Many people have different opinions about how man and women communicate, in some cases women communicate different from men. Men tend to assert opinions strongly as facts, place

more value on presenting information, are more likely to use crude language and violate rules of conduct, and engage in more adversarial exchanges. Women perceive that contributions that are confrontational are less accepted by others. Jeong, A. (2006).

Some studies, mainly in the West, have suggested that women are more encouraging in their communication styles than men, especially when the conversation is about a personal matter versus when it is business-related. It has also been contended that same-sex communication

between women is more supportive than both mixed-sex communication and same-sex communication between men. Ng, C. (2000).

In other study by Lise Eliot neurologist and author of the book: Pink Brain, Blue Brain. Were she states that women use the left hemisphere of the brain, more then the do. She also states that men when asked a question are more direct and stick to the facts, they do not add any more or less. Women when asked of the same question like the man the answer will be more open and the they will even make comment to support they're answer.

In other case the communication between man and women can be influence just by their cultural, like for example, in some culture the woman can not have eye contact when that speak to men, this is considered an insult. But in other culture women don't even have rights like men do, so this can influence the way they can communicate, because the communication can be only one way not a two way communication flow.

The goal that both man and women would like to achieve can also influence the way they communicate between each other, because if their a physical attraction or even love this can change the way both man and women approach the communication. The men will change their way to accommodate the women and even will hear each detail of the conversation, same as women they will not filter each word the men say.

To conclude, communication between man and women can have different affects, they can be influence by they're culture, their goals, or just they're normal way of reasoning. Like the study's show even right or left hemisphere thinking man or women, can also change depending on what s the situation.

What role have I played in a group role; What role have you played in this group?

I have participated in my group activities, both from work and school. I normally will like to see how the group is progressing and them I will see what approach a can take. If the group is flowing and we all have chosen a role so them a will help out with my ideas and do my task, another thing is that if another person has problem doing their part i will offer my help to assist them, and the same if I need help I will ask for it. Know your group helps when delegating the task, if you do not know them, you will have start to know them, to better understand them and the culture or way of operating. Some group member will be need assistants but will not ask for the fear of rejection and loosing the groups acceptance. I suggest that at the beginning clear the area and make sure that the group know that we all work for one goal, even so that we have different task but it will only work if we work as one not individually.

The role a I played in a group is of research, investigating support for engineers on looking for solution on problems the production worker have doing their daily task, accordingly to the progress that they we trained. Another role is data collector for a school project, I had to interview, get all the data, clean it up and present in class.

Session 4 Out Sourcing

Many time companies need to outsource some time is to gain financial outcome and other is for surviving the critical economy, for the most outsourcing in some cases is necessary to satisfy the customers needs and to keep his confidence to maintain there trust. Outsourcing can sole some problems but also they can create new one's too, quality in some cases is the first thing that is lost when out sourcing because cheaper labor transform into lower quality products or service. So outsourcing isn't always the solution, planning out the situation is required to plan and make the correct decision.
