In her #1 bestseller You Just Don't Understand, Deborah Tannen showed why talking to someone of the opposite sex can be like talking to someone from another world. Now Tannen is back with another groundbreaking book, this time widening her lens to examine the way we communicate in public--in the media, in politics, in our courtrooms, and classrooms--once again letting us see in a new way forces that have powerfully shaped our lives. The war on drugs, the battle of the sexes, political turf combat--in the argument culture, war metaphors pervade our talk and influence our thinking. We approach anything we need to accomplish as a fight between two opposing sides. In this fascinating book, Tannen shows how deeply entrenched this cultural tendency is, the forms it takes, and how it affects us every day--sometimes in useful ways, but often causing damage. The Argument Culture is a remarkable book that will change forever the way you perceive--and communicate with--the world.

Such a great read!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rise above the pettiness of the Argument Culture - READ THIS BOOK! *by L***S on July 22, 2015* After reading Deborah's book I am much more aware of the aggressive combative language in our culture and the media. I feel less like a victim of it all. She helps you rise above it and see a better path. I vote for Deborah Tannen for President! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wonder how this book would be different if it were written today *by L***. on April 8, 2019* Written during the tumultuous Clinton years, this book describes the climate of argument that seemed to prevail in many levels of society at that time from politics to the media to education. The author describes this climate of argument and attempts to analyze some of the reasons for it. She doesn’t go so far as to suggest that all argument in all situations is bad. There are some areas where arguments are part of the necessary function of an aspect of society, such as the legal system. But she suggests that the level of hostility even in these areas may have gotten out of hand. She also tries to look for ways of cutting down on this level of hostility even where it is not possible to eliminate it altogether, such as paying attention to how other cultures manage life in these areas. Or consider having a dialogue rather than a debate or argument. Not every idea needs to be a winner-take-all proposition. I wonder how this book would be different if it were written today. I no longer follow politics or the news media closely enough to know if some of the practices referred to are still followed there, but from what I do see in these areas, I get the impression that things are worse than ever there. And many of the other areas she discusses seem to be getting worse rather than better as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4142928-the-argument-culture-stopping-americas-war-of-words](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4142928-the-argument-culture-stopping-americas-war-of-words) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
