Modestia

Modesty

La modestia es un modo de vestirse y de comportarse con el fin de evitar el fomento de la atracción sexual en otros; Los estándares actuales varían ampliamente. En este uso, puede considerarse inapropiado o inmodest para revelar ciertas partes del cuerpo. Una mujer modesta se comportaría para evitar alentar la atención sexual de los hombres. En algunas sociedades, las mujeres deben cubrir su cuerpo completamente y nunca pueden hablar con hombres que no son familiares inmediatos; En otros un traje de baño bastante revelador pero de una pieza se considera modesto cuando otras mujeres usan bikinis. En algunos países, la exposición del cuerpo en violación de los estándares comunitarios de modestia también se considera indecencia pública, y la desnudez pública es generalmente ilegal en la mayor parte del mundo y considerada como exposición indecente. Sin embargo, la nudez es a veces tolerada en algunas sociedades; Por ejemplo, durante un viaje de moto desnuda mundial, mientras que un hombre solitario que intentaba caminar desnudo del sur al norte de Gran Bretaña fue encarcelado repetidamente. No se espera que los niños pequeños estén completamente vestidos en público hasta que hayan crecido. En contextos semi-públicos, las normas de modestia varían.

Modesty is a mode of dress and deportment intended to avoid encouraging sexual attraction in others; actual standards vary widely. In this use, it can be considered inappropriate or immodest to reveal certain parts of the body. A modest woman would behave so as to avoid encouraging the sexual attention of men. In some societies women must cover their bodies completely and may never talk to men who are not immediate family members; in others a fairly revealing but one-piece bathing costume is considered modest when other women wear bikinis. In some countries, exposure of the body in breach of community standards of modesty is also considered to be public indecency, and public nudity is generally illegal in most of the world and regarded as indecent exposure. However, nudity is at times tolerated in some societies; for example, during a world naked bike ride, while a lone man attempting to walk naked from south to north Britain was repeatedly imprisoned. Small children are widely not expected to be fully clothed in public until they are grown up. In semi-public contexts standards of modesty vary.
