This is a slight modification on my
introduction.
Communication, in relation to technology and gender, has
changed drastically over the past decade(s) and even just short years. People
communicate over email, phone call, and of course through text messaging. Within
the last 10 to 14 years, people have really gravitated towards communicating
through text messaging rather than phone calls. In relation to this more
advanced and modern approach, the way we communicate effects the way someone on
the other end relays emotion. Through all the implementations and modifications
through technology and communication, researchers have studied in the past how
men and women come across communication through technology. However,
researchers such as Susan Herring, have not viewed the way emotions are relayed
presently. In particular men felt very strongly about people writing too much
on forums over the internet in the past, while women were very nice and calm
about it . Have
times changed? This particular research studies the similarities that I have
researched, but the overall outcomes are different. Through a strict analysis
of the research I conducted, I will be able to compare how modern gender
communication is similar to the way it was in the (add year the research was
conducted), yet show the differences that men and women communicate and most
importantly relay emotions in this modern day.
This part below are just memos for the first part of the
body of my paper.
Excerpt I am using:
1. S:
…So I said to him one day I understand you’re not a fan of texting but if I had
a dollar for every time you don’t respond, every minute, I’d be rich. And he’ll
give me an excuse like oh I wasn’t paying attention to my phone or oh this –
and it made me very angry.
1. She agrees with my study not contradict. He doesn’t flame
but what S is doing is driving the way Herring is stating how men communicate. “gender assumptions”
Men flame
easily on the computer and specifically on a forum because they can just go on
and on. However on a cell phone, they are reluctant because they are speaking
ot just one person. Herring states that men are direct and women are “polite”
in the sense that they are indirect. In my excerpt, S goes on and on and it seems that her
boyfriend just doesn’t want to hear it. This relates how men just say whatever they
feel to possibly end a conversation. Whereas if the conversation was in a forum
he would flame.
