...Men and Women Communication Conversation is the most common form of communication, but it may not be as simple as we think it is. Women and men have many differences while communicating between each other. Men can only comprehend men, as women also comprehend in its totality to women. In the article “Sex, Lies, and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen is stated how women and men differ in the way they bond with each other, their childhood socialization, the physical positions each gender practices while communicating, and their listening habits. There are many differences in the way we bond with our gender. According to Tannen’s article, with women it is developing a relationship; intimacy and talk are the main practices that give strength to the relation, like exchanging secrets. However, men base their relationships on the things they do together: actual experiences. “Women expect their husband to be a new and improved version of best friend.”(Tannen 441) That implies that women are expecting men to respond as women do in certain conditions, like as said before exchanging secrets. This is one of the most remarkable differences between man and woman that make each other uncomfortable while communicating. In order for a gender to create a total different structure while socializing, it must be developed before, as we grow up from childhood. “Boys and girls tend to play with children of their own gender, and their sex-separate groups have different organizational structures.”(T ...

...MANAGEMENT 5590 – FALL I 2012 ROPES PRESENTATION PAPER SECTION 2 - BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS By Loyd P. Cadwell Webster University SECTION 2 BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS Introduction The theme of this section is socialization and attribution within an organization. The culture within an organization is studied with many good examples. Socialization, as defined at dictionary.com is: “A continuing process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior, and social skills appropriate to his or her social position.” On the other hand, per the American Heritage Dictionary, attribution is: “Something, such as a quality or characteristic, which is related to a particular possessor; an attribute.” Therefore, this section introduces with examples of social behavioral problems in the work place. Everyone is shaped by his or her experiences because of company culture, unique situations, personal history, and other individuals they work with. We all learn and grow as we learn through these experiences…… Story 1 – But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others Summary of Material Our first story talks about the fact that there is a hierarchy of executives, managers, and workers within an organization. If we are well socialized in an organizational culture, we can see why certain people hold the jobs they have within that company. Usually, it is because they have certain special attributes which make...

...Cristian Uribe The war without end, selfishness, nothing to do against death and the scars of the war in Men without women In this essay I’m talking about the main issues present in the following short stories in Men without women by Ernest Hemingway (1928): In another country (25-29), Hills like white elephants (29-33), The killers (33-40) and Now I lay me (83). In another country is about a wounded American soldier recuperating from an injury by receiving treatments from machines in a hospital in Milan, Italy. Machines. With him there’s an Italian major receiving treatment for a shriveled hand. There is a strong optimism of a physician employing the new machines which is contrasted with the skepticism of Italian major who, disbelieving in the machines, nevertheless comes regularly for therapy to his hand. That daily attendance is interrupted only with the sudden death of the major’s wife. The machines were new, as result, the narrator and the major were trying them. And although they both didn’t trust in the machines they were under their treatment because they really wanted to recover. The major wanted to be his wife and the narrator probably wanted to clean his pride because his wound and medals were “fake”. What I think can be infer from the text is that even if the machines have success healing the soldiers, the war for them won’t end because is not just facing enemy on the front line but also picking up the pieces of their damaged lives and facing the prospect...

...Ernest Miller Hemingway was born at 8 o'clock in the morning on July 21st 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. In nearly 62 years of his lifetime, his literary reputation was unsurpassed. The Characters that he created were not only captive the literary critics but also the average men as well. It can be said that Ernest Hemingway was a greatest American Writer in the twentieth century. His experience as a soldier in Italy during World War 1 inspired him to write many of his later masterpieces. One of which is the story “In Another Country” in the book “Men Without Women”. “In Another Country” is a short story about wounded soldiers who are recuperating after being injured on the front line. The main theme of the story is about the isolation feeling that the American soldier, or the narrator, has to confront. The first thing I would like to mention is the isolation of the narrator in his emotion. The setting of the story is in a military hospital in Milan, Italy during World War 1. As an American soldier, the narrator always feels homesick at a certain when being out of his homeland. Moreover, at the first glance, the title of the story, In Another Country”, Ernest Hemingway implies that the narrator himself is just a tourist in a foreign country rather than a real soldier who really fights for justice. This is the reason why he feels that he is undeserved for the medals. By describing his visiting to The Cova Café, the narrator lets the reader capture his tourist characterization...

...lived outside the home. From this first observation, it is easy to understand how the role of women in Athens was marginal. In fact, the woman after marriage became increasingly detached from her husband's life, becoming a sort of superintendent of the servants' work, since she was always at home (DeAgostini, 2010). The men went out in the morning to go to the Agora, where the political and commercial life of the polis was concentrated. In the Agora, you could meet people from all social class, from magistrates, who had there their offices, to slaves, who went there to make commissions (Bruttini, 2017)....

...MEN WITHOUT WOMEN by Ernest Hemingway (1928) - The Undefeated - In Another Country - Hills Like White Elephants- The Killers 1-THE UNDEFEATED This short story reflects the courage, or rather recklesness, of a bullfighter called Manuel Garcia. As the title of the collection infers, none of the characters (which are all men) appear to be in touch with, engaged or married to any female. The setting is in Spain, which is indicated by the use of pesatas as currency and Madrid as a road to success according to the bullfighters. So, we may guess the author took his experience from his professional travels as a journalist. This tale is mostly about the way poor and unskilled men cope in a society ruled by corrida organizers as Don Miguel Retana. “If you stand in with Retana in this town, you're a made man” […] “If you aren't in with him you might just as well go out and shoot yourself” (cue from a waiter of the café before the Puerta del Sol) is a sign of the brutality of a community within which everybody ought to abide by Retana's rules. It is also a way to emphasize upon some sort of injustice set up by few men acting almost as mafia bosses. And Manuel, and his late brother, are victims of the system. The former already started getting rejected on the grounds of his being too old and therefore unpopular (as his aging weakens his abilities on the bull ring). However, not being able to make two ends meet, Manuel is compelled to fight in a nocturnal. He requires the help of a gifted...

...Mohsen Jamal Mr. Andrews ENG3U1 22 March, 2016 Ineffective Writing Style in Farewell to Arms World War I was one of the most desolating tragedies that the human race ever faced. The novel, Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, is one of many famous and historic novels that date back to World War One. Farewell to Arms is a well-known novel solely based on the content inside of its covers, and it has also been ‘labelled’ as one of Hemingway’s greatest novels. Although the novel is famous for its interior content, the introductory chapters in the novel are ineffective and misleading. The chapters lack relevant information, and they are abundant in insignificant amounts of material which leads the reader to struggle when understanding the plot. For example, the first two chapters spend more time explaining the surroundings and settings of the novel, rather than providing valuable information that would assist in comprehension of the novel so far. The first two chapters take place in the small Italian village where Henry lives in. Also, Hemingway struggles to express the story through the novel medium, the novel spends many chapters repetitively explaining the same event or conflict. For example, the novel spends three chapters describing Henry’s encounters with Catherine Barkley on his way to work every day. Moreover, during these encounters, no new information or drama is presented. Finally, the novel hesitates to describe characters thoroughly, and it gives a very feint interpretation...

In print media more than three-quarters (76.4%) of the articles focused on men’s basketball, whereas 23% pertained to women’s basketball (Kian, Vincent, and Mondello, 2008, p. 227). The difference of amount in media coverage is enormous between the two genders. When combining both a total of three articles, or less than 1% of the overall population of articles, focused on both men and women (Kian, Vincent, and Mondello, 2008 p. 227). The media is heavily favoring one gender over another in sports and why is that?...

...argue that religion is patriarchal in that women are exploited by men and seen as subordinate. Feminist sociologists are interested in how women have become subservient and how religion has promoted patriarchy. This view is not just shared by female and feminist sociologists. Anthony Giddens argues that; "The Christian religion is a resolutely male affair in its symbolism as well as its hierarchy. While Mary, the mother of Jesus may sometimes be treated as if she had divine qualities, God is the father, a male figure, and Jesus took the human shape of a man. Woman is portrayed Gender is a major part of religion, and it is believed that women are more religious than men. Religious participation is also a big part of religion along with religious organisations. A number of studies have proven different views on the relationship between gender, religious participation and religious organisations. There are a number of religious organisations including; churches, sects, denominations and cults. A number of studies have some that women are more religious then men. Whatever women's influence and status may have been in religious organizations, studies have consistently shown that women are more religious than men. Miller and Hoffmann (1995) report that women are more likely to express a greater interest in religion have a stronger personal religious commitment and attend church. Men are less interested in Christianity than women. Among women, there are close to twice as many Christians...

...Classification. By beginning with descriptive mode to then shift to definition, Tannen allows her audience to see the relationships between how “women” look vs. how they are defined as. Through this the reader is able to acknowledge how women automatically lower themselves in order to fit the standards of being a woman “full of dignity.” 2. “Gender markers pick up extra meanings that reflect common associations with the female gender: not quite serious, often sexual.” (Tannen) Do you agree with it? Can you think of examples from your own observations? • i do agree with her argument since “gender markers” consistently redefines and imposes the image and identity of what women are supposed to be, which is very similar to the role of beauty. Based on my observations beauty creates and defines the ideal image a woman should have, which is mostly seen in social media where it imposes the socially accepted body image a woman should have depending on the country. 3....
