But what I do know is that for most part, culture is something that comes onto you by what you see and learn. For example, coming up with something completely new (could be a totally haphazard idea) is indirectly influenced by culture, where it is the practice to admire or to feel better/recognized with innovative dress ideas. Why would one want to express his/her self if there is no one to express to? So the observation by others within a group or society is a matter too. There is something more than self-satisfaction to it. True. Two parts to it:1. What makes a selected form of attire unfavorable in the eyes of others may not always be on cultural norms, it may involve simple ethics, like dressing in a way not showing one's nuts (if you know what I mean)2. Collective criticism may not always apply to one's ideas of attire, if he/she does not indulge her/himself within that group of critics for others too. It would not instill the parameters by which a badly clad individual is recognized and 'condemned' of. This is afterall, as you say an 'art of self-expression'. So why be afraid to act accordingly if one fears the idea of being criticized by someone else, the same way one would have done to another?True. One's liberty should not be manipulated by others. But in cases where the acts of an individual performed within the context of his/her liberty, affects or acts to the trouble or disturbance of others, then I believe third party has some right to influence the extent to which one could do things, a.k.a freedom; but then again this would not be out of cultural implications, although it may be used as a cover to be polite in expressing resistance. For instance, consider an excessively hairy woman comes to a club in a mini-skirt (the idea of hairy being grotesque has evolved through culture too,anyway) it would trouble the minds of certain individuals, right?? what do you think they should do?Yes. It was merely in example. Not recommended as an operative.</blockquote>
