Name: Instructor: Course: Date: Do Women Talk too much? The belief that women talk more than men has been around for so many years. Gender stereotypes place men and women in different categories instead of categorizing them as individual people with the desire to share their dreams, wants, and desires. Other stereotypical ideas about how women and men communicate include: communication is more important to women than it is to men; women communicate to build relationships, but men communicate to inform; women communicate with the aim of building emotional connections, men communicate to get things done, etc. so is the statement that women talk more than men a fact, or do men talk more than women in some situations?

According to Holmes, men tend to be more talkative in culturally valuable situations. Culturally valuable situations include public and formal contexts where persuasive and informative talk is considered valuable, and talking…

Rhetoric in Practice Essay In this project, I concentrated on a screenplay to remind the audience of the importance of critical thinking. The setting of the script is based on the appearance of coronavirus, which makes the society nervous and causes rush decisions. It reveals the dire need and the ability to analyze and evaluate information objectively before making a judgment (Cadman, 2015). The intention of the directive taken in handling the project is to inform the audience about the importance of critical thinking. Lack of reasoning skills is most likely to cause disappointments, regrets, and more problems within society. The play follows the Freytag’s model for writing a dramatic screenplay. Its pyramid consists of exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, and an ending (Elizabeth, 2019). According to Freytag’s pyramid, the narrator sets the scene by introducing the characters and their backgrounds. Secondly, the character reacts to an occurrence that is followed by a series of reaction events. Thirdly, the story is built, and often there is a complication. The problem that the character attempts to solve…
Expanding Abortion Rights Introduction There are several instances where abortion is necessary in the U.S. When pregnancy is the result of a crime such as child abuse, incest, or rape, abortion is necessary. In case the child would have an unacceptable quality of life by having serious mental defects, genetic problems, and physical handicaps, abortion appears to be a better option. Other than allowing aborting for the sake of the mother’s health, social reasons such as poverty, mother unable to cope with the child, and mother being too young to take care of the child are strong grounds for legalizing abortion. It is also a viable way of population regulation and improving the population. Due to the benefits associated with abortion, it is important to give the freedom of choice to women and physicians and promote the “unwilling to bear the unwanted.” Abortion Policy background Abortion has been performed for several years in the United States. When the Constitution was adopted, abortion before “quickening” was commonly performed. The states, with varying motives, started passing laws that declared abortion illegal in…
Romantic Relationships Based on the education I have learned about romantic relationships, I will approach cautiously with an open mind. I won’t strive to enter a super relationship that is based on high expectations to the extent that it is difficult for any partner to meet. I will try not to carry all my emotional eggs in one basket. If there is a personal burden that I can relieve my partners, I will try to set her free of them. I can try and have friends from outside the relationships. This will help me have other people to share my life difficulties. Based on the lessons, it is important not to believe the people that I met online. Many people do not live their real life in social media. Borrowed identity gives people less to fear as they interact online. Therefore, it is not good to be emotionally attached to a person that I meet through social media. The rule of the thumb says that the first sex should be done on the third date. It is, however, not…

Self-Assessment So far navigating through the course has not been smooth and my biggest challenge has been in accessing extra learning materials. Learning materials such as books, articles and journals are not easily available because they are limited compared to the large number of students. In order to maximize more benefits from the course, whatever we get from the lecturer need to be supplemented by information from other sources. The few available books contain old information and students need to be conversant with the current information. As we move forward, I would like to improve my English language both written and communicated. I am not good at grammar and hence I would like to improve my grammar by the end of the semester. We cannot avoid communication in our daily lives and therefore, there is a need to ensure that I perfect my communication skills. Additionally, I would also like to improve my writing skills like writing speed, spelling, grammar and proofreading. To understand and utilize the course materials effectively, first I need to be a regular visitor of the…
