FRIENDSHIP


Friendship is a relationship between two people who hold
mutual affection for each other. Friendships are fun and make
us feel special. Many people in our society gives us the attention
but very few who really do care about us. Friends are people
who give and offer us care and love.

The Meaning of Friendship in Different Cultures:

Asia


In Central Asia, male friendships tend to be reserved and respectful

in nature. They may use nicknames and diminutive forms of their

first names.


Near East-Middle East


It is believed that in some parts of the Near East -Middle
East, friendship has been described as more demanding
when compared with other cultures; friends are people who
respect each other, regardless of shortcomings, and who
will make personal sacrifices in order to assist another friend,
without considering the experience an imposition. Many
Arabian people perceive friendship in serious terms, and will
deeply consider personal attributes such as social influence
and the nature of a person's character before engaging
in such a relationship.

Germany


Germans typically have relatively few friends, although
friendships that do develop typically last a lifetime, as loyalty
is held in high regard, and provide a substantial amount
of commitment and support. Germans may appear aloof
to people from other countries, as they tend to be cautious
and keep their distance when it comes to developing
deeper relationships with new people. They draw a strong
distinction between their few friends and their many acquaintances,
co-workers, neighbors, and others. The development from
becoming an acquaintance to a friend can take months or years,
if it ever happens.

In my opinion, we should believe in friendship and appreciate it.

"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave,
and impossible to forget"
Monera Almuhanna (11 sc 6)
