The purpose of this activity is to examine how we communicate ethically (or not) with people of different genders.
Consider Question 4 on page 155 of your textbook.
Keeping what you have read and your own experiences in mind, respond to the following:
- In your opinion, is there a difference in the way men and women communicate in interpersonal relationships?
- Is it ethical to speak with women one way and men in a different manner?
- Provide an example where you (or the other person) have changed your language or mannerisms due to gender (for example, if you were in an all-female group, what changed when a man joined the group?)
- Do you think it is ethical to alter our communication based on gender?
Synthesize your primary response into a 250-350 word post.
