Question 1: write 2 paragraphs summarizing the general reaction to your violation

Purpose

• The purpose of committing these violations is to observe the importance that our society has placed on certain speech acts. This importance does not translate in all cultures, which can lead to certain failures in intercultural communication. Consider what you expect of others when you make a phone call or ask "How are you?" to a stranger. What do they expect of you in the same situation?

Method

• In order to experience how uncomfortable violations of cultural norms are, you will commit one of the speech act violations listed here.

Question 1: After committing the violation at least three times, you will write 2 paragraphs summarizing the general reaction to your violation. How did the person listening react? How did it make you feel? Was it hard to do the violation due to habit? Could you commit the violation without laughing?
