You watch your grandmother and grandfather kibitz about the weather for hours without any real purpose to their conversation, and yet, you have been watching them do this for what feels like a century. How is this important to the human race? Something magical happens through small talk that can't be duplicated through any other form of social communication. Small talk stimulates our base human reactions to other human beings, and allows us to figure out our environment, the culture, social mores or guidelines, and our standing in the social hierarchy. Through its definition, this is no-pressure conversation. It lacks formality and requirements, and therefore alleviates any conventionalism from the speaker, creating a calm atmosphere in which to communicate. When we relax, we tend to reveal a lot more about ourselves and our personality by letting our guard down. Imagine cavemen grunting back and forth to each other in pursuit of figuring out who is top dog. We still function this way today through small talk. By sparking up conversation, we are truly feeling out who the people are in the room. In general, people will begin to fill roles that are comfortable and expose their true personality. This guy is the class clown, that lady is the political activist, and that other guy is the silent type. We begin to fill these roles and create an environment that is charged positively or negatively depending on the combination of personalities that contribute to the small talk. In general, small talk provides the forum in which to understand our environment and the people within it.
