Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the process of normalization of nudity in public space in the context of social development and the risking of apparent civilizational progress. It highlights changing attitudes toward nudity and the diversity of the current debate. Normalization can promote self-acceptance and body positivity but also involves risks of objectification and sexualization. The article discusses the influence of social media, commercialization, and cultural or religious differences. It emphasizes the need for legal regulation, social education, and balance between progressive and conservative perspectives. The author concludes that normalization may represent progress or a potential threat, depending on how it is approached.
