"content": "I would like to support the idea of adopting traditional coping mechanisms to deal with the changing social fabric, the changing physical environment and changing interactions. Look at the new greeting phenomenon. For a long time, we had greeting mechanisms where only hands were shaken. But, nowadays, if you do not hug your friend, you have not shown a lot of love and that hugging could create an interaction that could be disturbing. How do you get into a hug without coming closer and your heads coming in touch and interacting with a chest environment of your colleague? This creates a problem. Take the example of the Isukha, Banyore, Kabras and Maragoli culture where in a social circumstance, the son-in-law is not supposed to greet the mother-in-law or shake hands. Now, that has been abandoned. What is happening now is that you find a mother hugging a son and almost behaving like the daughter. We need to revisit these mechanisms because they were developed as coping mechanisms which healed these confrontations that happen among different sexual relations."
