"That's Not What I Meant"
[ send me this paper ]
Deborah Tannen (1992) (5 pp) Before one starts looking at any of Tannen's works concerning the differences between communications styles, usually based on gender, there are a few phrases that are handy from the start, and give an insight to the point of Tannen's discourse. They are that men, generally are involved in report talk, which centers around facts. For women, Tannen uses the description rapport talk generally around feelings. In this discussion, we will use Tannen's 1992 text, That's Not What I Meant to see how these two distinctions, influence, and sometimes complicate interpersonal communication. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Advertising and Individual Autonomy
[ send me this paper ]

According to "Advertising and Social Autonomy" written by Richard L. Lippke, the average consumer is not necessarily "manipulated," however, he or she is has their "capacities to make rational choices about the implicit content of ads" restrained or overpowered. The author of this report supports Lippke's argument and presents a number of examples of such a process in the modern "advanced" capitalist society of the United States.

Applied Conflict Theory
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing minimizing the potential destructiveness of conflict through awareness of conflict styles as delineated in Hall's Conflict Management Survey. Conflict truly can be found in any situation involving more than one person and one set of ideas. An awareness of Hall's conflict styles can aid in resolving that conflict more quickly, whether it be in a manner of compromise or competition and whether it be in the board room or in the back yard, allowing the participants to return more quickly to the issues at hand. There are strengths in each style of conflict advantageous to each setting, and it is up to those involved to make honest assessment of which style would best suit their purposes and the current issues before them. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
