Conclusion:
Findings:
Through a careful analysis of the research conducted, an assumption can be made that women and men do have different views towards communication when it comes to texting. The excerpts from the transcript were able to show a newer and more modern study, in relation to the research done by Susan Herring. Instead of men "flaming" through text, the term flaming is perceived in the sense of ignoring situations and conversations, because women might take more time and thought into what they say. According to Herring, the research conducted from the interview actually agrees to the research and point Herring made; men don't like when women "flame", which is exactly what the participant, S, did! The data analysis went into great detail to further this new research according to the different views men and women share with texting.
Interpretations:
As I conducted this research, it would have been really useful to interview a male to get his actual side. Yes the transcript went into great detail about both sides, and was actually pretty good at not being biased, a better look at the "other side" would have been wonderful. However, a clear point was made from the research to relate to Herring, and that was fabulous. As nothing was proved, an assumption was definitely made that can further this research.

Memos in Class today:
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.

Statement:
My focus revolves around the study that men and women communicate differently through texting. I am focusing heavily on emotion and basically how it is relayed.
1. Value:
A: did you ever have a text exchange that made you very angry? Laughing-
My focus revolves around the study that men and women communicate differently through texting. I am focusing heavily on emotion and basically how it is relayed.
1. Value:
A: did you ever have a text exchange that made you very angry? Laughing-
S:laughing- yes plenty of times
A: Can you describe one?
S: um (7:30) does it have to be does it have to be-
an angry situation or can it be the context of a text that got me mad?
A: it can be any. If you weren’t getting the right
feeback emotion-?
S: Well the other day I had a text conversation with
my lovely boyfriend on how long he takes to write back to my text messages and
Im the kinda person where if im home and im not busy my phone is always on me-
and with me all the time all the time. So hes the complete opposite and it takes
him a long time to write back to me. So I said to him one day I understand
youre not a fan of texting but if I had a dollar for every time, every minute,
I’d be rich. And hell give me an excuse like oh I wasn’t paying attention to my
phone or oh this – and it made me very angry.
2. Flaming:
A:Okay good let’s see are there any
other stories that you’d like to say about texting? How about this do you think
that your boyfriend doesn’t get the emotion that you are trying to explain. You
seem to be ‘cause you seem to be um you know really good at reading emotion but
do you think he can? (5:05)
S: Um I don’t think I
don’t think he can and it’s probably a guy thing.
A: Oh okay
S: Its probably a factor um you know
a factor that I’m a girl and he’s a guy, But I don’t think he’s as good at
reading emotion as I can. There’s times where hell say something very short and
to the point and then in turn you know I’ll ask what wrong you know because I
think it’s something serious he’s not saying lol he’ll say nothing is wrong
just, he’s just texting.
3. Emotion -women?
A: Oh okay so you don’t, so okay let me see if I
understand. You say you can read emotion through text, but at the same time
youre saying that you can’t? (4:09)
S: There’s instances where where I where, I think
that you can definitely relay emotions through texts if you tell someone I’m
crying I’m so hurt, they will understand. But in situations where you shouldn’t
be having the conversation over text that it should be by face its, I think,
its it is better. It’s not where you can, I think you can, you can get emotion
through text it’s the matter of doing the right thing and having certain
conversations face to face. (4:43)
A: So you would say it’s more for the respect-
S: Yes it’s a respect factor.

Here is just an idea of what I came up with for an introduction.

Questions:
- Should I expand more on the research in this introduction, or keep it brief?
- Should I expand more on my data?

I am attaching my revised excerpts with memos. I also have the link to the research essay in there. I'm not really sure if I did it correctly, but I did a main chunk of what I want to focus on.
