As a teacher, one of the first things you teach your students is to raise their hands when they want to speak or ask a question during the lesson. We do this to instill respect for others, both classmates and teachers, to increase patience and teach delayed gratification, and of course, so that we can get some teaching of the subject matter accomplished too. But raising one’s hands has other implications as well. Sometimes, we do it when we shrug, to show we don’t know the answer. Sometimes, we “throw up our hands” to indicate failure; we give up, we just can’t anymore.  And of course, I think it is universal to be told to put one’s hands up as commanded by police when they are arresting someone, so the person under arrest can show that they are not a threat.
