The Naked and the Innocent

Fashion and style has invaded the world by storm and you have only to see the fashions worn by the actresses during the film festivals or during the presentation of academy awards to see how creative designers are in the art of designs. There are people who choose to wear decently from head to toe and there are others who feel comfortable wearing sexy cloths with barely enough cloths to cover their upper and lower parts of their bodies. They bare it all to see, to the delight of the photographers and reporters. That is but in the name of fashion. But let me bring you to the innocent side of the picture to the third world country who have never heard of the word fashion let alone understand the obscenity of their dressing. The traditional way of dressing among the women of a hill tribe was to leave the upper part of their bodies bare. They did not draw any attention among their men who went about their daily duties as they had been doing for generations. However, when they were about to be visited by some officials undertaking a study on their way of life, the young girls were told by their chieftain to hide themselves. They were safe among the men of their tribe, but there was no telling what the so called educated and civilized world would do to them. Naturally, someone who has grown up in the woods and in the company of the same stork is not going to understand the need to cover up. It would not have made sense for her to wear swim suits while she bathed. In another she is duped by a rowdy group of boys to lift up her dress, exactly the way a little girl might do thinking that this was a game. One feels immediately the pain of exploitation. I just wonder why these tribesman are not easily sexually stimulated but believe that outsiders would be stimulated by their women in bare?
