Speech act

I think that the class about speech act was really interesting. Before this class I didn’t think that you for example can respond to a compliment in so many different ways. Because in Sweden we uses compliments a lot and everyone is, most of the time, just accepting it. I think it the reason to that are that our parents are complimenting us a lot when we are kids and then everyone gets use to it and keep complementing etch other. I think give complements as much as people do in Sweden is both good and bad. It’s good because it helps you feel better about yourself and it helps you groove as a person. But it could also have negative effect like if you not getting complements for something that you were expecting a complement fore, it will in that case instead result that you feel bad and insecure about yourself. Something in between is always the best. Looking forward to see you all in class tomorrow.
