Society says nudity is wrong. Here's why.
"Naked Norm"28 Feb 2025

Society says nudity is wrong. Here's why.

Norm and Sophie dig into the question of why society thinks nudity is wrong. They reframe the question by instead asking, "is nudity bad?". It's an interesting shift in perspective when posed this way.

This episode firstly investigates the formation, maintenance, and evolution of societal norms, considering the influence of power structures, biases, and historical context. It discusses whether norms should be based on inherent good and bad and how social norms can be manipulated. The episode also examines the complexities of cultural standards and their implications for individual and collective well-being and the need for critical evaluation when establishing norms. Norm and Sophie's research also analyzes attitudes toward social nudity, exploring arguments for and against its normalization in Western cultures. It acknowledges both potential benefits like increased body positivity and potential drawbacks such as social discomfort and the risk of sexual harassment. Their research underscores the tension between individual expression and societal expectations.
