AP Exam prompt: 2015 Q3
Polite language is constantly expected to be used in any form of conversation or interaction. The simple question of asking about someone's day is expected rather than actually being concerned about the person's day. It's a standard and rule to be polite to 'superiors' in school or work situations, meaning another expection to follow. Being polite to people gives off a certain atmosphere to the person of an educated person, usually being too polite to a person means to impress the person. Therefore, polite language is constantly expected from people unless the person wants to be seen as 'rude' or 'impolite'.
Politeness being constantly expected in school and work, made the expectation rather into a rule. Responding to these 'superiors' as 'sir', 'ma'am', and 'may i' is obligated in order to seem respectful to theses 'superiors'. The sense of responding with polite language to teachers and bosses as a rule shows that we aren't as superior to them, rather inferior, and if we don't respond politely, we're seen as rude and we 'think' that we're on that same level of superiority. If we don't respond with polite language, we're punished, seen as even more inferior to these 'superiors' and uneducated to respond with 'rude' language. If there is a disagreement, and we speak out about our disagreements, we're seen as impolite and again, rude. There's no way of responding to a disagreement as polite, and 'disrespecting' the other person. In a job environment, we're obligated to be polite to costumers and never to disagree, since the costumer is 'always' right. Again, if we're seen by our 'superiors' disagreeing with the costumer, we're punished and seen as 'impolite & not helpful. Polite language is a rule in a school and job environment, rather than having the desire to be polite to the person.
Politeness is also rather a expectation in a social environment with other peers to make others 'like' you. The use of politeness to gives the sense of a caring person by the way they phrase their words and speak, making the other person like you and seem more compatible. The use of diction ties with politeness because people don't want to seem rude to another person, since sometimes they want the other person so trust them. Impressing a person by the use of diction in their polite language gives off a sense of a nice person that cares for others. Yet the standard of being polite to everybody on first interaction gives off the sense that everybody is a nice person, but not everybody actually means to be polite rather follow the imaginary rule of being polite. In social settings, using polite language at first interaction with another person gives off the sense that the person cares rather than realizing that there's an expectation to be polite to everybody.
Therefore, polite language is more of an expectation than actually meaning the words and respecting the other person. The use of polite language in school and job settings is rather a rule and obligated to be used with everybody, especially towards 'superiors' and customers. Diction also ties with polite language to not give off the sense of a rude person that doesn't care for the other in social settings. Polite language being used is rather a imaginary rule to follow in all types of interactions, and seems as a standard rather than actually meaning your words.
