The issues raised in Tannen’s article do support the different ways men and women use the web and communicate online. Fallows points out comparable details to those Tannen mentioned, for instance, how women communicate excessively by the web compared to men. Furthermore, how every day we apprehend each other more effectively. The 21st Century seems to be the best era to make these comparisons between the Millennials and Centennials. Culture Every millisecond of everyone’s life is a chain reaction. Most people relate particular experiences as pure coincidences. Destiny or not, how one interprets that moment in life is how one will usually continue to when circumstances arise once again. Conditions fall into some sort of normality. How one is taught is how one will teach. Tannen noted “In the April [1990] issue of American …show more content…

One night, the story you have to share gets the best of you and the screaming, maybe even crying starts. The next day at work you are asked to example the situation once again. You may have noticed that your tone and diction have changed while sharing the scene with your boss or co-worker. While expressing yourself at home to your significant other, you felt free. At work, on the other hand, you felt the obligation to keep it as professional as possible. The anecdote Tannen initiated with, does not necessarily share the same thyme, still the concept is consistent. The husband was more conversational than the wife because subconsciously they were both what felt appropriate for them. In Fallows article, this can be seen on how much personal information a person will display on the web. According to her data, women and more reserved online as well. They are more aware of the ricks while men focus on the useful and ignoring the possible
The Internet is playing a very important role in the evolution of digital technology, but although it has seen remarkable growth over the last few years, its dispersion remains highly asymmetric.

She talks about when neighbors fought against neighbors and when brothers fought against brothers. She sends the letter to the family when Bill says he didn’t fire the shot that killed Tom. So she uses both to make this novel even more interesting.
Although, Powell uses various forms of visual and verbal acts of communication to appeal to our emotions. I, however believe that Nate Powell is a master at combining text, image, shading, and design work to communicate passions, events, and powerful messages. Powell makes smooth conversions from the past to the present throughout the book March. He uses the colors grey, black, and white as backgrounds to pertain to certain emotions in the book to actually explain what John Lewis and others went through during the civil rights movement. This is how Powell hooks in readers and keeps them interested in the book.

“If the Reverend hadn’t take the situation in hand and preached one of the hottest sermons in hand and preached one of the hottest sermons on the relationship of the fruits of the Earth to plain, downright human foolishness, I don’t know where it would have all ended” (Fast 68).

Although throughout the book the Reverend’s true name is never revealed, he has many other character traits are shown in
The March books were very meaningful to me in many ways; however there was a particular section in the book where it was the most meaningful. Which is when the John Lewis and many other participations were on the bus traveling to protest, they were also known as the “freedom riders”. However, they weren’t allowed to protest in on the buses because there were no bus drivers that would drive them, or they would be arrested, or they would be sent back to their home in cop cars. In fact, the part of the freedom rids that hit me the most would have to be when the Klu Klux Klan had raided one of the buses. This opened my eyes that the protesters faced death more often than I though.
In the novel March book one written by John Lewis, the writer discusses his experiences on the civil rights movement. Later, the Jim Crow era began to arise and he addresses the difficulty that he experienced during his childhood. The Jim Crow era was designed to segregate whites from blacks and limit blacks from becoming equal with them. “For many years, racial inequality and mass incarceration has restricted the rights of several African Americans. It is the reincarnation of caste system, that results in millions of African Americans behind bars. It limits the rights and opportunities of African Americans. This book discusses the dehumanization of African Americans and the limitations on how successful they can become. The book says that
In the article “HE SAID, SHE SAID. “Mine’s Higher” vs. “We’re the Same”, Deborah Tannen explains that men and women have different conversation styles. Although conversation styles of men and women are not quite same, but the ultimate goal of communication for both men and women always stays the same, to connect with others and to be more powerful. Men like talking while focusing on hierarchy, on the contrary, women like talking topics that can reinforce the relationship. The author states that verbal communication is similar to rituals, and differences of rituals can cause misinterpretations and behavior changes.
Male and female differ in their use of communication because their reasons for communicating are different. Men
Men and women have distinct differences in communication styles. Women are categorized by being more discussion oriented, while men are more action oriented. Depending on home environment and the way parents raise men and women, men sometimes are the ones who communicate most. Men who are raised around women are more apt to become more in touch with their sensitive side leading to being able to express their feelings more freely. Men and women are taught, through childhood guardians, to soar in different areas, with public awards to keep these goals desirable. Females are trained to demonstrate greater expressions of emotion, while males are taught to be solid and expressionless. Male belligerent and ruthlessness contradicts with the female desire to collaborate and avoid conflict. Men and women have communication differences, because of these early patterns that form during childhood and set into adulthood. There is many different communication styles between male and female but it helps each other to find their own personality, benefits on building connections between friends, and it keeps the wheels turning in marriages.

Technology surrounds us no matter where we go¬¬ — shopping malls, schools, work, grocery store, or passing someone on the streets. It is incorporated in our everyday lives. Developments in present technology have altered how people keep in touch closely with one another. As a result, technology has significantly changed the way people interact and communicate. In the past people communicated through telegrams or letters, which took long and could often be intercepted and read by another person. For instance, writing to someone incarcerated where letters are read by the guards before given to the inmates. Communication is now instant, effective, and private with the use of the Internet. Technology has brought us various ways of interacting with each other no matter the distance and will help us grow in a positive way.
