The Argument Culture: Seventh Post (Traditions)

The Argument CultureTannen gives many interesting examples of rituals and traditions from other cultures concerning aggression and opposition.  She favors Japan a little heavily for my taste, but perhaps she truly had more information about Japanese culture to choose from for the book than anything else.  I find it interesting that gender differences came in even here.  This is a fascinating book.
