日本人はポライトだと思いますか？

I would imagine most of you guys would answer Yes, because they apply for sure.

ほとんどの人が「はい」と答えるでしょう

But I studied plainness at a debate in my university, and that totally changed my concept of politeness.

And that made me start thinking our Japanese people really?

大学でポライトネスについて少し学びましたが

それはポライトネスの概念を変えるものでした

そしてこう考えるようになりました

日本人は本当にポライトなの？

Have you ever thought about what playing this really is?

ポライトネスが何か考えたことありますか？

We'd like courtesy, Modesty de France were honorific language.

ほとんどの人がポライトネスと聞くと

お辞儀とか謙虚さとか敬意とか敬語を想像すると思います

それはポライトネスの一部にすぎません

According to Brown and Levinson, who have changed the concept of politeness you find trying to explain everything it's going to take like forever, so I'll make it as short as possible in my own way.

ポライトネスの概念を変えた、ブラウンとレビンソンという人によるとね

So all human beings have two basic desires.

全部説明すると日が暮れちゃうので

自分なりに出来るだけ短くまとめてみます

To put in the easiest were positive faces, a desire for approval, so desire to be liked, accepted, sympathized, care, complimented a or interested in their old positive face.

すべての人間は二つの基本欲求を持っています

For example, imagine you're wearing a new shirt that you bow yesterday and going to school and see your friends.

You want your friends to pay attention to new shirts and say things like, Well, you bought a new shirt.

That kind of feeling is called positive face over.

Imagine you got sick and cannot go to school.

You're staying your room all day long and one of the desires you would have a nest situation is that you want your friends to care about you being sick.

You want them to take shoe and saying like, Are you OK or can you come to school?

たとえば想像してみてください

Negative face, on the other hand, is the desire to have freedom of action desire to be free from interruption.

昨日買ったシャツを着ています

For example, Imagine you're working on your paper or homework or whatever that is in a school library and that Linus producing and if someone comes up, start talking to you.

どんな気持ちになるでしょうか

多分おニューのシャツに注目してもらいたいでしょう

Don't interrupt me because I'm super busy working on my stuff.

そして「新しい服買ったんだね、いいじゃん」って言って欲しいんじゃないですか？

That kind of feeling is called negative face.

こういう気持ちを積極的欲求を呼びます

Or imagine when you're taking a nap in your room out of Southern, your friends actually asking, Can you pick me up at the station?

You feel like, ah doing erupt me because I'm a sleepy I don't want to go.

風邪ひいて学校に行けなくなって部屋に一日中いることを想像してみてください

そのときの気持ちっていうのは

友達に風邪の事を心配されたい

「大丈夫？学校来れる？」のようなメッセージを送ってもらいたいはずです

Politeness is an action to satisfy or care for either positive face or negative face.

こういう気持ちを積極的欲求と呼びます

Let's take a look at negative face first.

So imagine you have a question to ask to a professor about his last lecture.

Generally professors a pretty BC How Jaschan.

干渉・邪魔されたくないという欲求です

Well, you don't just go into his room and say, Hey, I didn't understand what you say in the last lecture.

レポートとか宿題とかを学校の図書館でやってて

で誰かが来てずっと話しかけてくるとします

So I would say things like, Do you have time or are UBC right now before asking a favor?

こういう気持ちになるでしょう

Because the professor is specie and he has this negative face.

こっちはいろいろ忙しいんだよ

He doesn't want you to bother him while he's working on his stuff, but by saying things like, Do you have time or are you busy right now?

こういう気持ちを消極的欲求といいます

You're kind of showing a care for his negative face.

And this kind of plane is this cold fingertip Linus.

And this is what most Japanese people think planets has sold about.

「あっしーになって」って言ってきたら

Planus is an action to satisfy or care for either post a face or negative face.

Right now I'm giving your talk about politeness, and I'm also a human being, obviously.

こういう気持ちは消極的欲求です

I will my videos to be liked by you guys.

So if you really want to be applied to me, you can just leave me some comments saying like, Oh, it was great where I enjoyed your video because that's going to satisfy my positive face.

場面に応じて相手の積極的欲求もしくは消極的欲求に配慮する行為である

消極的欲求について考えてみましょう

And this kind of planets is not really recognised as plainness in Japan right now.

教授に前回の講義について質問があるとします

So based on this theory, I would say Japanese people are polite in terms off negative ploy nous.

If you're familiar with Japanese culture, you know that Japanese people apologize a lot when they ask a favor where when they interrupt others and they try not to be too intrusive because they care a lot for others that they face a desire to be free from interruption.

まさか教授の部屋に急に押しかけて

But I wouldnt say Japanese people are that plight in terms of positive planus.

「前回の講義が分かんなくて、教えてください」

Imagine a situation where you're wearing a new shirt.

Based on my experience, Western people are more likely to make compliments about your shirt stand.

もう少しポライトにいかないと

Japanese people and they ask you about your life, family, girlfriend or boyfriend more often that Japanese people do because they put more importance on positive face, a desire to be cared or interested in.

They are more polite than Japanese people in terms of positive politeness.

お願い事する前に「お時間ありますか」とか「今お忙しいですか」って言います

So I briefly introduced the planet theory, but I know it's not the easy to understand this theory.

I mean me a whole week to fully understand the theory about if you are never seen this stuff further, researchers recommend it because that's going to give you a new perspective on politeness.

 So thank you so much for watching this video.
