- Correctly concluded, the term ‘Decency’ carries a very heavy weightage in this discussion. There is no doubt or dilemma that celebrities are also fellow human beings who have the same emotions as any other common man. but what provides them the image and fame of being a public figure, also claims to have the responsibility of a sensible citizen who becomes a role model and ideal of many.
Public display of affection is not bad, as far as it is enclosed within the blanket of decency and morality. A hug or kiss in public can impart different meanings and give vivid perceptions, which often gets differentiated by the body language of the persons involved in the act. Again, the decency in the body language is very much necessary when it comes to the public place.
Celebrities are very much like any other common man, and so the laws and regulations of the society and the cultural boundaries and also same to these celebrities. If moral policing is applicable to common man, so should be to these celebrities as well. The indecent proposal of love in public not only affects the culture, but also contaminates the young brains. Also the sensual display of affection could lead to immoral conducts in the society, as the polluted brains tend to capture such negative message and victimise the poor girls. This should not become a reason for increasing number of female assaults in the society.
Thus, the celebrities should understand their responsibility and stay within their decency limit while expressing their affection in the public places.
