WHAT SHOULD BE OUR DRESS?
For human life, there are five basic necessities: food, clothing, shelter, medicine and education When members of a society have these necessities properly balanced and satisfied, then that society is generally considered happy.

Since very ancient times, man has used the clothes. The main purposes are: to protect body from heat and cold, maintain the modesty in public and manifest duty-position-importance in society. Here, I want to say a few words related to only civility and cultural habits.
Men and women have different fields of working. Running the home, maintain family and comfortable upbringing are the main duties of women, while earnings and protection are those of men. However, both should work together in maintaining proper household to make the life prosperous and ascend new heights.
