Hello Localiers,
What is the reason why people Share? Early in time, humans share to survive (food, refuges, fire …). At now, in the modern life, people share moved by five reasons:
1. Firstly, people share to look good.
They want to make a good impression to all people around. This behaviour start with the first social networks (Facebook for example). People love to share how they are.
2. Later, people start to share to feel good.
When you’ve just come back from a great vacation, you tell your friends about it. This helps you relive and revive the happy feelings you felt during the trip. All that is how started to grow the travel netwoks.
3. Share to Help.
When you have a problem, you don’t have to figure it out yourself. You can tap on the collective wisdom of people who have been there before.
At the heart of collective learning is the sharing of information. We share information because it helps us survive. We learn faster. We make better decisions. We accomplish more with less.
4. Share to Connect.
We are motivated to share with the people in our lives to feel connected to them and to nurture our relationships.
5. Share to Convince (Propaganda)
Finally, the politically correct form of sharing is the propaganda. Sharing gives us the power to persuade others and convince them to act. A power that can change the world.
We share because it’s been hard-wired into us for thousands of years. Sharing is at the heart of what makes us social, and being social is what helped us (and continues to help us!) learn, grow and flourish as a species.
Keep Sharing, is healthy for you and your neighbors.
