Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two
or more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to i n t e r personal
relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual
knowledge, esteem and affection. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit
loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge and
they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behaviour,
such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may
often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours.
Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will
not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend
demonstrating on a consistent basis: the tendency to desire what is best for the other,
sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others
to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's
counterpart mutual understanding.
In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than
association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and
associations. The study of friendship is included in sociology, anthropology, philosophy
and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social

are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could
not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native
Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the
next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the
fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days.
The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come
from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and
cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing
or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made
into a pie.
On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York
there is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy
costumes march through the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary
characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas period, and the
next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.
