1st reflection (UFS111)

Reflection about PDA and Love 



PDA (Public Display Affections)
Public display affections means show relationship towards people and show loves to couple, family or friends. Other than that, PDA means showing public about your feeling, loving, caring and etc.PDA are acts of physical intimacy in the view of others. What are acceptable displays of affection be different between cultures as well as to time and context? Which acts are acceptable have also varied over time. Displays of affection in a public place, such as the street, is more likely to be objected to, then similar practices in a private place with only people from a similar cultural background present. Mild forms of physical intimacy, such as holding hands, hugging or kissing, are regarded as unobjectionable forms of public displays of affection in many cultures and contexts, but objectionable in others. Maintaining eye contact can be regarded socially and psychologically as analogous to touching in some cultures.
In India, the public display of affection is a criminal offense under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 with a punishment of imprisonment of up to three months, or a fine, or both. This law has been used by the police and lower courts to harass and prosecute couples engaging in PDAs. However in a number of landmark cases the higher courts have dismissed obscenity proceeding against kissing couples. Attacks by vigilante groups also are a danger for those displaying affection.
In most of the Western world, such as Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States, it is very common to see people holding hands, hugging and kissing in public. In nightclubs, it is also common for people to "grind" (a form of dancing) or dance closely
For me showing PDA is not good because of showing the affection on the public is unnecessary things to do. We have to shows the feelings to our couple without to show off to public even though they are husband and wife.

Love
Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.
In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of or to the emotional closeness of familial love.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
