how does dressing affect moral standards?

Answer 1

What you put on the outside of your body has no effect on what you put within...

Answer 2

Morality lies inside a person.

If a person is kind to others, considerate, selfless, and honest, or at least tries to live with integrity, according to the standards that she or he believes are important, then in my view they are a moral person.

How a person chooses to dress is redundant to that evaluation.

How one dresses expresses a number of things, but morality is not one of them.

This question in fact implies that to display the human body is a bad or immoral thing. I don't understand this. If I was to walk down the street naked, I would still be a good person, I would just have no clothes on. I wouldn't do that, because I think it would make people uncomfortable, not to mention being cold. But there is nothing indecent about a human body. It is very strange to me that nudity is seen as obscene, but violence is shown and celebrated on most films, even those shown on TV.

If a person's morality is threatened by what someone else is wearing, then that morality is thin and wavering to start off with. A woman can't walk down the street in a short skirt without other people's morality being threatened? That's just frankly absurd. Morality is a set of rules that should be adhered to within a person. You can't impose your morality on other people, and often those who perceive others as amoral or immoral are in fact often lacking in integrity themselves.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone... and the fact is, we've all got enough to worry about in being a good person without blaming others for our own lack.

Answer 3

Dressing only affects the standards of salads

Answer 4

Ok, see now, you're only looking on the outside. How do you feel when you dress sloppy vs. dressing nice? I know for myself, If I'm walking around in baggy clothes, not seeming to care about my appearance - regardless of how others react - I, personally, do not feel as good about myself as when I dress knowing I'm looking attractive (not necessarily like a "whore" - just attractive). I'm happily married, I honestly don't care whether others find me attractive (though it's a nice ego boost) - but I FEEL better about myself when I look in the mirror and know I'm dressing the best for me. So moral standards...well, how do you feel? Do you feel more slutty if you dress slutty? Do you feel more reclusive if you dress very conservative? How you feel is (believe it or not) how you present yourself to others.

Answer 5

It doesn't
Standards of dress are almost always set by religious groups
1 As a uniform to show the world that you belong to that religin. Judaeisim at it's extreem is a good example.
2 as a means of hiding the temptations of evil from the weaker of their sect. Even after thousands of years or proof that it doesn't work they still stick to it. Muslims are a perfect example of this.

Answer 6

if you have moral standards you wouldn't dress like or whore

Answer 7

It Say's who you are how you dress. Good, Bad, Immoral, insecure, confident. It's all there. Right in front of your face.

Answer 8

it doesn't at all. moral standards are in the eye of the beholder.

Answer 9

it gives people an impression of you, sometimes the wrong impression. How you dress doesn't give people the right to treat you differently but they do.

Answer 10
