COULD BE REAL?

I really enjoyed this article because it supports a way of living. It could be an idealistic point of view, but these days people are completely disconnected from each other, I mean people don’t have a social aware: they just want to achieve their goals, even if somebody is hurt in the process. Although, greetings might not have a real meaning of respect or another good feeling from one side: for example people that greet someone just for custom; perhaps this way to act can create a real connection, because you are showing education, and that is symptom of an order in society, a kind of role that you must do, because you are a part of your community. Another point, which makes me think a lot, is the relevance of greetings in many environments: marriage; studies; friendship; self-esteem; and so on. Greeting shows a feeling about caring for others. As everybody knows, the egoism is the beginning of many disasters: wars, warming global and so on, perhaps a kind of cure for this situation could be starting to create relationships.

THE RELEVANCE OF THE GREETINGS

The article "HELLO EVERYBODY" on the reader´s digest magazine shows how the way you greet can make great good changes in any environment of your entire life. The author makes an analysis through eleven points that we have to know about the relevance of greetings in life. The first and the second points share what is the common perception of us like human beings in the social environment. It says that we usually just talk with somebody; when we want something to fulfil our goals. The following points show the achievements you will get if you greet people properly. All of these achievements are cause of the strong loop that you produce when you greet somebody. A good example of this is the growing of the productivity in the student when the teacher greets the students- 27 percent- . Another achievement you can get is the respect since the people towards you: if you greet someone, there is a great probability that people will see you more like a person, I mean a pleasant and safer person. Also, the greetings could help you to make much better the dialog in a marriage and make stronger the relationship, because the simple act to say hello is a mark of respect and makes a predisposition for beginning a conversation. The eleventh point and the last one, develops a particular point of view: a clinical one. It says that an appropriate greeting supposes a smile and this expression produces endorphins. This hormone has particular qualities: it can avoid sickness, it works as a great painkiller; It can avoid stress; and, in general, it boosts happiness. Finally, the author is looking for making usual the act of greeting people and yourself as a way to know yourself and create a strong social contact with your community and the world.
