We have been taught that if one is given something we need to give something
in return. Society looks upon people who do not reciprocate as “moochers”, “Ingrates” or “welshers” and other such terms.
To not accept someone‟s offering is also viewed negatively. So as a society we are encouraged to give and accept gifts with grace.
