Reciprocity
When two people interact, give and take, send and receive both ways, reciprocity emerges. Reciprocity requires a certain amount of trust to be established, creating a flow in which both human beings in a rhythm with each other, connect and exchange. Reciprocity is fundamental for sustainable relations, for shared knowledge environments, for communities of practice.
