    Tannen’s descriptions of types of miscommunications are black and white, but I believe they tend to be more of a grey area of classification. As seen in personal experiences, perhaps women do apologize a little too often. The reactions from men and women when complaining can switch between genders, as well. As discussed, men and women do not fit into one classification of what they find humorous. Overall, miscommunication is difficult to categorize with one sex or the…

    Austin first states that the word should be deleted from our use, but before that we must remove the people who use the word. “Let’s get rid of it. Scholars of social norms say all that’s necessary to remove offensive language from public speech is a critical mass of people willing to take up cudgels against it.” (Austin 6). There are tons of people who use the word and are not willing to get rid of it because they are so used to it. It is one of their words for colloquial language. Austin then describes how women went through different kind of words that described them. ““Produce and animals is what we were,” she recalls. “We were ‘chicks’ and ‘lambs’ and birds’ and bitches,’ and there was always the infamous ‘cherry’”” (Austin 6). She relates this to women because women were able to change the social norm of being called different things. Austin shows that since women can change the social norm, then society can get rid of the “F” word.…

    Throughout the world there are many different views on the use of swear words in everyday life. From evening family slot times to late night tv shows, cursing in society is slowly becoming part of our “normal” day to day language. Whether or not it is accepted is something different. Society has often labeled swearing one of two things: as an extreme type of language only used by the uneducated or the greatest use of power words that should be used by any and all people. Though swearing is offensive to many, it is proven to be a major extension of our vocabulary and should be tolerated and understood to a greater extent.…

Women usually communicate to express feelings and gain emotional intimacy. Women tend to use nonverbal communication more than men. Women also tend to be better than men at interpreting nonverbal signals, according to the website Body Language Expert.

    Generally speaking, even if people speak same a same language such as English, the style of communication and utterance that people use are distinguished by race. This may happen because people of each race have different backgrounds, growing up with the language their surrounding uses as an original mother tongue or as a second language. However, it may be that the differences in language use can also be categorized by gender. Historically speaking, people have always tended to believe that communication between men and women was difficult because they had very different ways of speaking even if they would have thought the same issue. For the most part, this may have been due to a simple misogyny or discrimination against women. Women had…

    The communication style of men is more direct. Men are more dominate and may take offence or feel put down when women offers to help and add input in a conversation. Men can come to decisions quickly and on their own. In contrast, women like to discuss the issue with others and ask for opinions before making a decision. Women use communication to build relationships and collaboration to bond with others. Men are usually uncomfortable discussing feelings or showing emotion. Men want to solve a problem and move forward. However, women tend to like to discuss personal feelings, show emotions, and invite input from others. Thus, challenges arise between men and women. For example, after a long day I like to come home and vent to my boyfriend. His interpretations are that I am a constant complainer when really I just want to express my personal…

It is unclear if the F-word has always been considered vulgar, or when it first came to be used in unpleasant circumstances. It is usually accompanied by other words life “Mother Effer”. Andrea Millwood Hargrave’s 2000 study of the attitudes of the British public found that the F-word was considered the third most severe profanity and its derivative Mother Effer was second. The word Cunt was considered the most severe.1 As time goes on, The F-word has become less vulgar and almost more commonplace. However, Lawyer and linguist professor Pamela Hobbs, has stated “notwithstanding its increasing public use, enduring cultural models that inform our beliefs about the nature of sexuality and sexual acts preserve its status as a vile utterance that continues to inspire moral outrage”.2…

As society moves into a more technological age, the way humans interact with each other changes drastically.
