This debate brings up a deeper issue. The word "should" makes it dependent on the question of what is moral, or what is right and wrong. This inevitably leads to the discussion of whether what is "right" is that which is defined by society to be correct behavior (right and wrong are relative and transient), or whether what is "right" can be determined from an innate code embedded in every human "spirit" (right and wrong are absolute and permanent).
Now, this debate could be taken either direction. Assuming "right" is relative, transient and defined by society, if current standards are taken as being what is "right and wrong," being nude in public shouldn't be allowed. This is simply because it most often makes others uncomfortable, and doing as such is discouraged by said standards. However, in taking a wider view of the issue from the perspective that morality is relative, one can ask "What should societal standards of behavior be?" When evaluating this, I would conclude that societal standards of behavior should be formulated so as to allow for the smoothest operation of said society while simultaneously allowing the greatest range of personal freedom, so long as it does not infringe upon the operation of said society's functionality (opinion). This leads me to believe that societal standards should change so as to allow public nudity, as this would allow for more personal freedom and would not infringe upon said society's functionality once a societal equilibrium where nudity has been accepted into the norm has arrived. I am not going to tackle the "right and wrong are absolute" side, as my experience says that this idea is incorrect, but I encourage anyone who feels so inclined to go for it :) |
