Well i think people forget too often that as humans we are social beings, and as being so it is natural for us to help each other, since we have a common goal.
This social quality, which has been suppressed for ages through the many forms of slavery, lead to the deprivatation and alienation of our true selfs.
This true identity reveals itself now in a new, global community, and it shows that it is human nature to have a strong urge to support each other, to give something valueable to the community, and it shows that the satisfaction to be recognized by others outweighs financial benfication by far.

When you look at commercial transactions from a social perspective, you cannot exclude the cultural aspect. As humans, we build our *economic* relationships based on values, preference, opportunities, satisfaction and convenience where ethics do play a paramount role.

For example, you might have this situation where you would pay more for the same thing just because that seller means more to you, than another selller that you regard as less valuable (interpersonal validation) and offers the same product for less.
