A topic that I found interesting was scripts from chapter 3. I found this interesting because I am a slave to scripts. Whether it be a negative thing or a positive thing, I have always been very aware of situations and what is expected and scripts have allowed me to navigate through these different situations. Like the book said, many times things you think you hear or see things that you don’t because you rely so heavily on scripts. Many times, you come to expect what is coming so you hear that, rather then listening completely. In my personal experience, I have found that I use scripts in regards to small talk and not participating in real and active conversations with people that I do not know.
Though many may believe that scripts are completely negative, I definitely believe that they are not all bad, and are useful in certain situations. What I believe needs to be remembered is possibly that they should be used as a beginning point and not relied heavily on.
