Argument and Public Discussion
Conversation Partnering # 9

I asked Isabella if she thought Mexican was a argument culture and she said no. then I asked her who can publicly speak and she said it was both men and women, but even thought it was about equal the still see men as more superior. When I asked her about the norms she said that you could argue with your peers as much as you wanted but you never argued with your parents and if you did you couldn’t yell, only the one with more authority could yell, and the parents always got the last word.

In Persian society however I think we are an argument culture. But since we are a Muslim country women don’t always get the right to speak publicly. Our norms are the same however bemuse you can yell all you want but you never yell at your elders.
