1349 Words6 Pages

Have you ever asked your mom if you could go somewhere and she asks you ten incisive questions about where you’re going but if you ask your dad the same question he will answer with one word? This is because men and women communicate differently. We can’t change how our brains are wired. We also don’t get to choose who we fall in love with. Many of us don’t know what love is or feels like. We all hope it’s like the movies and we live happily ever after but that’s not usually how it works. All couples have their ups and downs. Men and women are different in so many ways when it comes to love. It’s like they speak two different languages. Today, I am going to persuade you that men and women speak different languages of love because of how they grew up, how they communicate, and how they solve problems and handle stress differently. Many of us are young and have never been in love before but as we go off to college we might find love. …show more content…

Girls and boys develop different sides of the brain growing up which is a phenomenon. Girls learn to communicate and read, which is the right side of the brain. Boys learn visual tasks and problem-solving skills first, which is the left side of the brain(Relationship Institute 2015). We both eventually develop both sides of the brain but growing up girls and boys develop different sides of the brain at different times.Also, growing up men and women are treated differently. Girls are talked to softer than boys are by adults(Relationship Institute 2015).When girls are young, they look at their moms as there heroes, or someone they want to be like. They follow their mom around so they can be just like them. Most girls see their parents in love and want to find love like them. Boys, on the other hand, are more independent but still look up to their dads(Person 1988). Boys learn to protect and provide for their

    When boys get injured, they have to act like they are not hurt or upset. If boys cry, they are told they sound like a girl and are told to grow up, but it’s ok for a girl to break down and cry. If a boy or man acts like they are bothered by something, say a breakup, they are told to act like they are not in pain or that they are ok and not upset about the breakup. When boys are growing up, they are told by society that if they like fashion or like doing “girl things”, they act too much like a girl.

  • Summary Of Guys Suffer From Oppressive Gender Roles Too

    890 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “Guys Suffer from Oppressive Gender Roles Too,” author Julie Zeilinger makes it clear that men’s actions, personalities, and identities are contrived based on society’s expectations. These expectations shove boys and men into a character-like attitude, preventing them from truly discovering themselves. With a society that decides to adhere to these gender roles, any sign of being different from the rest of the world tends to generate a negative reaction. Accepting and learning about gender roles is established at a young age, for anyone of that matter. Whether it be during school, through any form of media, or even from our own friends and family, gender roles are expectations that many boys and men tend to feel threatened by.

    Although some inherent distinctions between the sexes exist, Orenstein mentions Eliot’s findings on neuroplasticity to suggest that nurture supersedes nature in determining a child’s behavior. A child is most impressionable during the earliest stages of life, when his or her brain is still developing. That is why learning various concepts such as language, for example, is most easily acquired before the age of puberty. Thus, an individual’s upbringing is fundamental in the development of traits and therefore, gender

    For example, in any terrifying situation—being home alone, witnessing a stranger following you, or walking towards your house—women would feel greater fear than men, and this explains why they are so cautious. In addition to these factors, in every girl, it is known that they carry a mother’s intuition. Driscoll (2002, p.2) says in her book Girls, “It seems self-evident that girls are female children, or young women”, for instance, Wendy Darling from the novel of Peter Pan, who loves telling stories to her brothers. When Wendy and her brothers join Pan in Neverland, the Lost Boys ask Wendy to be their mother - a request she hesitantly agreed to do – and she accomplished it by telling them stories, taking care of them, and putting them to bed. Contrasting the boys in Lord of the Flies where they had no one to take care of them and instead they argued over vigorous properties, fought and in the end killed one another.

  • The Genderlect Theory: Explaining Communication Between Men And Women

    1816 Words  | 8 Pages

    One of these perspectives is analyzing communication through gender. In the book, You Just Don’t Understand, Deborah Tannen (1990) popularized the term “genderlect” to describe the way in which men and women communicate with each other. She suggested that men and women have different styles of conversing, forming two distinct dialects. In a review of Tannen’s book, DeFrancisco (1992) attributed the differing communication styles of men and women to the respective cultures in which they grow up. Because of such gender differences, misunderstanding between men and women creates a gap in the communication process.

    Brain scans tell part of the story. In general, more areas of girls' brains, including the cerebral cortex (responsible for memory, attention, thought, and language) are dedicated to verbal functions while in boys' brains; a greater part of the cerebral cortex is dedicated to spatial and mechanical functioning. So, boys tend to learn better with movement and pictures rather than just words. It is definitely a fact that girls tend to mature a little faster than boys, developing language skills sooner and giving them the edge over boys in reading, writing and speech.

This book presented an unparalleled synthesis of research findings on gender differences in development” (para. 9). It highlights that within-gender differences are often larger than those between the genders (a point still lost in many of the popularized beliefs held today) (Para. 9).
