Exercise 7.1

1. What is Greene's thesis in "How Unwritten Rules Circumscribe Our Lives"?

The customs that govern us are what make a civilization; there would be chaos without them, and yet for some reason — even in the disintegrating society of 1982 — we obey them.

2. What are some of the examples he gives to support it?

The examples that he gave are the customs when eating among other people, stopping at a red light late at night, staying in our seat in the stands during a major athletic event, paying our checks in restaurants and coffee shops, obeying the rest rooms sign, pulling car up to a parking meter, and not getting the other customer's tip, which is left for bartenders.

3. Are all of his examples equally strong? Do any of them strike you as unconvincing?

Yes, all of his examples are equally strong and really supported the thesis statement of the essay.

4. Why is it important that the laws discussed by the writer are unwritten? Do you agree that these laws govern our lives more strongly than written ones?

It is important the the laws discussed by the writer are unwritten. As a human being, we must know what is right or wrong. Basing upon our customs, morality, ethics, and social norms, we do not need those things to be written all the time, instead we remember it and apply those in our daily lives.

I firmly believe that unwritten laws govern our lives more strongly than written ones because it is practically a rule of life. They are there as a guide for us to know how we will move according to what is acceptable in our society. They also what makes the humanity disciplined and civilized. These laws mold us to be who we are — to be a person with a kind and proper behavior, to be a law-abiding citizens, and to apply good manners and right conduct.

5. Which of the laws given by the writer are true in your culture? Give examples to support your answer.

All of the laws given by the writer are true in my culture. Actually, all these laws are applicable and must be applied in all countries, no matter the cultures, religions, races, languages, and traditions of the people living in there. As Filipinos, we tend to eat quietly and minimalize conversations during eating time. We also followed the traffic lights. We do not go en masse to an athlete, showbiz celebrity, or politician. We also go to our respective rest room.

6. Can you give additional examples of unwritten laws in any culture?

For instance, in a classroom setting, students are not allowed to eat, sleep, or talk with other classmates while the teacher is in the front discussing the lecture. This is one of the unwritten laws in school and every student must engrave this in their minds.

7. In your view, which unwritten laws mentioned in the essay seem basic to life in any civilized society and which seem relatively minor matters of form or taste? Explain your answers.

In my view, the unwritten laws mentioned in the essay that seem to be basic to life in any civilized society are do not raise voice when eating among other people and going to own respective gender's rest room. Surely, I know that this is important in our lives because these are applicable to anyone and if we follow this, it shows that we are civilized and not disrespectful.

For me, the relatively minor unwritten law is pulling car up to a parking meter. Not everyone has a car, so this is not applicable to all people.

8. Where does Greene first state his thesis? Does he state it again? If so, where? Do you think his organization is effective?

He stated the thesis after he told us a situation about a man yelling at a woman sitting opposite to him.

Yes, he state it again in the concluding paragraph.

Yes, I think his organization is effective. It is not a traditional essay order, but it is a good method. He started with a situation, then followed by the introduction, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion.

9. Are the author's examples selected from a broad enough range of experience to support his thesis effectively?

Yes, I believe that the author's examples selected from a broad enough range of experience to support his thesis effectively. Certainly, these are what he had observed, learned, and experienced in his life.

10. Why are so many of Greene's examples exceptions, that is, examples of people who do not follow the unwritten laws?

Because even though people follow laws, both written and unwritten, there are still people who are stubborn and do not follow these laws.

Exercise 7.2

1. at the top of his voice = very loudly
2. at the top of his lungs = very loudly
3. run into = experience
4. raise your voice = yell or shout
5. nowhere near enough = few / a small number
6. make good = do the right thing

Exercise 7.3

1. What is the thesis of Guilbault's essay?

Although it's not unusual for words and expressions to lose their subtlety in translation, the negative connotations of macho in this country are troublesome to Hispanics.

2. What is the meaning of the word macho to Hispanics? To Americans?

The Hispanic macho is manly, responsible, hardworking, a man in charge, a patriarch. A man who expresses strength through silence.

The American macho is a chauvinist, a brute, uncouth, selfish, loud, abrasive, capable of inflicting pain, and sexually promiscuous.

3. What people are given as examples of the American meaning of macho? How do these examples support Guilbault's definition of the American meaning of macho?

In the essay, Guilbault gave the name of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charles Bronson as quintessential macho models in American meaning of macho. In the movies of these actors, they exude toughness, independence, and masculinity, but also reveal their violence masquerading as courage, sullenness disguised as silence and irresponsibility camouflaged as independence.

4. What people are given as examples of the Hispanic meaning? How do these examples support Guilbault's definition of the Hispanic meaning of the word?

In the essay, Guilbault gave the name of Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery, and Laurence Olivier as ideal of macho in Hispanic meaning of macho. These actors show manly and responsibility.

5. Guilbault includes a discussion and examples of "the darker side of macho." What does this phrase mean? Who are the examples of it?

Some men drink alcohol, gamble, fool around, and womanized. And for them, these actions are reasonable. These are the negative things about men in patriarchal society. Guilbault gave example by telling that her uncles represented the darker side of macho.

6. Does including the section on the darker side of macho strengthen or weaken her main point? How?

Yes, including the section on the darker side fo macho strengthen her main point. She was able to explain deeply her main topic of the essay.

7. Guilbault says that the misuse of the word macho stereotypes Latin males. What does she mean?

Because of the different connotation in the USA, the word turned from something positive into a negative prototype. Also, it distorts the truth.

8. In paragraph 9, Guilbault says, "Typically the cultural traits other societies value don't translate as desirable characteristics in America." Do you agree? Be prepared to support your answer with examples.

Yes, I agree with the statement. I strongly believe that each country has its own culture, traditions, and perspectives, and do the people. For instance, in Filipino culture, as well as in other Asian countries, people are completely family-oriented, however in the USA, they are less family-oriented. In fact, if an American turns at the legal age, that American must live indepently away from the family. Anyhow, in Asian countries, people are really family-oriented and want to live with families even though we are adults.

9. Can you think of a word, phrase, or concept from your language/culture that changed in meaning when incorporated into another language/culture? Explain the various meanings of the word.

There is a one concept in the Filipino culture called "tampo" and that is if someone offended us and hurted our feeling, we tend to keep quiet and avoid that person without telling that person the reason. But if it is incorporated to another culture, especially in the USA, Americans will think it is weird and unbearable and they might tell us that if we feel something, say it and be straightforward.

Exercise 7.5

1. What is the thesis statement? What is the central idea?

THESIS STATEMENT: In general, Americans are friendly to strangers.

CENTRAL IDEA: I came to the United States one year ago and I had no idea about life in the United States and American traditions, except that life was complicated and people are strange. Even though American social relations are complex, hard to form, and hard to maintain, I manages to bridge the gap, and I was able to have close friendships with some Americans.

2. How many examples does the writer give? Are the examples explained adequately?

Yes, there are numerous examples in the essay. And the examples are explained adequately.

3. Are there enough examples?

Yes, the examples are enough to be understood the main idea in the essay.

4. Are the examples relevant?

Yes, all of the examples are relevant. The author gave the readers comprehensive and thorough information about the main idea of the essay.

5. Are the paragraphs coherent and unified?

Yes, all of the paragraphs are coherent and unified. I found the essay easy to understand. The flow is smooth and every paragraph is interconnected with one another.

6. How are the paragraphs organized?

The paragraphs in the essay maintained its relevance to the central idea. All of the paragraphs are related to the central idea and give support to the thesis statement.

# data[].attributes.body
Exercise 7.1

1. There are so many rules like these—rules we all obey—that we think about them only when that rare person violates them.

2. -When you are eating among other people, you do not raise your voice.

-Stopped at a red light at night.

-Sports match spectators stay in the audience.

-In restaurants and coffee shops, people pay their checks.

-Men who keep queuing in public toilets for them and women who also queue in public toilets for them

-Even a killer man still doesn't enter the women's restroom even though his goal is to kill a woman.

-Pay for their time on the perimeter even if there is still time left.

-You left someone else’s tip on the bar until it got to the bartender.

3. I don't think all the examples are strong. I don't believe in the paragraph about a murderer who keeps waiting outside the women's restroom just because of an unwritten rule. a murderer is a person who has no feelings, they even kill their fellow man, of course they won't care about the rules of the women's restroom that men are not allowed to enter.

4. Because the text above discusses the power of unwritten rules in their application in society, it is very important that the rules discussed in the text are unwritten rules to fit the topic of discussion.

I don't think that these unwritten rules are stronger than the written rules. Because written rules are also strong rules that people obey. Although it can be said that there are some people who violate it, the majority who obey the written rules show that the written rules are as strong as the unwritten rules, and vice versa.

5.  The law in my culture is not to raise your voice when you eat among other people. my mother always told us not to raise our voices while eating in restaurants or cafes. Sometimes we were so busy chatting that we didn't even realize we were making loud noises, so my mother had to warn us over and over again.

6. In Paris, you should always say bonjour when you enter a shop or restaurant. When leaving the location, say au revoir.

7. In my opinion, the unwritten rule that has become basic in many countries from the text above is that men and women go to their respective toilets. and an unwritten rule that seems relatively minor a matter of form or taste is a man who pays for the parking meter even though there is plenty of time left, my reasoning is that not all countries implement a parking meter system.

8. at Johnny Deadline Reporter: The Best of Bob Green and American Beat. No, he doesn't. Yes, I think the organization is effective.

9. Yes, I think it's quite effective. Because from the text I understand the power of unwritten rules that apply to people all over the world.

10. In my opinion, because he wants to show that no matter how strong a rule is, there are still people who will break it even if only a few people. this shows that unwritten rules are not very strong rules that beat written rules and still have weaknesses.

Exercise 7.2

1. with the loudest voice.

2. with all my might.

3. collide with someone or something.

4. speak more loudly.

5. not at all near to.

6. be successful.

Exercise 7.3

1. The impact of language in our society is undeniable. And the misuse of macho hints at a deeper cultural misunderstanding that extends beyond mere word definitions.

2. The Hispanic macho is manly, responsible, hardworking, a man in charge, a patriarch. A man who expresses strength through silence.

The American macho is a chauvinist, a brute, uncouth, selfish, loud, abrasive, capable of inflicting pain, and sexually promiscuous.

3. Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charles Bronson. In their movies, they exude toughness, independence, masculinity. But a closer look reveals their machismo is really violence masquerading as courage, sullenness disguised as silence and irresponsibility camouflaged as independence.

4. Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery, and Laurence Olivier. Because, these guys meet the criteria for the meaning of the word macho in Hispanic.

5. The phrase means the opposite of the word macho which is defined as a man who is responsible, hardworking, reliable, and so on. The example of it are Guilbault’s uncles.

6. In my opinion, the darker side of macho strengthens the main point, because what is shown in the darker side of macho shows a big difference with macho, so the picture of the meaning of the word macho becomes clearer and more convincing.

7. The word macho is often misunderstood in some countries, so that the meaning of a man who was responsible and reliable becomes a man who is considered lazy.

8. Yes, I agree with that statement. Such as the culture in Indonesia where we prefer to eat with our hands rather than using cutlery. Meanwhile, in America eating with hands is considered a dirty thing.

9. There is one Indonesian word, namely "micin" or commonly known as flavoring. But in korea, the word "micin" is defined as a crazy person.

Exercise 7.5

1. Thesis statement: In general, Americans are friendly to strangers

Main idea: The reason for that was what I remembered my friends in Saudi Arabia saying about Americans and how they treat strangers. After I attended college, however, I discovered the opposite of what I had expected.

2. The writer gives two examples. Yes, they are.

3. I think there are enough example.

4. Yes, they are relevant.

5. Yes, the paragraphs are coherent and unified.

6. Paragraphs are well organized. Statement in each paragraph is continuous with the other paragraphs. Each example given is also relevant and supports the main topic well.

3.       Yes, every one of his instances backed up the essay's thesis line.

4.       - It is important, We don't need to have our customs, morals, ethics, or social standards are written down all the time; instead, we remember them and use them in our daily lives.

5.       Indonesians, in general, place a great priority on preserving peaceful social connections. When required, this entails being indirect (that is, not saying what they actually think or feel if doing so would threaten societal peace), which might be viewed as dishonest or hypocritical by westerners. We would want to emphasize, however, that this is simply a cultural difference, and we should not consider it in terms of good or evil. In turn, Indonesians expect people to be indirect in their dealings with them. Be cautious while criticizing Indonesians, for example, in case they make a mistake.

6.       In habit is always greeting or saying "excuse me" and "thank you" when receiving something from someone.

7.       In my opinion, the unwritten norm that has become standard in many nations is to welcome people as they pass by, to do weekly social services with residents in the neighborhood, and do not receive guests during the night.
