Discussion of Significant Differences Between Men's and Women's Talking Manners

Men and Women communicate very differently, the way your family communicate might affect you and so might your ethnicity. In “How Male and Female Students use Language Differently” Tannen explains how males and females have different conversational styles. She also talks about ethnicity and gender being a factor in the way people communicate. In my case these two factors play a huge role in my way of communicating and also in my family’s way of communicating.

Women and men; very different but also very alike. As the "The Dinner Party" states by the colonel that men may feel like screaming in an jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse-ear they have that ounce of nerve control to keep them under control. Unlike women, who scream and that's why that ounce counts. With those facts, the colonel still believes that women have not yet outgrown that and their first reaction is to scream. The different roles of the men and women come into play when the women experiences the contact with the cobra and quietly mentions for the boy to come over and do something. But we notice that she stayed calm and didn't even move her mouth although her muscles tighten and she began to get nervous. Once the American

In the piece, ‘Are Different Patterns of Communication in Women and Men Innately Determined’, Louann Brizendine, argues yes they are innately determined while, Brenda J. Allen, argues no, women and men are conditioned through social interactions based on power and position. In the creation and maintenance of the gender system, communication and gender are viewed as very important by feminists because language is a very powerful agent.

There are many important and significant factors in a human being’s life. Without those elements, life stays incomplete. For instance, food, recreation, hobby, fun, and emotions are fundamentals of a normal life. One of those elements is every day talk. Everyday talk is the process in which people interact with each other and communicate their points of views (Tedpower, n.d.). This is a way for them to stay in contact with each other. This is important because human beings cannot live alone. They are social animals by the nature, which means at every point of their lives they need someone to talk to or communicate. If a person stays alone for a long time, he starts being depressed and frustrated which can lead to many odd behavioral traits. People who talk to each other or have a decent conversation with each other can be friends, family, colleagues, siblings, sub-ordinates, employers, or strangers.

The communication styles differences between men and women have been a strong topic of interest in the research world for centuries. These differences have led to miscommunication, conflict, and even dissatisfaction between couples throughout the world. The study analyzes this communication styles within couples, more specifically among married couples. It has questioned how differences in communication styles between this married couples married five years or less affect marital satisfaction. This study will be conducted through the use of an interaction analysis. The goal is to increase the amount of knowledge regarding effective communication and how it is relate to marital satisfaction in order to ultimately aid the rise of marital satisfaction and the decrease of the divorce rate among the United States.

In the article “Male and Female Communication: Differences Worth Nothing”, Laurie M. Stewart explains that main ideas about the differences between men and women communication that were published by three different Doctors. The differences exist in men and women communication, although not any of the theories were widely accepted. Stewart introduces that the belief of men and women are differentiated in communication due to different focus and driving force was written by Deborah Tannen in You Just Don’t Understand. Next she lists the points that John Gray wrote in Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus about general communication styles varied between men and women. Then Stewart introduces that the theory Lillian Glass wrote about gender

One of the essential contentions of feminist theory is that there is an inherent difference between the concepts of gender and sex. 'Sex' refers to the physiological characteristics humans are born with; 'gender' is what culture 'does with' or how it 'reads' those physiological differences. One of the most contentious areas of gender research is pertains to the differences between male and female speech. While most authors concur that there is a general difference between the ways in which men and women express themselves in different contexts, there is still profound disagreement as to whether the cause of this is nature or nurture. Furthermore, some authors such as Janet Holmes and Ronald Macaulay argue that gender stereotypes cause people (including academics) to overemphasize such differences, while other authors such as Rachel Rafelman and Clive Thompson tend to see the influence of male-female distinctions as very real and palpable, regardless of the cause.

In the process of going through an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter training program, one cannot help but notice a substantial gender gap. For every fifteen females, there are (perhaps) one or two males. Research has suggested that females make up around 85% of the ASL interpreting field (RID, 2014). Does this significate gender differential have an effect on clientele message? This paper hopes to explore that precise question. Through the course of this paper, I will uncover the differences in communication styles between males and females. Additionally, I conducted a survey of interpreters as well as clients in order to gain insight into the possible effects this differential has on clientele. The online qualitative survey allowed me to compare and contrast responses from a small sample of interpreters and clients. The most significant information I gathered related to awareness. Interpreters, it seems, are aware that their gender impacts the client’s message and are taking steps to remedy that. I plan to explore some of these potential solutions within this paper.

SWEARING IN THE WORKPLACE: HOW DO POLITENESS THEORY AND EXPECTANCY VIOLATION THEORY RELATE TO THIS ISSUE?

During spring and summer of 201 I underwent a six month internship in the information services department of a major company in my country Botswana. The company , Botswana power corporation is the sole producer and distributor of electricity in Botswana. As a company with branches all over the country it is easy to understand why communication would be crucial to the day to day operations of this company as a whole. For the sake of clarity however I’m going to limit the focus of this paper to the Information servives departmentin which I worked.

Miscommunication has been a problem when dealing with these differences such as relationships. Romantic relationships often end due to miscommunication between the man and woman (Renwall.2010). It’s not because either of the two didn’t have good intentions, it’s because they didn’t communicate well enough to

In her book Women, Men, and Politeness (2013), Holmes analyzes the differences in politeness between men and women when it comes to each gender’s use of language. According to Holmes (2013), apologies are perceived as negative politeness devices used in order to restore social relations after an act of wrongdoing. This applies to the genderlect theory because of the difference in styles of men and women’s language. The theory suggests that women presume a relational approach in which they seek to interact with others while men use more of an instrumental approach to get things done. In an effort to talk to get things done, men tend to use more formal politeness strategies as illustrated in the following example in Women, Men, and Politeness:

Numerically, men and women are equals; men make up 50% of the worlds population, and women make up the remaining 50%, but that is where the equality essentially ends. It is no secret that men and women are different biologically, but the differences between the two genders don’t end there. Beyonce Knowles writes a song describing the differences between what is acceptable behaviour for a man versus a woman, which really sheds some light on the fact that men and women are not seen as equal, and are not held to the same social standards. Looking at this from a symbolic interactionists perspective may help understand why there are differences in acceptable social behaviours between the two sexes. Men and women are viewed differently, not just because of anatomical features, but because of the way each gender has been moulded into specific stereotypes and taught that these stereotypic behaviours are to be upheld. This phenomena is seen even at a young age, in an article found online, 45% of Canadian youth agree that “to be a man you need to be tough” (Baluja, 2011). The same article also explained that 31% of Canadian boys believe women’s role is to take care of the household and family. Structural functionalists may have insight into how these stereotypic roles came about and why they are prevalent even into today’s society. The inequality between the genders does not end there, unfortunately. Gender inequality spills over from social situations and into the workplace, where

Today, in this modern world, women have gained a significant place in society. In the early days, while they were only responsible for the households and taking care of children, today they are as powerful as men are in the society in terms of economic, social and legal. However, although their achievement and improvement in various fields, the linguistic behavior that they are both implicitly and explicitly taught from the moment they are born is influenced by the norms and the values of the society in which they live. In this essay, I will examine my transcription with regards to differences in language between men and women, in accordance with the arguments of power and powerlessness, supported by Robin Lakoff and Deborah Tannen.
