Annotation

This paper assayed how Takata miscarried in U.S. Congressional hearings on their airbag defects. Emotions are employed as resources for managing the stakes in a Congressional hearing. The Takata deputy misfired to regard the case as a moral or emotional one. Takata's piteous practice is an example of how not to act in the institutional talk.
