Power of Culture on Public Displays of Affection: An Observation How do you display affection? Some people detest PDA – public displays of affection – with a furious passion whereas others embrace their fondness and feelings to their partner in public. What causes this disparity in sentiments towards displays of romance? Are characterizations of affection defined by bodies of location, culture, and time? To begin developing theories regarding those topics, a pair of observations was conducted in

way. They think that if something is dirty in public, why would they have to clean it? Why didn’t the last person consume some of his energy and clean the mess? And that is exactly why humanity is disappearing from all of us. Everyone is for themselves. Going back to the famous quote from Emily Post, she specifically said that if you don’t have manners, you won't be aware of others. Hence that is exactly what’s happening in our world at this moment. Public washrooms are a vital thing to have in our

Although she is closed minded, it partially is not her fault, as I have lived with her in Tehran and Dubai –two Muslim cities located in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. (PDA) Public display of affection is forbidden in these two countries. To me public affection is not just “…people making out and touching each other inappropriately…” it is the respect you have for

The morning ritual for millions of Americans is waking up in the morning and drinking their favorite blend of coffee. What would happen if you didn’t drink coffee and changed this routine?

For example, consider a visitor who wants to show pictures from his recent tour to his friends or he suddenly decides to give a presentation of his latest

more accepting of that group. I chose a space, which was seemingly public and has a great level of diversity of who uses this public space. I decided to partake in an observational study of Tomkins Park, located in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood of 17th Avenue. A relatively small public space, which straddles several busy roads and businesses. My reasoning for choosing this space was the amenities Tomkins Park offers, a public restroom, free to make use of

that graffiti is seen as a threat to social disorder and suggests that communities festered with graffiti are “out of control” (Chronopoulous 2011, pg. 77-78). This is as a result of authorities seeing the act of graffiti writing as a domination of public spaces by Blacks and Latinos. Not to mention, they also consider graffiti artists as criminals, disturbed, insignificant, insecure, cowards, and socially maladjusted; which

A cultural identity is something that in a way defines who we are to other people. Cultural and ethnic identity is not only our background, it also showcases our parents and relatives background which connects us through familiarity of customs. In Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake the question raises, does one’s cultural identity change? In this formal writing I will discuss Ashima’s journey through life and how she came to accept America and its customs. Ashima Ganguli is the mother of our protagonist

Many of Hawthorne’s short stories were affected by his Puritan background. Some examples are, Young Goodman Brown, The Birthmark, and The Minister’s Black Veil. These stories all have Puritanism throughout them, for example, not displaying affection in public, not being arrogant, focusing on heaven not the world, and not associating with strange and or devilish things.
