In this book, The Argument Culture, Deborah Tannen examines how we communicate in public — in the media, politics, courtrooms, and classrooms — letting us see in a new way forces that have powerfully shaped our lives.
The war on drugs, the battle of the sexes, political turf combat — in the argument culture, war metaphors pervade our talk and influence our thinking.
We approach anything we need to accomplish as a fight between two opposing sides. This cultural tendency is deeply entrenched. It affects us every day — sometimes in helpful ways, but often causing damage.
