often hear that young people today - entirely materialistic people.This word came into Russian from French, where mercantile - means "mercenary, mercenary."Is it really fair to charge and whether it is dangerous phenomenon?Let's try to analyze.
By definition mercantile people - those who do nothing "for nothing."In all they see its benefits, and if it does not - it does not interest them.But prudence in personal relationships is usually perceived negatively.That is why we are so unpleasant mercantile people.It feels right, they are cold and are not able to sympathize.They do not care about the state of the interlocutor or partner, it is important to get out of it what you want.But if a business relationship is the norm and there probably inappropriate expression of personal feelings, the family and friendship mercantile people - it is most often those of whom they say "on your mind" and who try to avoid contact.Why is this happening?The very meaning of the word "mercantile man" carries a negative charge.After all, none of us wants to be perceived as an object, as a source of satisfaction of someone's wishes, even if that applies to us someone from the family or relatives.And though the world rests on the principle "you - I, I - you", that is, the interchange of goods and services, normal human communication, sincere and warm, essential for peace of mind.You can not buy any respect, no love, no real support.And what does "mercantile" person?This is the one who takes all the links in the category of "commodity-money relations."It sorts people into "useful" and "unnecessary" - of course, for him.He estimates them only for what they can give to him, and most of all - in a material respect.Unfortunately, mercantilism - a kind of mental and spiritual problems of the era of capitalism.Nevertheless, it should not be confused with the entrepreneurial spirit.Rather, it is prudence, the coldness, the commercialization of personal relationships.If entrepreneurship, business vein are perceived positively, then the word "mercenary" clearly has a negative connotation.
Can you resist this phenomenon?It has small children learn consumer attitudes to parents.Then begin trading relationship in the family - a child does not want to have anything to do just voluntarily, for all required payments.In some families, it comes to the absurd when financially rewarded even perform lessons.It seems that in order to eradicate mercantilism - or more precisely - to prevent its development - to be a child to teach young people compassion.We need to direct their minds to the fact that human relationships, emotions, the joy of communication - priceless.And that really can reward the mere word "thank you", said from the heart.After mercantile people inherently alone: accustomed to take, they can not give.They're all around the same suspect, than sinning themselves.That is why it is difficult to trust someone else, they are no close friends and family are often destroyed.These personal relations can only be sincere.That is what should be taught to young citizens of the world that they grew happy and harmonious.
