Networking with our surroundings is one core shapers of our lives, wellbeing, behavior not to forget about the attitude. Social network has had a huge impact in my life because of those I rely on. Not only family and friends, but also to those I come across with once in a daily basis. Right here I am to lay how reciprocities affect our lives living in our societies and homes.

GENERALISED RECIPROCITY.

This effect does not only accommodate families but non-kin relations as well. Starting from my family, those I rely deeply on without them expecting me to reflect anything of same value to whatever they would have provided for me. Yes, it might sound like a negative reciprocity, and it is. Especially if parents buy for us things we could not return back at the same scale, they do things for us more than we could ever be obedient at being sent to the store to buy a packet of potatoes. Back to the generalized reciprocity, my family give to me without expecting me to give back anything at same value. There is no count to what we do and return to each other. It is a norm, a life and what is supposed to happen. I provide emotional support to them so as they do to me, run errands, do chores and etc. Just like they provide to me anything I need at appointed time sometimes. How we are obligated to each other is not under inspection for we oblige ourselves overtime.

Our families mostly, provide moral linkage toward us more than we could ever be instrumental in our households. They share love, care and their time to us. It is something unbuyable, but it is what we could offer back to keep the pattern running, life to not resume. To add on, they provide shelter, which is a domestic structure, food, access to economic capital, without any observation of what who should do next simply because one has provided something. We all benefit to each ones returned services even though they would not be equal.

BALANCED RECIPROCITY.

Although I have friends which are non-kin, but we share a very adamant bond. We do not expect another to do anything as quick when another has done something, bought something, we oblige ourselves overtime, yes, generalized reciprocity. Right here it is friends who expect something of equal value or similar value in return. Just like this one friend I had, she once bought me a bracelet, and she was expecting me to buy her something of similar value to what she has bought for me maybe on her birthday. She didn't have to breath it out, it was there, it had to happen, we shared a balanced reciprocity.

In conclusion, what would have life been if I or you, were the only one living? Allowing yourself to be assisted and to assist is one cycle that could never fade. My perspective is that it keeps the whole world, life at balance.
