Abstract

The human body is constructed biologically but my point is human identification, nature, attitudes, gestures etc. are erected and measured by socially. A society shaped and maintained bodily gestures and tried to fit them into society. Socio-cultural situation and atmosphere played an important role and sharp impact on human body. In this paper, I tried to explore how humans body shaped, constructed and regulated by everyday life of our society and how different parts of society closely associated with the human body.
