I really enjoyed class yesterday. Topic of the day was communication. It was espcially interesting to hear about the differences between men and women. You can tell from a young age how boys and girls are taught to communicate with eachother and their peers. It is interesting what is socially acceptable for communication levels. Right away from the toys kids play with they learn about communication. Girls are given dolls and barbies. They are told to be nice and play nice. They are taught to be very social. This is setting them up for a lifetime of communication. On the other hand, little boys are given actions toys. Examples are action figures, toy guns, blocks, and models. This teaches them to solve problems and take action. Women talk more about emotions and try to relate everything together, while men are problem solvers. It would not be soically acceptable if men spoke more about emotions etc., or would it. We were talking in class about how different men and women communicate, then someone brought up an thought probing question. The question was, if we like how separatly men and women communicate. I have been thinking about this all day. It would be nice to have men communicate like women but I don't think it would create more unity in the world. I believe it would cause more problems. It is like the saying, if everyone was the same the world would be boring. This was one of my favorite class dissucsions so far. I really enjoyed talking about communication and the differences between men and women communication.
