Argumentation Practice: Introduction
The idea of politeness and polite speech in a culture and/or community is to define the behavior of the groups that are and are not using it. Polite speech used by these groups helps create a sense of relationship between two people that possibly did not have a set relationship before. Holding a door open for an individual could represent a kind gesture and take a relationship level from being strangers to being acquaintances. Phrases that represent being polite just as the anthropologist studies can be seen in phrases like “How are you?”, “Nice to meet you,” and “Let’s get in touch.” All of these phrases represent the kindness that individuals have to one another and as previously stated, can bring forward a new relationship between two or more people. However, not only that, but being polite can shed your personality in a certain way and can give the individual a characteristic that they did not have previously.
