From the Paper
"Amy can be very assertive when it comes to defending children. In one scene I watched she was being interviewed on a television news talk show. She debated a corrupt politician who was running for office on the issue of trying children as adults for their crimes. The male politician was pictured as exploiting the issue in order to make a name for himself and get elected. He didn't care about children at all. Amy talks about her knowledge of children as human beings whom she relates to every day eye-to-eye. She tells off the politician and calls him a "self-seeking demagogue." "

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the break-down or miscommunication between the genders. According to the paper, many believe that the issue of gender miscommunication is as a result of the perceived power conflicts between the genders. This paper reviews the various issues and influences that impact gender communication.
From the Paper
"Every person I know, including myself has experienced all the above phenomena in association with gendered communications. Challenges are many to clear understanding between the sexes and power, allowing others to feel safe secure and important as well as practicing active listening will clearly help an individual transverse this land mine of potential barriers. The potential personal and social conflicts associated with communications between genders is one of the most important research topics associated with communication and the examples, be they extreme from the Douglass work help illuminate how serious power struggles and the dogged maintenance of beliefs can challenge open communication and understanding. Practicing, reassuring communication partners, removing emotion from the mix and allowing information you may not be interested in now to open your communication skills will likely alter patterns of negative gender communication in the future.

Communications Within the Family Background and Family Structure
Areas of Communications Between Genders
The Mechanics of Intimate Gender Communications
Intimate Communications and Friendship
The Internet Trap
Conclusions on Intimate Communication
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Another area where both genders get into difficulties on the Internet using the World Wide Web are in the "romance or love or lifestyles" sections of many of the major search engines. Here they can categorize themselves as to whatever it is they are looking for and through instant messaging, e-mail or chat-rooms can actually converse with a party on the other end ostensibly searching for the same as you. Be very wary of what information one gives if the urge is overwhelming to use this form of communication for intimacy.
There have been rapes; murders, serial killings and stalking of every manner one can imagine connected with these areas."

Abstract
This paper explores the differences in verbal and nonverbal communication between men and women. It explains the roots of these differences and how to alleviate the gender communication crisis.
From the Paper
"Do you ever wonder if men and women inhabit different planets? Can men and women be categorized into separate semantic types? Almost everyone would acknowledge that men and women have differences in the way they communicate. The question is: how different are they? Are they so different that the two groups are necessarily polarized to extreme ends of the communication spectrum? This question continues to baffle psychologists, relationship experts and the general public. Some would say that the differences are so minute that the issue is not worth debating. On the other side of the fence, the belief is that these differences are too great that men and women can indeed be confined to opposite poles. John Gray, author of the best-selling book, Men are from Mars, Women are From Venus certainly believes in the latter. According to Gray, men and women are so different in the way they communicate that it is only logical to believe that they originate from entirely different planets (Gray 5)."

Gender Differences in Communication, 2005.
A discussion of real and perceived gender differences in nonverbal communication.
1,056 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which nonverbal communication is affected by gender and examines the distinction between real and perceived communication differences. The paper demonstrates that, not only do men and women have very different styles of nonverbal communication, but that preconceived notions and perceptions may influence their audience beyond the verbal content of their words, as well.
From the Paper
"The theoretical implications of this study can be quite important to communication in the workplace. For example, if women know beforehand that they are likelier to be judged on nonverbal cues such as gestures and body language, they can be better prepared to counter any preconceptions. Similarly, if the research shows that an audience is more inclined to dismiss the content of a communication based upon the gender of the speaker this is important information to disseminate. Often, merely promoting awareness of a bias can help remedy it."

Abstract
Nonverbal communication takes place in every social setting, though often it is not recognized for what it is or for what it means. Much research has been undertaken in recent years to analyze different kinds of nonverbal communication, and much of this research has addressed issues of interpersonal and inter-gender communication, addressing questions of interpersonal attraction, flirting, interactions in business situations, comparisons of male versus female interpretations of nonverbal behavior, and so on.
From the Paper
"I. INTRODUCTION
Nonverbal communication takes place in every social setting, though often it is not recognized for what it is or for what it means. Much research has been undertaken in recent years to analyze different kinds of nonverbal communication, and much of this research has addressed issues of interpersonal and inter-gender communication, addressing questions of interpersonal attraction, flirting, interactions in business situations, comparisons of male versus female interpretations of nonverbal behavior, and so on. An examination of the literature shows some of the parameters of this research and suggests ways of interpreting the findings and applying them to different situations."

Abstract
This paper first studies the history of gender roles with regard to communication and how in the past decades with the openness of society and globalization, it has become more "acceptable" for women to take leading roles in public speaking. The writer also looks at studies which examined the different way school children communicated in co-ed and non co-ed schools. Finally gender differences in the workplace are analyzed.
From the Paper
"In the past, men and women's roles were strictly enforced by society. Men were expected to behave in a certain way and women were expected to in another way. No one would dare to violate these unwritten rules, or face extreme humiliation. In the case of women acting in a way that was traditionally a man's behavior, in some cultures, she could face physical punishment for her transgressions. When men violated social graces, often these transgressions were ignored. As women gained more status, these roles began to change, but the differences still existed. They were only expressed in a more subtle way. "

Gender and Nonverbal Communication, 1994.

From the Paper
"Because our physical appearance is the most obvious nonverbal cue we present, it prompts others to perceive us with certain expected personality traits. For example, because of generally accepted physique-temperament stereotypes, evidence shows that we do associate definite personality and temperament traits with body build.
In addition to the superficial, nonverbal cue of body build, or "somatype," we also present a range of less apparent traits and behaviors which are less clearly defined by anatomy. Even so, we will see that these behaviors are sex-specific, to the extent that males and females interact according to different nonverbal agendas. These male and female differences in interaction appear to originate both in culture and physiology, although an interaction of gender and environment is the most ... "

Gender, Career and Communication, 2007.
This paper discusses gender as it affects career development.
1,842 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at career choices and achievements as they relate to gender. The writer discusses that women's career development presents issues absent from the same kinds of strictly career choices made by most men. The writer maintains that a woman's choices are often determined by powerful social and cultural forces that shape her decisions in accordance with frequently false assumptions in regard to women's needs, abilities and aspirations. The writer concludes that a woman's career path is more often interrupted - and ultimately destroyed - as she sacrifices for the benefit of her husband or partner's career. The writer also notes that the prejudices that operate against almost all women are far worse for members of many minority groups.
From the Paper
"Yet it is not only the women at the top end of the career spectrum who are faced with these pressures to conform to traditional stereotypes. Those pursuing career paths that require less education and training are just as much the victims of societal attitudes that may cause them to accept less-than-fulfilling positions, at lesser rates of pay, and with fewer chances for advancement. Married women, or women with living with men, regularly find their own career choices limited by those of the men with whom they live. These limitations are not directly the result of any discriminatory practices, or indicative of a pattern of giving preferential treatment to the husband, rather they are the result of the fact that the man still tends to be the higher earner in the household. It is for this reason that a couple, or a couple with children, will more easily decide to relocate for the sake of the man's career, rather than for the sake of the woman's. Necessarily this choice makes the woman's career secondary. Her achievement is placed on hold not merely by this one interruption, but potentially, by a pattern of interruptions that ultimately results in a vastly reduced opportunity for advancement and success. In these instances, a woman is continually starting over while making sacrifices so her husband or partner can advance."

Abstract
"This paper is an examination of the differences in communication styles, content, and method of interpretation that are the result of gender.

From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of the differences in communication styles, content, and method of interpretation that are the result of gender. As bestsellers such as John Gray's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus point out, men and women frequently appear to be speaking entirely different languages, even when the vocabulary, syntax, and grammar they use are identical. This is partly the result of the inherent garbling that occurs within any communication process, but it is also because of essential differences between the two sexes. The contrasts in biology, anatomy, and genes provide the initial reason for gender miscommunication, while the influences of society account for the fundamentally contrasting ways in which men and women select the messages they send and transmit to others. Understanding these differences can offer fascinating ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of feminism through a review of the works of Glaspell, Atwood, and Gilman. The paper examines how issues of communication in "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell, and Margaret Atwood's "You Fit into Me," demonstrate the inability of women to express themselves and communicate effectively in their society. The analyses of these literary works are then applied in the present context where the ideology of feminism made it possible for communication across gender differences. This paper also argues that feminism is vital in human society in order to generate understanding of the differences and similarities of men and women.
From the Paper
"Feminist ideology is discussed in-depth in Gilman's "The yellow wallpaper," where the protagonist (also the narrator of the story) experiences a downfall towards insanity in order to 'escape' her reality that she is "imprisoned," literally and figuratively, in a patriarchal society. The narrator's perverse preoccupation with the yellow wallpaper in her room illustrates her imprisonment, where she is forced by her husband John to confine herself in a room because she is weak, a physical condition resulting from her too-frequent nervous breakdowns."
