Steaks and Thanks Therapist and life coach, Doctor Laura Trice, in her 2008 TED Talk, “Remember To Say Thank You,” addresses the importance of “praise, admiration and thank you.” Trice’s purpose is to convey the idea of why individuals feel insecure to ask for praise and how necessary praise is. She adopts a light-hearted tone through personal narratives, anecdotes, switching between first and second point of view, and repetition in order to present her ideas and view of “praise” and “admiration” to her educated audience. Trice begins her presentation on the importance of gratitude by straightforwardly presenting the subject of her speech. She appeals to her audience through a personal narrative based off of her childhood experience.

Over the course of the last several decades, the polarization of American society’s use of positive and negative social etiquette in all interactions has reached its greatest level in recorded history.

At least, this is what freelance writer Todd Schwartz would lead us to believe in his thought provoking paper “American Jerk”. The majority of statements Schwartz’ makes in this article are accurate for the majority of American society, yet he draws several flawed parallels and fails to provide the necessary information to prove his greater accusations.

Conversation is a ritual every person must encounter throughout their lives in order to function properly with one another in today’s society. However, every individual has a “different idea about what’s appropriate” when approaching someone in any sort of conversation; that is why we are referred to as individuals (Tannen 327). There are thousands of diverse languages to speak to one another with, in fact that means there are thousands of different ways to offend each other with our words. Within those languages there are several contrasting gestures that can offend any single person, such as the amount of times individuals apologize in one meeting, giving criticism too harshly, or thanking someone so often it does not seem genuine. In the article “What Do You Mean,” Deborah Tannen touches upon apologies, criticism, and thank yous in further detail to explain where individuals go wrong within conversation and how they can fix their actions. Individuals find it satisfying to please others by being polite because it is the ‘right’ thing to do, however like myself others need to stand up for themselves and get directly to the point now in order to avoid conflict later in life.
