im totally intrested in the human ways, why we do things the way we do, what we think and why we think it, i love it, i get into it and my brain feeds off it, but ive found stuff that hmm has got me thinking, after reading one of the blogs i do, she was right in what she said, its called recoprocity norm apartly... the discription:

This is a very common social norm which says that if I give something to you or help you in any way, then you are obliged to return the favor.
This norm is so powerful, it allows the initial giver to:
Ask for something in return, rather than having to wait for a voluntary reciprocal act.
Ask for more than was given. You can even exchange a smile for money.

Reciprocity also works at the level of liking. We like people who like us, and dislike those who dislike us. This can create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

its all simple but yet i love it. this man did research on it, he send christmas cards to people he didnt no, most people sent him a card back and even got on to a perminant list of some.

little things count in this world i suppose, people dont relises this at all until it happens to them, you could be having a totally shit day, then someone does something for you out of the blue out of an act of kindness, and your day doesnt seem so bad really? .... apartly some people want something back in return, such as - Hari Krishna people have used this by giving passers-by a small plastic flower and then asking for a donation in return. but i reckon a thank you is something in return, it shows the apreciation, and ... well it should give the other person the little high that you have recived becuase they no you apreicatate the act that you have been given.

i googled it all and found changing minds.org as the website to get most of the information off, i think ill end up being on it all day long.
