Abstract

This research examines the politeness strategies contained in a video on the YouTube channel social media entitled "We or the School is Stupid" owned by Deddy Corbuzier. The themes discussed are related to school, education, and children. The themes presented were Education, Human Rights (HAM) to children. The purpose of this study was to describe the strategy of assertive speech act politeness on the video podcast of Kak Seto and Deddy Corbizier using Brown and Levinson's politeness theory. As well as the implications for learning Indonesian. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method using the technique of free speech involvement (SLBC) as a data collection technique. The results of this study are the use of assertive speech acts which include stating, suggesting, bragging and complaining. The strategies undertaken by the debate participants were the balance on record strategy, the negative politeness strategy, and the positive politeness strategy. The most widely used strategy is the bald on record strategy. This is due to the fact that the debate has less time but a large number of problems, so it is necessary to use the bald on record strategy. This also shows that in conducting the debate the thing that is sought is not who is the most polite, but the ability of a person to defend his argument. The implication of this research is the use of politeness strategies for anyone who wants to speak more politely.
