Ethnography of Speaking

one thing i found interesting was, how it is reformed in the text it self that before the testifiers goes on to tell the story there is many prayers in sequence and then the testifiers goes on telling his testimony.

like talked about in the class on Thursday, our classrooms in the US are a lot more relaxing that in many other places. like one of our class mates from Russia said that in her countries they stud up when the teacher comes in the classroom as a sign of respect. here in the US that would be very weird because that is out of our norm.

in our classroom we do have the teacher as the lead person but we all are also expected to have our inputs of the subject we are discussing. all have the expectation to take good notes to study from because we are in a more free minded environment.
