What are the main themes found in the review? Who are the main authors used? | The article is organized by the explanation of the key terms and the author’s discussion of the definition. Related theories are discussed there afterwards.

Molly Curcio November 13, 2011 Comparative Thesis Paper In both Deborah Tannen’s “Different Words, Different Worlds, and Anna Quindlen’s Between the Sexes, A Great Divide” an explanation is given about the differences between women and men. Both authors share some common themes. However, there are definitely major differences. Quindlen’s piece is not only significantly shorter but her writing style, examples, and opinions are a bit different. Tannen’s writing is lengthy, personal, analytical and well sourced.
They explained that linguistic practices can be thought of as ‘constituting a conventional toolbox for constructing gender identities and relations’, (speech acts etc). Certain constraints that are inflicted by gender
Michael Rucker sates in his article “9 Differenced Between the Male and Female Brain” that “Many men are sharply left-brain dominant, while women tend to be more evenly balanced between left and right-brain processing. Women are therefore thought to be slightly more intuitive, and sometimes better communicators. Men are often less socially adept, and are more task-oriented thinkers than females.” (Rucker). Young boys can be rough because of testosterone but they tend to overthink their actions and decide on the “‘fight or flight’” reaction and coming from someone who is young, I can vouch for this. Females, on the other hand, follow their gut feelings and their “female intuition” and employ the “‘tend or befriend’” strategy.
These classifications among men and women help to set a barrier to show the differences each gender has on society and how these common tendencies they acquire start to develop who they are. As Thompson points out it is clear and easy to discover a females writing from a males writing because it is simply the fact that, “women talk about people, men talk about things” (Atwan 89). These trends are what have been labeled as the common capabilities and expectations of each
For example, the recent news article from Sydney Morning Herald, written by Nixon (2007) depicted how females who deviates from traditional feminine roles and merge with traditional male roles or traits, are more likely to be sexually harassed by society, especially at work. In terms of role playing and simulation, females and males can be seen as actors with different roles in society. These separate roles can be perceived via attribution and perception theories, such as schemas, which efficiently encode and organises the male and female properties into categories or traditional male or female traits, which are influenced by our pre-existing knowledge. Once either one of us step into each others roles, (e.g. females consuming male roles at work), we feel uneasy about it due to perseverance effect on our schemas, so negative remarks will be made internally towards the females (actor) from society (observer), committing the actor-observer or fundamental attribution

Samuel Junior Moses Dr. John Frongillo Writing in literature Com 1102 04/23/2015 The Prevalence of Stereotyping Stereotyping is an overly simplified attitude people hold towards another person due to race, gender or ethnicity. Stereotyping affects us by allowing us to see what we expect to see, and we have a tendency to twist and distort the characteristics of others until it fits our ideas of a particular group stereotype. Sex, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, and physical ability are various categories which exist in stereotyping. The most prevalent and controversial forms are sex and race. In the story the “How to date a brown girl (black girl, white girl, or halfie)” by Junot Diaz, the narrator stereotypes girls base on gender,

Recommendation Different genders clash with obscure communication styles while misunderstandings are built up more and more as pressure suppresses the imminent chaos between spouses. Males and females have a linguistic style that they speak to their same kind but creating clashes when speaking to the other sex. When taking marriage classes and improving relationships there are articles such as “His Talk, Her Talk” by Joyce Maynard and “Man to Man, Woman to Woman” by Mark A. Sherman and Adelaide Haas both discuss about the difference of language males and females talk rather than when the same gender communicates. Although Maynard focuses using pathos in her article to connect to the readers with emotion, however Sherman and Haas use a more
