HJU Cross Culture Communication Class

Lesson 11 Men and Women, Communication Gender issues

In today's class we will talk about ways we communicate differently between the sexes. One subject that will be discussed is the way we write our e-mails to each other. Do you think men and women write in a different style to each other? If you look at an e-mail ( not knowing who it is from) , can you tell if it is from a man or a women? Answer these questions for homework and give me some examples to prove your opinions.
