Presentation of the topic

Gossip is a habit most people do not realize they have. It is extremely easy to adopt this habit and even easier to hurt the people you are discussing. Gossip can take many forms, depending on the persons involved or the context. While some believe that gossiping is bad and prejudicial, others believe in its positive role and functionality.
