HW for Adam

Generally speaking, we can judge whether men or women are talking through hearing the contents and the ways of communication. This is because each gender has different speech patterns, gestures, or questionary processes. One of the most significant conversational distinctions between Japanese men and women is what subjects they tend to talk about.

Whereas most of the Japanese men just tell the conclusion, women express more details in the conversations. Since ladies cannot stand being alone, they are anxious to share their feelings and experiences, and try to draw out talking. One female teenager often talks about why, what, when, where, and how something happened to her, and friends of hers ask her other different aspects of that event. On the other hand, men see their partners as rival in society, their purpose of having a communication is sometimes just to gather information, for instance, how to get the goal or which method is better than the other. They are likely to change useful ideas and insides for their task or work, not their feelings and useless details. As a rule in Japan, women are good at giving a full account of objects, while men are clever in interrupting others’ styles into owns. Hence, according to Deborah Tannen, women need longer process to reach the consequences, but men tend to go to the main point at once.
