In reading the article “Can We Talk”, self-disclosure in a relationship means a lot to both men and women when communicating and interacting with each other. I’ve been married twice- not to the same person twice and being self-disclosed to them was a nightmare. Things that I would share with them would get told to their friends, my family or strangers in general. I cannot say I had a good experience being self-disclosed. The article talks about the gender role between men and women role during intimacy and how affectionate they can become.
It is not uncommon for men to sort out practical problems or focus on small tasks while grieving. Meanwhile, women are more likely to want to share their feelings with others. This may mean they talk about what is happening or cry more openly than men. * Cultural background. Cultural groups express grief in different ways.
One of the most common reasons is that your communication style is different than the other person’s communication style. Tannen expresses” Unfortunately women and men often have different ideas about what’s appropriate and different ways of speaking “(para 2). For example my sister and her boyfriend work at the same company and they have different styles of communication. She loves detail and he just wants the bottom line and when they get home from work at the end of the day and
Edgell says that women do most decision making frequently on a probably daily basis, but their decisions go unnoticed whereas men make fewer decisions more infrequently but they seem to be the more important decisions such as moving house or buying a car or other serious financial decisions. A radical feminist would say that Edgells study just outlines the fact that we are living in a patriarchal society and that men are viewed more highly and have more power and control in the relationship, and that women are just used for everyday menial tasks. In conclusion, there is much to y for both sides of the argument but it is difficult to decide either way. It appears that there is some equality but we have a long way to go before actual
When it comes to conversational topics, women tend to talk more about family, clothes, relationships and social events5. Also, their conversations include the discussion or expression of feelings. Women are more likely to express their feelings of hurt, offense, but are less likely to express their anger in words. Women’s communication style stresses interpretation and subjectivity. For example, when women disagree during a conversation, they may say “‘You may be right, but could it also be that…?’” or “‘Oh, I’m sure you’re right, but I saw it a bit differently’”6.
That is, men and women, as well as boys and girls, are more alike than they are different” (Hyde, 2005, p. 581). To prove her hypothesis she focused on specific categories for possible similarities such as, cognitive variables, nonverbal and verbal communication, social and personality variables, psychological well-being, motor behaviors, and moral reasoning. My opinion of gender, prior to reading the article, men and women are far more different than others tend to want to believe. Women tend to be more driven by their emotions whereas men are driven more on their skills to problem solve and physical capabilities. That is not to say that there is not a sense of equality, but based on my personal observations a female has the tendency to be more capable of carrying out and following through with tasks more than a man.
Such as women can not perform manual work as well as men, on the other hand, a man’s entire chemistry is different allowing him to be less emotional than a woman. Jane Addams and her colleague Ellen Gates Starr founded Hull House a place for down and out women. Jane treated these women as friends and ignoring their faults, became very close to these women. Being close to these women allowed Jane to understand their struggle but much of the information she gathered remained unpublished. She saw social differentiation as a block that society needed to get over, infuriately she herself was a victim.
Women are now accepted into traditionally labeled male occupations, and men are being more accepted in traditional female roles. Although we do strive for equability, males are still expected to be dominate in most social structures, leading to the oppression of women in some ways. A male’s traditional role is to be the strength for him and his family. Females are no longer staying at home mothers but employed mothers, providing for their family with long lasting careers or jobs. Our women have fought for a difference in treatment, which differs from the Amish women who didn't question the role that they played in their
The literature begins with a discussion of the research on gender and leadership.The literature review reveals that women were devalued more (relative to men) when displaying masculine styles than they were when displaying other leadership styles. Mainly, women lead in a more democratic and less autocratic style than men and the review suggestion that an attitudinal bias might influence their findings.The literature reveals that men are viewed more favorably than women in roles occupied mainly by men than for roles occupied equally by both sexes, or for roles where gender is unclear.When women demonstrate a behavior that is identified as outstanding, they may be evaluated without negative bias. When the quality of women leadership is ambiguous, it may be devalued relative to men leadership.The literature review also reveals that male and female leaders do not differ in personal or task-oriented styles but rather in tendencies to lead with a directive or participative style. Women tend to lead in a participative style while men tend to lead in a more directive style.References were made by Swim, Eagly, and Johnson throughout the study. Other citations were made by Bass, Yoder, Powell, Rosenthal.
Although using emotion to discuss about male and female linguistic style connects to the readers, however emotions are a person’s personal view and always one-sided. Maynard uses her personal experience in “His Talk, Her Talk” to convey her readers about the different language styles of males and females “At a party I attended the other night” (par 3) as she explains her experience of genders separating with the same sex. Maynard gives her view and information on what she experienced with a biased view unlike Sherman and Haas who explain their claim with statistics and analysis while giving readers an objective outlook of their
