The Importance Of Robots

In the video lecture presented by Deborah Tannen, He Said, She Said, Tannen emphasizes that men and women grow up in very different social worlds. When boys grow up, they learn that there is often going to be an inequality of force in any conversation. For girls, however, they feel that equality is very important and that it needs to be enforced through sympathy-based bonding. As adults, these different messages behind socialization can often lead to confusion, miscommunication, and, sometimes, hurt feelings. Tannen explores the difficulties of cross-gender communication and how we can overcome them by understanding where these conversational rituals come from. As a reflection on Tannen’s lecture, this paper will analyze how the different developments of boys and girls lead to the different views men and women have on the world. First of all, childhood and friendship is perceived differently by each gender.

The article traces the origins of this phenomenon to childhood, where young boys and young girls tend to play exclusively within their own gender. Children's development is most influenced by the social structure of peer interactions. The differences in childhood socialization result in a lack of understanding of the communication styles of the sexes. Boys and girls bond differently.

In Sex, Lies, and Conversation by Deborah Tannen, she does a good job in identifying the problems between how males and females communicate, and the reasons behind it. Going back as far as our childhood. She explains how as children, we usually play with kids of the same sex. Thus already creating different social circles, like the many different tribes in a jungle. Within these groups, male and females communicate and play in different ways. Males would prefer to create a platonic relationship through play, with examples of sports or activities. Where as females predominantly prefer to gossip or discuss topics in a calm setting. Causing different gendered children to become adaptive to one type of relationship building. As the children grow up, they are accustomed to the means of segregated communication.

Whether we consciously notice or not, doing gender is occurring everyday within our society. Every interaction we have with another individual is doing gender. Doing gender has become a part of our every day lives the same way without realizing it the same way we breathe air without really paying attention that we are breathing. The meaning behind this is that it is occurring unconsciously. Candace West and Don Zimmerman coined the term doing gender in an article they composed. West and Zimmerman argued that gender is something that humans created. As humans, we have the urge to categorize and define everything. If someone was not in favor of their gender role or did something that was not deemed correct for that gender, this person would be committing an act of social deviance. This paper will discuss what doing gender means along with other attributes of doing gender. These attributes includes what pushes us to do gender, why we do gender, the results of doing gender along with discussing what the boys in C.J. Pascoe’s article of Dude you’re a fag accomplished. This essay will discuss what doing gender is along with what causes us to do it and finally what doing it accomplishes.

I've been interested in technological things for as long as I can remember. Not things like the new iPhone or The Apple Watch, but things like coding and programming. It's crazy how you can type in a seemingly meaningless jumbles of letters and symbols and what comes out is something beautiful. During the summer of 7th grade, I took a robotics class, and we went to visit the Cedar Falls High School's First Robotics club, and see the facility that they worked in. I was the only girl that took the class, and I think I was the most intrigued with the inner workings of the club and everything that went into building that robot. Ever since that day, I've always dreamed of being the girl outsmarting all the boys on my robotics team, showing my intelligence

In the past women were locked by the patriarchal system within certain roles, for example housewife, which made them dependent and subservient to men. Many people continue see the position of female as subordinate to male. Symbolic interactionism highlights that people do not merely learn the roles that society has set out for them; rather they construct their roles as they interact. In the process they greatly rely on symbols, for example words, gestures, clothes, to reach a shared understanding of their interaction. Symbolic interactionism also suggests that men use sexual abuse as a way reaffirm their masculinity or even exercise their power over one another. It is important to mention that the object of harassment is not necessarily women. Gay students are often the object of provocation. Sexual harassment can be viewed as an instrument by using which the most masculine men position themselves on the top and put the less masculine gender on the bottom. Sexual prowess became a measure of power, status, and control. Hyper masculinity is particularly cultivated in male dominated environments like fraternities and athletic teams. Although sexual abuse is sometimes normalized by the idea that men are naturally sexually aggressive and cannot resists sexual impulses, Judith Lorber views gender as a product of socialization. People “do gender” every day. Lorber argues that gender system today maintains structured gender inequality to produce a subordinate

Most people use microwaves everyday. A lot of people actually wonder how microwaves work. For example, radio waves and radiation, microwaves use radio waves and radiation to heat foods (How Microwave Cooking Works, 2015). Furthermore, radio waves heat food by getting water molecules out of food (How Cooking Works, 2015). In addition, the history of a microwave started off very interesting. For instance, there was someone whose name was Dr.Percy Spencer, he accidently discovered the microwave (Clevenger 2015). More importantly, Dr.Percy had a chocolate bar in his pocket, he was testing a new vacuum and then the radiation and heat from the vacuum melted the chocolate (Clevenger, 2015). In the end, microwaves are something that is very useful

I walked to Little Caesars for some pizza one day normally like any other day, but today as I walked through the door… ROBOTS WERE MAKING PIZZA! The cashier asks me if i’m ready to order and I say yes, but it took a while to answer because I was in awe when I saw robots making and preparing pizzas. “Anything new happen because you look like you found something new” said my mom. “I saw robots making pizza, real pizza!” and my mom was in total shocked as if she were having a seizure. The next thing I know, the whole family goes into Little Caesars and everyone got excited. My siblings were running around the place causing a major scene while my mom was blushing so much due to the embarrassment of the little ones while my

This lead to discussions developed this idea on gender roles. We talked about the readings about Barbie in society. One student

On the subway, in the parking lot, leaving the bar, or walking home, women, motivated by fear, must always be alert and aware of their surroundings. This is not because the subway, parking lot, bar, or the walk home are themselves dangerous, but the experience of being a woman in these areas is. Gendered space is inescapable. A space common to college campuses, a fraternity house, is especially masculine. Specifically, parties at night held at these houses are masculine spaces. Outside, the space is grand, built to mirror ancient Greek architecture. Most prominent are the large white pillars and towering door. Inside, the space is vast and open, with no furniture. Boarded windows, loud music and people fill the space. House members guard the

These kitchen appliances have developed the way one lives his/her life everyday, especially the way one cooks. If it was not for those who have continually worked hard to create such useful inventions, society would not be where it currently is. The ways in which the oven and microwave are convenient, how they operate, and their history opens one’s mind to the similarities and differences of them. Although they compare and contrast, they both have never ceased to aid one’s

My 8th-grade year was the climax of my teenage life. I finally gained the courage to peek out from the shadows. I saw my siblings, not at stress inducers, but as guidance counselors. One day, while visiting my brother at college, he gave me an unfinished robot. I was excited to learn something new. After what seemed like an eternity, I was finished. This was the missing piece of my dynamic. With joy and hope in my heart, I excitedly flipped the switch to turn it on. It blinked on and off. I was finally able to complete it. But, my excitement came all too fast. A spark lit up the whole machine. Smoke started to pour out of my little robot. I quickly turned it off before it could elevate any further. Another failure.

How would today’s world be if the technology that is known and loved by millions suddenly vanished? Could the world re-adapt to the lack of technology, or would it plummet into Darkness and Despair? In actuality, if someone can develop artificial intelligences to a certain limit he or she can prevent many of the world’s future problems. In a sense, Mankind can benefit greatly from the further use and development of Artificial Intelligence although some people would have one believe that the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can endanger large areas around the world.

Throughout the observation, it was fascinating to see how people let these judgements influence them entirely. Though more interesting may have been the patterns that unfolded. A particularly noticeable trend was one defined by sex. Women generally interacted with more women, while men interacted with more men. In these same-sex interactions, women overall seemed more at ease, they maintained more relaxed postures, displayed a wider range of paralanguage, and even spoke at a louder volume.
