Spit-Saliva.. whats the difference?
Spit and saliva.. whats the difference? Absolutely nothing, the only reason why people might think that spiting is nasty is because their thoughts are shaped by people, society, TV, movies basically everything around them. I have a friend which is Greek and they spit on there floor! Its not because they are dirty people, its because the society in Greek is different than the society in America and they were taught to spit for various reasons. Also when I played football, and someone forgot there water I would let them drink out of my bottle or even a couple of times a teammate forgot his mouth guard during a game, so the coach just told them to use someones that isn't on the field. It sounds nasty but its no different from sharing a drink or kissing someone. Again, people are shaped by society and the the things around them. If allot of people start a trend or think in a certain way, people will follow because that is social construction.

ReplyDeleteI agree how people will follow what the rest of society is doing based on everyone elses actions. It's so interesting to see what people consider to be normal and why are minds are trained the way that they are.
ReplyDeleteIts completely true how our mindsets are shaped by how we are raised and the media we are exposed to. So through these factors we develop into people who can function in society.
