Normative Context Of Advice

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

Deborah Tannen, who is a professor of linguistics, says in her essay, "How Male And Female Students Use Language Differently", that after she made her book, “You Just Don’t Understand: Women and Men in Conversation” that one of the unintended benefits was that she gets to reevaluate her teaching strategies and see how male and females act differently in class. As you read through her essay you can tell that Deborah Tannen wants her readers to think about why males tend to speak more in discussions than females and the reason for this difference in the classroom and also how we can improve the classroom for both men and women.Although Tannen tends to get off topic and doesn 't have much evidence to back up some of her claims, she states

In everyday life people experience difficulties and problems that they feel they are not able to deal with on their own and need help with. The help that people receive to overcome their problems can be in many different forms. People may receive help in an informal way, such as having a chat to a close friend or relative, who can offer support and advice or they may seek help in a more formal capacity from various helping professionals, such as counsellors, social workers, psychiatrists, doctors, etc. For all of these professionals it is their

Carol Gilligan believes that there are vast differences between genders. Males are individuals who want to see justice be converted into instant gratification. They can be described by the following terms: logical, right and wrong, rule-based, less caring, present focused, strict rules, black and white, independent, rigid or commanding. Females are individuals who see caring for other people as important. They can be depicted by the following terms: reasonable, emotional, compassionate, more caring, rationalizing, future focused, shades of gray, dependent, people oriented, or having difficulty in decision-making. These terms, of course, do not express the characteristics of every man or woman.

Another way people’s opinions can be grouped together is by gender. According to “Factors that affect decision making: gender and age differences”, women’s emotions help decide their opinions. Women also look at consequences, time, and money and are mostly concerned about the information that has not been answered. (María Cardelle-Elawar ) This is not shocking news. Most women like to know everything before even thinking about a decision. It is rare to see any women making a decision blind. It’s also not shocking that women’s opinions are affected by their emotions. Women are more likely to

In every society, there is a profound distinction between the sexes and their roles within said society. In most societies, this is a diverse network of associations that not only covers those features directly related to sex, such as anatomy and physiology, reproduction, the division of labor, and personality attributes.

What do males and females have in common, and what is the distinction between both genders? This question does not have an interpretation as there is an abundance of aspects, the points of view, opinions and more; but we can look at the different pieces of recommendation given to males and the generic suggestions. “If”’ by Rudyard Kipling and “The Paradoxical Commandments” written by Dr. Kent M. Keith encloses similarities and differences in the way the author’s grant information to their addressed masses, on the other hand, they are different in their targeted readers. “If” is male-dominated and is written towards males, while “The Paradoxical Commandment” is universal advice for everybody. Both compositions are similar in the

Women with strong masculine traits often receive similar criticism; women are expected to behave differently than men. One study found that in professional business environments women were more likely to disclose chronic illness and find social support, while men were expected to maintain composure and not stray from the task at hand (Munir, Price, Haslam, Leka, & Griffiths, 2006). To further highlight this difference between genders on the disclosure of personal information, women who score high in feminine traits are more likely to become emotionally invested and disclose personal information about themselves in conversations with acquaintances (Shaffer, Pegalis, & Cornell, 2001).

roughout my eighteen years of existence I've encountered many people and I've noticed many variations between men and women. One of which being that I've noticed that women tend to have a more diverse vocabulary in comparison to men. I believe so because having a diverse vocabulary allows one to express a wider range of feeling, whereas men tend to be less concise and just use less descriptive words to describe the world around them. Another observation is that men tend to be very direct in comparison to women who tend to tailor what they say for the situation and the person. I've noticed this in myself and in the variations between when my parents ask me to do things.

the advice they need to hear, rather than, what they want to hear. Finding the fine line between

Women tend to be more emotional and rational then men, whereas men are far less emotional and react on impulse. The different understanding of the ways that each sex communicates is still to be studied. Women tend to react more emotionally than men, resulting in submerging themselves, mind body and soul into making decisions. Meanwhile men, impulsively react to situations for the sake of having a reason to do so. Men see women as less competent to making decisions that involve a lot of thought, and this is due to women’s

Women are typically less concerned with power more concerned with forming and maintaining relationships, whereas men are more concerned with their position. Girls and women feel it is crucial that they be liked by their peers, a form of involvement that focuses on symmetrical connection. Boys and men feel it is essential that they be respected by their peers, as form of connection that focuses on asymmetrical position. A woman's communication will tend to be more focused on building and sustaining relationships. Men on the other hand, will place a higher priority on power, their communication styles will reflect their desire to maintain their position in the relationship.

A study by Lechtenberg et al. (2015) points at another significant gendered difference: the components of therapy they found to be most helpful. According to Lechtenberg et al. (2015, p.98), while men and women both appreciate the use of male and female co-therapists and an emphasis on safety throughout the process, women were much more likely than men to value single-gender meetings before and after the conjoint sessions. While this may not have monumental implications, it does allow therapists to tailor their treatment, at least somewhat, around the particular aspects individuals find helpful. Men, who in general do not find these sessions particularly helpful, can be given alternative treatment.

Male and female behaviour is found to be different despite similar motivations in some cases- for example, both genders are seen to be competitive, but men compete openly, but are mutually supportive, with strong homosociability whereas competition between women is not as candid, which is found to create distance between women (Mavin, Grandy & Williams).

These are some of the cautions that were revealed through this assessment for me: The advice characteristics shows a desire to seek considerable amounts of advice. This was a known for me and it was born out of a need to do things right without error, and trying to make sure that I do not fail. I have learned that when trying to succeed and accomplish goals, there will be times of failure. This is the way that people learn and improve. If you are in a position, where you can get feedback to help you realize your mistakes. Feedback is also important in that regard to incorporate counsel, so that proper corrections can be made. The concern with a person that operate with the need of a high level of advice is the individual will delay making decisions. This is ok for some situations, but sometimes a decision with have to be made right away. I realize with this being one of my methods of operation, I will have to practice making decisions on the fly, in order to become more comfortable making decisions without being advised. I will learn to use this as a strength, by staying up on what current in my field, therefore I will be confident in my own decisions. The second caution that was revealed from the assessment is the process creativity, which said that I prefer to stick to standard rules and practices, when implementing solutions to problems rather than shifting processes to achieve solutions. This is accurate, but the other side is I do like to follow a plan that is already
