- Synopsis
- Deborah Tannin is perhaps most famous for her descriptions in the differences in how men and women use language and interact with each other in the workplace. In this, her newest book, Ms. Tannin turns her keen linguistic eye -- and ear -- on "the Argument culture". Her contention is that modern American culture tends to promote argument for argument's sake, that we're often too busy yelling at each other to listen to each other. Using examples as diverse as Whitewater and Greek culture, she contends that both sides can, in fact, be right, and that there are, in fact, usually more than two sides to an argument. This book is a must read and should be required reading for all politicians, lawyers -- for everyone.
