Kelsey Brooks - Touch

In class on Monday, September 27 we watched a video. Dr. Redick pointed out the emphasis of the two oral people touching. I thought about the different aspects from the oral culture and today's world. Oral people communicate by touch. They might have been showing love or just warning each other of something to come. Today, we mainly see that type of hand holding in an intimate relationship. You do not see us standing in a line holding hands intimately. Some days when I leave class, I realize how many things we take for granted and don't realize what we have. Oral people were nature lovers as some poeple are today. How do you see this intimate type of hand holding? Is it just a way of their culture or do you believe it is an intimate relationship?
