Based on Gibb’s confirming and disconfirming statements, what type of communication climate was created in the above situation? What words were used that were acknowledging and validating? (If the content was completely negative, discuss how the conversation could have had more face-saving, positive overtones).

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.

what were the questions?
