Factors which lead to speech differences between males and females:
Although there is a lot of writings about the differences between males and females biologically and psychologically and socially. Because of that, it will be hard to have a stable and constant results. Even when the biological differences are more prominent, the other social and psychological differences are still unfinished matter of debate. There was supposed -until recently- that psychological differences is the major differences which are the results of the biological composition. Thus, women cannot possess some mental capabilities. These views haven't changed since only a short period. Although it is well known that the women's brains are smaller than the brains of

Studies show that children (males\females) speak in a different ways. Therefore, the language which is used will be different. Boys prefer playing outside, and they usually play in large groups where they are equal and have equal status and there is a leader who will take the lead to play. That role of leader is like giving him a high status from all the children and they all agree with that. The language of their play is more like giving orders and we usually see (Zero-sum) and (debate and discussion) in their games.
But, when we come to the girls, they have a different way to play. Girls prefer playing in small groups or just two-two games. Girls see that they must have a best friend in their life to share their moments and secrets, and if a girl didn't have a best friend it would be a huge problem for her. Also, in their games there is no (zero-sum) and no one to do the role of the leader like boys games. Besides, girls games are characterized by giving each girl a role to play in the game and the language of the play is free –no orders-. They express their opinions, suggestions and desires freely.
For example:
The boy says: Give me this or get out of the stadium while the girl says: Let's do this or what do you think about that…
When the girls play we see them sit and speak among each other and they
Since the beginning of time there has been a distinct division between the sexes. Through sheer definition there is a physical difference between the two but as time has passed there has been an indisputable recognition of the differences in personality and cognition. There are also undeniable differences in the life experiences had by the two sexes that
He argues in the book that the human mind makes a difference between men and women, but they cannot be judged because of their genders and mental and physical abilities. Thought the thoughts of males and females are entirely different because of internal biological differences society and culture play a part in the standards these genders should conform to fit in. Socialization to gender roles impacts the shaping of the male and female minds in society, and this Pinker did not emphasize. Gender is defined as the socially constructed behavior, roles, attributes and activities that our societies consider appropriate for women and men. The development process that shapes the mind begins in life early and heightens during adolescence stage for instance; researchers discovered that gender expectation negatively influences psychosocial development of girls. Thus inferring the fact that men and females cannot be judged by their mental and physical abilities is true but minus the influence of influences of cultural and religious biases the male and females mind would not be that different.
The girls continue trying to persuade the coach to allow them on the team when a group of boys, including Justin, Viola’s boyfriend, approach the group. At first the boys appear happy, but when told that the girls want to try out for the team, Justin along with some other guys, laugh then stand taller, cross their arms over their chests and change their facial expressions from carefree to smug, causing them to appear intimidating. The coach continues to explain to the girls that, “Girls aren’t as fast as boys… Or strong… Or athletic. This isn't me talking, it’s a scientific fact.” During which again he changes his posture to a more intimidating stand. With this new realisation, Viola asks Justin, as the team captain, what he thought, to which he replies, “I think the coach said it all.” Viola then confronts him, stating that just yesterday he said that she was better then half the boys on his
to play and hazel saw a girl pitcher in the game and all the boys got proved wrong about girls cant play base ball therefore girls can play
In her scientific work Sex Differences in the Brain Kimura analysis several key differences that cause men and women to excel in various tasks and jobs due to naturally occurring phenomenon in the body and
Some of these gender roles and stereotypes have been created due to the differences in physique, thinking, personality, and behavior that is actually present between men and females. Physical differences are more visible to the eye due to the distinction between primary and secondary sex characteristics for each gender. Males have testes, deeper voices, a bigger body type, and more facial hair, where as women have a smaller body, higher voices, ovaries, and wider hips. (Rathus, 2010, p.448). Cognitive differences have to do with the brain and the way men and women
Biology too plays a major role in the differences between male and female. Genetically, there are differing chromosomes. XY for male and XX for female. These chromosome differences account for the physical differences that men and women have. In dealing with body composition, males are more likely to be taller and more muscular. Males also have testosterone, the male sex hormone. It is said that males with high levels are more confrontational and smile less. Women that have low levels of estrogen, the female sex hormone, are said to be more disagreeable and confrontational. Maybe because men have such a huge advantage over women by being physically larger, they are supposed to be more aggressive and women having less physical strength are supposed to be the nurturers.
By this age period, children should have developed some social skills that permit them to begin to share and take turns.
Dr. Laura Allen has spent years studying the brain tissue of both boys and girls. She said, "As I began to look at the human brain more and more, I kept finding differences, and about 7 or 8 of the 10 structures that were actually measured turned out to be different between men and women" (Men, Women). Basically, it is best to always try to learn about human nature, that way we can educate people to prevent them from misusing the information. She claims, "knowledge we get is better, we can alter our education system for more equality" (Men, Women).
Looking at male and females we can see the noticeable physical differences between the two sex, but besides exterior differences, there are subtle but significant differences within the brain. Spasificly INAH3 which is called “third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus” which is typically about two to three times larger
Biologically, there are some differences between males and females. Boys do tend to be a bit more aggressive, while girls are usually more verbal. Males also have better spatial skills, which research seems to contribute to their higher testosterone levels, as women with higher testosterone also seem to have greater spatial reasoning skills. (Kimura 50).
Studies have also been carried out into whether or not there are differences between male and female brain size and whether this affects how we relate to each other in terms of gender. Simon Baron-Cohen believes that male brains are wired towards systematic understanding and females are wired towards empathy. In addition he says that this is not necessarily always the case but the majority are wired in this way: “Both sexes have their strengths and weaknesses. Neither sex is superior overall.” (Baron-Cohen, S. 2003).
No one would argue the fact that men and women are physically different. The physical differences are rather obvious and most of these can be seen and measured easily. Men, who are essentially built for physical confrontation and the use of force, usually have greater upper body strength, build muscle easily, have thicker skin, and mostly use the left side of their brain. Women on the other hand, have a higher percentage of body fat, and a wider pelvis. Women also have four times as many brain cells connecting the right and left side of their brain. This provides physical evidence that supports the observation that men rely easily and more heavily on their left brain to solve one problem one step at
Females are better at verbalizing and verbal tasks and use double the amount of words than males when talking. Females also learn how to read and write earlier than males and also have a superior sensory system. Females use their five senses much better and are able to remember sensory information easier and have better hearing ranges than males (Sasser). It may often seem that males do not pay attention in the classroom, but in reality it may not be a case of attention at all. Males actually might not hear the frequency or pitch of the teacher’s voice, so in turn a teacher needs to talk louder. Females may take this the wrong way and consider it yelling when in fact the teacher is just trying to get everybody’s attention (Moton). Males are able to spatially process information better. Having this advantage makes them better at multiple skills such as motor skills, mental manipulation of objects, mathematical and abstract reasoning, processing symbols and pictures, navigation, and computer processing (Sasser).
Hypothesis: A no of studies have conducted in different fields to evaluate the gender differences and their behavior, cooperation, competitiveness between them as well as performing the intelligence and memory based tasks. This study explores the issue that how boys can better perform in a team and why girls can not perform better in such type of games and previous researches also showed that boys perform better so we design the experiment to investigate the reasons and main factors behind this issue. Our view is based on the personal experience and as well as on the previous studies. So we postulate the following hypothesis of the above stated experiment is:
