2. Are clothes a matter of pure aesthetic taste or does it make sense for clothes to become a

subject in a discussion of ethics? Why? How about other forms of adornment, such as

tattoos and piercings?

Clothes and the other forms of adornment like tattoos and piercings are a matter of pure

aesthetic taste since these are included in "art" and aesthetic is concerned with beauty or the

appreciation of beauty. But it also make sense for them to become a subject in a discussion of

ethics since it is concerned of what is right and wrong. Not all clothes are acceptable or

appropriate in some specific places. Example, you can't or shouldn't wear swimsuits in the

church. That is very unethical. For me, tattoos and piercings anywhere but I guess it depends on

what kind of tattoo is it and where is it located, same with piercings.
