==Contemporary usage==

Contemporary usage seems different from the historical use emphasizing personal attitudes. Today's hospitality may pertain to the staging of parties, hosts entertaining,  or the hospitality industry as part of the [[entertainment]] industry. In contrast, hospitality traditionally has been associated with a sense of devotion to those appearing as 'strangers'.

==Biblical and Middle Eastern==

In Middle Eastern Culture, it was considered a cultural norm to take care of the strangers and foreigners living among you. These norms are reflected in many Biblical commands and examples.[http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=Exodus%2022:21;23:9;%20Leviticus%2019:10,33,34;24:22;%20Deuteronomy%2010:18]

An example is provided in Genesis where Lot provides hospitality to a group of angels (who he thinks are men); when a mob tries to rape them. Lot goes so far as to offer his own daughters as a substitute, saying "Don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof." (Genesis 19:8, NIV).
