Gossip
If you listen with the people around you in a café, you will find that around two- third of their conversation is taken up with "gossip". They talk about who is doing what with who, and why have certain people pleased them and others not. You may come across an intense exchange about work or a book that someone has just read. But a such conversation will soon drift away returning to the intense interest in each others doing which characterizes the social life of humans. Close analysis of conversation groups reveals a further pattern. Gossip seems to require a small amount of participants, usually two or three. If other individuals try to join the group, things start to go wrongly. The speaker and listeners try to involve the newcomers, but it becomes impossible to retain the attention of everyone. The group becomes unstable and breaks out into smaller, rival conversation groups. Gossip allows us to interact more efficiently with other people. By a mean of gossip, we can keep track of what is happening among the members of our community, to bond with another through smiling and laughing. Far from being a trivial activity, gossip is an essential part of being human.
