Why Do People Shake Hands as a Greeting?

Why Do People Shake Hands as a Greeting?0People shake hands as a friendly way to say “hello” or to show respect. This tradition started long ago when shaking hands showed neither person carried a weapon. Today, it’s a symbol of peace, trust, and friendship. Shaking hands is a typical greeting worldwide, but some places have other greetings, like bowing or high-fives! The manner of greeting may change depending on one’s age, social status, or relation to the other person. How do you greet others?
