Basic needs of humans

Human beings have three basic needs. These three basic needs of human beings are clothing, food, and shelter. No matter how poor an individual is, these three things are necessities which he or she cannot do without. This explains why clothes are very important to human beings.

Why do we wear clothes?

  1. To cover our nakedness: Clothes are worn to cover our bodies, so that we do not walk about naked. Any adult who walks about naked will be seen as a mad person because it is not normal to be naked in a modern society such as ours.
  2. To keep our bodies warm: Clothes keep our bodies warm when we put them on. When the weather is cold, it is the clothes we wear that keep us from feeling too cold.
  3. To protect our bodies from injuries: Clothes protect our body from injuries. The sun at times hurts our bodies if we expose ourselves to it. Also, many harmful things that could hurt us first make contact with our clothes and this helps to prevent us from being injured.
  4. Clothes make us look attractive: It is fashionable to wear clothes. When we put on clothes, we look fine or attractive.
