People are animals. Coercion and briery and punchisment and blackmail and education (so called) only work to a very limited degree.
Note the bolded. Here is a challenge - look up the crime statistics about who is most liked to murder you, rape you, steal from you, or otherwise abuse you in many and various ways. It is your immediate family, spouse, or other not-so-distance and distance family members. And friends. Greeting your family is a protective mechanism to help say - please don't kill me after dinner today. Please wait until tomorrow and give me a chance to get away.
Also this, just for a teaser:
