Issues In Social Nudity
Social nudity such as naturism, is nudity in both public and private locations. It is sometimes controversial for addressing and exploring a myriad of sometimes taboo subjects, stereotypes and mores relating to the nude appearance of the human body. Although a range of issues are sometimes discussed, this does not necessarily mean they occur frequently.
One of the greatest challenges of naturism is increasing the participation of young adults, families, females, inner-city dwellers, and those of non-European ethnic backgrounds—all of whom are underrepresented in the naturist community. Some isolated indigenous nudity still exists in the tropics, though this way of life is highly endangered, as is the classical male "skinny dipping" amongst the general public. Modern European-style naturism began around the turn of the 20th century, and was later adapted in America as well.

“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)

“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“Nudity is the uniform of the other side ... nudity is a shroud.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
