The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method that involves making content analysis techniques an activity that is carried out continuously in order to obtain quality data.

These maxims are the maxim of wisdom, the maxim of generosity, the maxim of praise, the maxim of humility, the maxim of agreement, and the maxim of sympathy. The most dominant maxim of the politeness principle is found in the maxim of wisdom. Meanwhile, the least used maxim of the politeness principle is the modesty maxim.
