Public Nudity

Recently, there has been conversation and actually a vote in San Francisco over the right to public nudity. I found this out after reading an article on CNN's website titled "San Francisco approves nudity ban; protestors strip down" and I was quite fascinated by the debate because I did not think one would even exist. It seems like common sense that we would wear clothes in public and almost always in private too just because that’s the social norm. The people that were protesting the brought up an interesting point though by opposing this agreement amongst San Francisco authorities. I mean who is in charge of deciding what is right and wrong? Just because the social norm is to be properly clothed in public does not mean it is necessarily wrong to be nude in public. There was a time way back when where we did not necessarily wear clothes around. Now I am not really advocating being nude in public because, personally, I like to wear clothes in public and seeing people naked in public is a little awkward. But that does not mean that I necessarily dictate what other people can do in public. It is an interesting topic and I thought I would share this to get different point of views on the topic.
