The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers
expressing opinions calmly
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this:
When I say something because I want other people to know what I think about something, it is not good if these people think I say it because I feel something.
It is good if they can think “Before this, this person thought about it for some time” about me.
Because of this, I say it in one way, not in another way.
Note
This is especially salient for women expressing their opinions to men. The most apparent way of using this entry is by not shouting when expressing your opinion.Back to Expressing opinions
