Please write your respond to Question 1 and 2:
1. In chapter 5, Nancy Bonvillain explains that conversation analysts have devoted a great deal of time and effort to understanding politeness. This may surprise you since many people in our own society complain of widespread rudeness. Please describe in as much detail as possible a rude interaction in which you participated and/or witnessed. Then, applying what you’ve learned about politeness from chapter 5, tell us which rules of politeness were violated. From your example and/or others you may recall, is it possible to identify rules of rudeness or is rudeness merely the violation of politeness norms? Finally, if you wish, share some strategies that you find effective in undermining or resisting rudeness.
