Concept in Definition ABC

Modesty can be described as a feeling or sensation of shame in certain situations that can vary from individual to individual. Modesty is generally what makes a person feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable performing certain tasks or activities and, therefore, seek to avoid them so as not to have to go through the suffering that they can to imply. In general, modesty is related to questions related to sex or nudity, but, nevertheless, it can be applied to many other questions of various kinds.

Clearly, for there to be a feeling of shame there must always be two parties at stake: the person who feels it and a type of audience or public whose presence is the one that generates that shame in the first person. This audience can consist of thousands of people or just one and this variation will depend on the person themselves, the space and time in which they are, possible elements of the personality of each part, etc. Thus, we could say that modesty is a social feeling insofar as it appears from the interaction between a person and other individuals.

Modesty causes a person to become modest and act in an exaggerated way of shame in situations that for other individuals may be normal. In any case, although there are circumstances that generate shame or shame in most people (such as walking naked on public roads), there are other situations that can become modest for people extremely sensitive. In these cases, modesty ends up becoming a problem since it prevents social interaction from normal and relaxed way, thus seeking to avoid such events and withdrawing more and more into oneself same.

In this sense, modesty is one of the features of our modern societies in which the permanent and constant display of perfect bodies generates much of the populationdistrust, unsafety and ashamed to show up.
