[ 5.0 stars ] "I wish this book could made required reading for everyone who listens to the media, watches TV news, votes, raises a family, or expresses an opinion. Tannen explains a large part of why our nation is in so many messes we are unable to deal with intelligently. She absolutely nails the problem. You'll never look at things the same way again. ..."

[ 2.0 stars ] "The book itself was used for a class project. I found the cultural perspective somewhat stilted.

[ 4.0 stars ] "In _The Argument Culture_, Deborah Tannen describes (and decries) the recent tendency for debates of any sort to devolve into an adversarial conflict between two opposing sides. Often, the metaphors of war and fighting are used to describe what should be just a difference of opinion.In the media, journalists often exaggerate, encourage, or even fabricate conflicts between opposing people or groups ..."
