Being In The Nudist Community

Improved Essays
I have always been the person that never liked clothing very much. At the ripe age of 18, I came across my true self, and began to embrace every part of it. At first, it was a little awkward being part of a group who prefers to be in the nude. You sure see a lot more vulnerable side of people, considering being in the nude is the most vulnerable state for humans. Once, you get past the voices in your head repeating “what are you doing? You look ridiculous,” you see the true beauty in it. For the first time I actually felt accepted for who I am, and that is a remarkable experience. Being in the Nudist community has taught me to love myself and love others, every-body is beautiful in every aspect. The Community of Nudists is full of inspiration

    I sometimes face adversity but it is never as serious as Melinda’s. Some people will bully me or judge me for what I am wearing. I try not to pay attention to people that say these things because I wear what I want to wear. I also wear it because I like the clothes or shoes that I buy and if other people do not like that it is not my problem. If other people want to judge and say what I want to wear is not right or it is ugly, I do not really care if that's what they think.…

    At the end of the day when the clothes come off, how comfortable are you with your body? In Horace Miner’s satire of American life, he recognizes that, “The fundamental belief underlying the whole system appears to be that the human body is ugly…” (Miner); and with all the billboards, television ads, and magazines that project unrealistic photo-shopped standards of beauty, it is understandable why many members of society are obsessed with modifying their appearance. Society spends countless dollars on clothes, make-up, and numerous other beauty regimens, but what happens when all of our temporary tricks and tools no longer satisfy our desires to alter our appearance? From ritualistic to purely cosmetic, the act of body modification has transformed…

    At Capilano University we do have some days when many students will agree together that they may all wear pajamas and it will be considered a social norm for that day, this proves that “the leading [social] norms [are] capable of promoting cooperation [of the social norm] depend[ing] on the community size” (Santos, F. P., Santos, F. C., & Pacheco, J. M) ; meaning, people can make anything a social norm if a large enough community has agreed upon it. I had made it a point to see my friends in public wearing my pajamas to see their reaction towards my “out of the social norm outfit” (Hajaghaie). I placed myself in two scenarios, the first scenario before I met up with two of my friends I had previously texted them that “I would be wearing an…

    Throughout the past election cycle, I have experienced many degrading comments and accusations of being a racist because of my political opinions. Although some of these comments may not mean any harm, I have taken them to heart. I am a conservative, and because of my view, some people with opposing viewpoints accuse me of racial intolerance. I can proudly say that I am not and have never been a racist or misogynist. All people have equal rights expressed in the constitution and I believe they should be treated as such.…

    Four months here and I still can remember my first day coming to this island to teach the the Hawaiians about Christianity. Going on a long and difficult journey, smelling the crisp air coming from the amazing islands of Oahu. Hurtling of that cranky and rusty boat I saw the beautiful palm trees dancing in the breeze.

    I was born a woman; probably my father wasn’t so happy about my gender. Perhaps he wanted a boy named after him. I can’t remember my first thought as a baby, but I’m sure I wasn’t able to distinguish between males and females, or the fact that the doctor was a male and the nurse was a female. I just knew I wanted to love and be loved regardless of my race, sex, or religion. My friend Melissa was raped, and it was her fault.…

    Senioritis It was the second day of my senior year, my alarm clock starting going off and I looked over, with my eyes still trying to process what was going on, and it read 6:30 a.m. I rolled back over and put the covers over my head and fell back asleep. I realized that I was ill and senioritis had made its way to me and the symptoms were very clear. Senioritis is a disease that was finally established in the early 20th century, usually striking high school and college students causing: laziness, lack of studying, decline in motivation, repeated absences, dismissive attitude, and over wearing of sweats. The only cure for this disease is graduation.…

    I enjoy getting dressed up for fancy events. I feel uncomfortable in crop tops that are cropped too much and skirts/shorts that or too short. While I never think too hard when shopping at the mall, it is quite apparent to me that my fashion choices are not actually so personal to me. In fact, the items in my closet can be described as more or less “feminine.” I dress the way I do because it feels comfortable to me.…

    Walk into anyone’s closet, and you might just get a glimpse of their character or personality. What one wears can potentially define who they are. In most cases, this can be seen as true for employees such as businessmen in suits and ties, or construction workers in baggy jeans and t-shirts. Clothing is something that has become a necessity overtime. It not only defines people, but also shows the evolution of history.…
