How are the differences between men’s and women’s communication strategies related to social or biological norms.

Note all essays require research, at least 3 sources, and two visuals.
Choose one of the below for Paper 2.
#8. Write an essay explain how damaging it is for a man not to fit the social stereotype for what is expected of a male in terms of appearance and behavior (ex. A man who is not interested in playing and/or watching sports). Use sources to support your idea. (cause and effect)
#10. How are the differences between men’s and women’s communication strategies related to social or biological norms. What values of the society do these differing approaches reveal? Research the communication strategies of men and women and write an essay explaining the differences. (comparison)
#11. Statistically, men tend to hold more positions of power and wealth than women do. Many women feel that simply being born male automatically confers status and power, or at the very least, makes life easier. This cultural assumption, however, may apply to only a very small segment of the male population. Write an essay discussing the effects of this stereotype on men. (comparison)
#12. Write an essay explaining what it means to be male in today’s society. Consider how men factor into current social, intellectual, political, economic, and religious arenas. Consider the opportunities that are available – or not available-to men. (definition)
#13. What does it mean to be a wife in another culture? Choose at least two other cultures and research those societies’ expectations of a wife. Try to find cultures that show significant differences. Remember that interviews might be a useful source of information-even email interview with wives in other cultures. Using your research, write an essay offering a comparative definition of a wife. Assume that your audience is American. Be certain to document your sources, including any interviews or email conversations. (definition)
Read “State of Our Unions,” p. 368 in my book, and update the essay with current trends and statistics. (comparison)
Respond to any of the essays in Chapter 8 (Gender in my book). You may agree or disagree with the author based on your evidence from research. (persuasion)
