Weeks wants his readers to understand laughter as:
- “a psychological coping mechanism”
- “a process of conflict resolution”
- Conflict that may be internal (personal), social, or both
What does Weams mean when he says, “Laughter is simply what happens as we work through the details”?
“Under the right circumstances,” Weems says, “almost anything can make us laugh.”
How does this observation relate to our study of the rhetoric of laughter? Or how should it relate?
