'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

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.
