What money can't buy? Friendships?
Hello. This time, I write an article in English. The topic is about friendship.
A couple days ago, I was watching a YouTube channel called "What money can't buy" by Michael Sandel. That was though-provoking and made me think that the society in which money can but anything does not bring us happiness. The happiness comes from mostly experiences not from money. Of course, money plays a little part.
Also, the video reminded me of a communication theory. It is social exchange theory. This is a theory of friendship. When you decide if you will keep friendships to others, it depends on costs and benefits. What do they mean by costs and benefits? The cots are negative outcomes of maintaining the relationship. The benefits are positive outcomes of maintaining the relationship.
Here is a question, money can't buy friendship? Virtually, you can't buy friendship by money, but money could be a contributor to the long lasting friendship. Please note that motivation you seek to maintain the friendship is all up to you. If you seek sense of hummer instead of money, you are inclined to choose a friend with sense of hummer.
Although money can't buy friendship, but money could be a reason to maintain the relationship.
See you. Have a great day!
