Gender Question Part II...

The answer is not as simple as one would hope. This problem gets to the heart of the gender divide, and needs to be researched further, in the attempt to provide a solution. This paper will be devoted to creating that solution, so that men and women can communicate more efficiently, with less misunderstandings. However, this will not be easy. There are those who would attempt to label this as "mud slinging", but, in reality, this is not. It's a simple question, that i think has a very complex solution, and I would be remiss to avoid the controversial subjects. No matter what some may say, my question still stands - "What's up with the hyper-analyzation all girls do, in every subject matter"?

The complicated nature of girls' minds is not a new phenomenon. According to John Doe, "The female gender forever has, is, and always will be, the subject of much intellectual discussion, especially in historical cultures. Their influence of, and interactions with, the male half is a lesson the division of the sexes, in and of itself" (Doe 34). The female mind is inherently different than that of the male's, and is, therfore, a different "creature" altogether than that of the male's mind. The solution is simple: figure out a scientific reason for the difference, and promote "social communication" classes, in oder to further communication.

  1. Derek, again, the focus is just a little too broad here. The third and fourth paragraph therefore then end up being "frothy"-- lots of words without much real analyzation, because you're not sure what to specifically focus on. You can't focus on finding out every scientific reason for EVERY difference between men and women unless you've just been awarded the biggest grant in the history of grants. Focus on ONE question to research.

    Third should use one of the research pieces you've found to show that there are some plausible ideas that could answer your question, but that the topic still warrants further research. 4th finally states your thesis, which you will then go on to defend.

    Finally, regarding mud-slinging: discussing controversial topics is great. Discussing them in a way that is judgmental and condemning of people who are not exactly like you is not. You can have this discussion, and by all means DO, but do so respectfully. Women and men are not better or worse-- we are just different.

    3rd and 4th: 11/15
