Why is it that we, as Americans, think that we should define modesty for the rest of the world? Just today, I read a news article about an advertising agency in Saudi Arabia edited a swimming pool ad. The picture showed a family sitting in a pool together. But after editing, it was a father, two children and a beach ball. The mother, in typical American swim wear, was edited out.
The public outcry was immediate and loud. People laughed at the backwardness, people yelled about discrimination and people mocked. But why? Is a call for public modesty a bad thing? Why does the west, with its gutter mentality, think that everyone else should join them? 100 years ago, we in America would censor that advertisement as well. But now, in our depravity, don't see the problem.
Oh how far we have fallen.
