Affection can be associated with love and affection.
Before proceeding to know the meaning of the term affection , it is necessary to discover its etymological origin. In this case, we can establish that it is a romance word that is formed from the Latin verb “carere”.
The idea of affection refers to a feeling of attachment or affection that is experienced with respect to something or someone. For example: “I am fond of your aunt, but we cannot accommodate her at home permanently,” “I remember my school days very fondly,” “I don't feel any affection toward him, you can do whatever you want for me.”
Affection and love
Affection is associated with love , although it has a lesser intensity or depth. A person may feel affection for his co-workers and neighbors, but what he feels for his friends and family is something different.
You can be fond of multiple elements: a cousin, a dog , a dessert, a book, a place or a memory. Because it is subjective, what is considered affection can vary according to each individual.
The actions that are carried out with effort, care, attention and attachment , on the other hand, are carried out with love: “I was decorating the house with love so that Lucía's birthday party would be unforgettable,” “I always cook with a lot of love.” for all my grandchildren” , “My father used to tell me: 'Dedicate yourself to whatever you want, but do it with love'” .
It is common to feel affection for pets.

Within the world of cinema we have to establish that there are different films that have used the word that concerns us now in their films. An example of this is the feature film “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.” It premiered in 1989 and was directed by Joe Johnston.
Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Matt Frewer and Kristine Sutherland are some of the actors that make up the cast of this comedy that tells how a family man who is an inventor manages to shape a unique machine that allows any object to be made smaller. Machine that, due to an error, will reduce the size of the scientist's children and that will mean that they will have to face a dangerous adventure. And the little ones will come across the fact that the home lawn is now for them as if it were a jungle.
In 1993, that aforementioned film had a second part titled “Honey, I have made the child bigger.” Randal Kleiser was, on this occasion, the director of the film that once again stars the same family. Of course, in this case what the father does, with his new invention and by mistake, is make his baby grow in an exaggerated way.
