questions.
Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as a gesture of
goodwill. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had more practical purposes.
Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would often
automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes,
both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the
weapons could be laid aside. Then the two parties extended their right hands to show they had no weapons, and
clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the orient, people have for centuries, clasped their own in
