Issue #5

I do believe that society is the source of sex differences in our culture and in communication. According to Brizendine, male and women brains are 99% similar and the one percent of our chromosomal make up that is different does account for alot. However, we were all created the same and I do believe that our culture and society has made the perceptions on communication between men and women are due to how the genders are perceived. The media makes women look like they are just dependent, people who need the stability of a man. Men talk to women in certain ways, they talk down to them, make them feel inferior and they use communication as a means to assert their ideas and thoughts on other people. So i do believe that culture is the primary reason that there are so many sex differences in the area of communication.
