Question

State whether the following statement is True or False with reasons.

The clothes one wears is indicative of an individual’s level of modernisation.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is False.

Reason:

1. Clothing cannot reflect an individual's level of modernization because modernization is linked to the concept of rationalism.
2. In the process of modernization, there is a willingness to receive new ideas, examine alternatives, and find new ways to explore creative ways.
3. Modernization refers to the ability of critical evaluation. Persons who claim to be modern are willing to examine daily events, literature, culture, art, customs, and beliefs from a critical point of view.
4. In the process of modernization, the role of education in demolishing obsolete notions, beliefs, and superstitions has paved the way for developing a scientific temperament. As a result, modernization is associated with a rational outlook rather than with modern clothing.
