers, others, figs, etc. In the movie, very short nudity is received. Some nude artworks have fig leaves added when the standard becomes less permissive.
In some societies the criteria vary according to circumstances; for example artwork on the public display is more controllable than a private view for adults.
Nudity in art is sometimes advised without actual description by:
- something that seems to accidentally cover the parts of the body that should be covered simply
- in the movie:
- shows the person allegedly naked from the waist or shoulders upward
- maneuver (rotate, have objects in front) and edit in such a way that no visible genitals
- show nudity from a distance, or from behind it, even if other characters are near and/or will also see frontal nudity
- shows a very short nudity
In cartoons, even in cases where the genital area is not covered with clothing, the genitals are often not drawn, as in Family Guy and other animated sitcoms. In the movie Lumbung , showing anthropomorphized cows of both sexes running on two legs, instead of either showing the male genitalia of cattle or not showing them, the concept of "bulls" is used, with udder. In Underdog , the partially animated anthropomorphic dogs are displayed with the penis when the original dog is filmed, and without the penis in the animation section.
Painting sometimes changes because the standard of modesty is changed, and then sometimes changes back. During the Counter-Reformation there was a "fig leaf campaign" aimed at encompassing all representations of the human genitals in paintings and sculptures that began with Michelangelo's works. The work covered in this way includes the marble statue of Cristo della Minerva (church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Rome) covered by additional curtains, as left today, and the statue of the naked son of Jesus in Madonna of Bruges (Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium) has remained closed for decades. Also, a copy of David's cast in the Court of Cast (Victoria and Albert Museum) in London, has a fig leaf in a box behind a statue. It is there to be placed on the genitals of the statue so they will not be angry visiting the royalty of women. The Achilles statue in Hyde Park Corner now has a strange figleaf attached permanently, after being stolen several times.
Many fairy tales and other related media show women from or ethnic origin from Western Europe and Northern Europe to be polite because of their delicate characteristic. Notable examples include Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood, Wendy Darling from Peter Pan, Maid Marian of Robin Hood, Christine DaaÃÆ' Â © The Phantom of the Opera, Ophelia from Hamlet, and Dorothy Gale from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
