B, cooperation and agreement

On argumentative culture, Deborah Tannen is concerned that people's culture is accustomed to the habit of discussing and framing everything in different debates, so losing or winning is the only concert of modern society. She also notes that while oppositions and conflicts are needed in dialogues, alternatives such as agreement and cooperation of people, are necessary to have some scale to avoid overloading them.
