Male- Female Communication Patterns

In our lecture topics, the teacher discusses about the communication patterns of a male and female with some references including to author Derorah Tannen. According to her, there are big differences between the word used by men and women. Because of their word selection, sometimes a man and a woman has misunderstanding with each other. Further more, male always has a tendency of giving advice to his female partner and showing dominating attitude. Male always wants to make a distance and to show his personality. On the other side, female talks more and sometime make informal communication.

There are big differences between male and female in their culture. For example, the Americans are more straight forward in the talking then the Japanese. In another study, Deborah Tannen found a number of differences between a boy and a girl in their expression, attitude and pattern of communication with different ages. In another TV show in Austria, men try to dominate the floor even though women have the expert status in a specialized field. The audience also shows attention towards male voices. In work place, these diffencences are more visible because the environment is more structural and hierarchical. It is proven that female are given less importance in professional meetings and boss and subordinates relationship.
