MODESTY: Embracing this Godly Virtue in our Dressing.


 Modesty, sometimes known as demureness, is a mode of dress and deportment which intends to avoid the encouraging of sexual attraction in others. The word modesty comes from the Latin word modestus which means 'keeping within measure'.

In this use, revealing certain body parts is considered inappropriate, thus immodest. In conservative Middle Eastern societies, modesty may involve women completely covering their bodies with a burqa and not talking to men who are not immediate family members. In Christian Anabaptist and similar sects, it may involve women wearing only ankle-length skirts, blouses up to the collar, and often a small head covering or shawl. Among both and others, a one-piece swimsuit may be considered modest while wearing a bikini is not. In most countries, exposure of the body in breach of community standards of modesty, as well as public nudity, is considered indecent exposure and is usually punished by law.


Nudity may be acceptable in public single-sex changing rooms at swimming baths, for example, or for mass medical examinations of military personnel. A person who would never disrobe in the presence of the opposite sex in a social context might unquestioningly do so for a medical examination, while others might allow such examination but only by a person of the same sex.


Overall, standards of modesty vary widely around the world because of sociocultural and contextual differences and particular situations


The rate at which IMMORAL DRESSING grows in our society is alarming and need to be addressed urgently, as this is against the principles of the society. Young people must know that indecent dressing do not improve one’s beauty; rather, it dents ones image and it’s also a show of rebellion but these has become a way of dressing that is common among the people in our society especially the female one’s.


“Dress the way you want to be address” is a popular maxim far and wide, but the question is, is the wisdom the maxim teaches ever adhered to?

My fellow steemians the fact is the way one dresses determines the way he or she will be addressed. If a person dresses properly and decently, he or she will definitely attract respect and the person’s dignity will be protected, but when one is indecently dressed, he or she will attract disrespect, harassment and can even be rape which has been the experience of most indecent dressers.

A dress is said to be indecent if it is morally and sexually offensive. It entails the exposure of one’s body to the public. Many youth are exposed to mode of dressing which they observe on television or social media where they see celebrities dress indecently and they try to emulate them. Most celebrities, while on stage, wear all sorts of clothes like pants, miniskirts, bumper shorts, tight trousers and some even wear their trousers on their waist, a style now referred to as sagging. The youth tend to dress this way in order to be like the celebrities they see on television, thereby ignoring their pride with respect to the way one should dress in order to be addressed with respect and value, all in the name of fashion

*The mass media also should do more to promote decent dressing in the society. Since internet has taken over and youths are on the internet everyday. Please the media should promote decent dressings instead of publicicy indecent dresses.

*Religious institutions should always promote the culture of decent dressing.
