Which countries treat our mothers the best?
Hi everyone! I'm Heather DeMarco at the business desk and I'm glad to be back after a bit of a vacation.
I know that Mother's day has gone by for yet another year but while on vacation I came across a little tit bit that I wanted to pass along. Most of our telephone companies agree on one thing and that is Mother's day is one of the busiest in the year when it comes to phone traffic around the world. Flower companies tell us that it's also one of the busiest days for them too as they have to keep up with those millions of requests for flowers to be sent to mothers. However, when it comes to which countries treat their mothers the best many would be surprised to learn that it is not the United States.
In a recent survey it was revealed that Scandinavian countries treat mothers the best and Saharan countries treat mothers the worst. The United States finished in a tie with Britain in 10th position and Canada finished in ninth. Whereas most of us would agree that our mothers play a vital role in our society too many of us are not very good at being able to treat our mothers with respect, courtesy, and dignity and in so many cases we often fail to realize that without our mothers where would we really be.
Many experts are of the opinion that companies use Mother's day as a means of pushing their business as opposed to helping society to understand the true meaning of Mother's day. Companies seem to place more emphasis on selling their products and services rather than taking the time to show us why Mother's day is important to us. What we need to see is a more dedicated effort on the part of companies re telling us why it is important for us to honor our mothers rather than trying to convince us to buy their products and services for our moms. If anyone is listening out there maybe it's time for you to take up the cry for a change in the way we honor our moms. Let us take the time to understand why our moms should be honored on a special day rather than trying to buy those over priced gifts for our moms and outdo each other.
