Power Point Presentation On Research Paper
SEX, GENDER AND
COMMUNICATION:
DO MEN AND WOMEN SPEAK DIFFERENTLY?
Sex Versus Gender
Do men and women speak differently? Thesis statement:
The myth of Mars and
Venus has long been upheld as a truism that dictates that men and women do not communicate in the same manner.
Sex Versus Gender
PURPOSE OF THE PAPER
To illustrate the differences that exist in the way that men and women communicate and to account for these differences.
To explore how nature or nurture contribute to the differences in the way men and women communicate. To explore avenues to mitigate the differences which exist between the way men and women communicate if this is a truism.
Sex Versus Gender
RATIONALE
Do men and women really speak differently?
This issue appears to be evident in multiple settings which we will explore ranging from our genesis as a species whether through evolution or creation to an examination of our genetic makeup as well as other aspects of our development which show major paradigm shifts between men and women.
Sex

There are real biological
differences between men and women and they do affect communication. Some academicians seem to be
in “biological denial (Andersen,
2008). Political correctness may be at work
Harvard President, Lawrence
Sommers, sparked controversy when he claimed the shortage of women in math and sciences was partly due to “intrinsic aptitude.” SAT math scores for male high school students in the U.S. are higher, on average, than females’ scores. The gap is large and statistically significant (+30 points), and c) and the gap has persisted over time, since at least 1971.
