Hello,everyone.
I personally enjoyed the lecture in this morning a lot. I will tell you mainly, my opinion toward the lecture here!
In the lecture, the differnt communication patterns in Male and Female were focused on from th point of view of linguistics and pragamatics. The word of pragmatics was new to me, but I understood well thanks to the the lecturer's explanation, how we chose word. The lecturer explained about the Cultual difference in communication patern with an expample of Japanese and Amrican students' discussions.
What I found when I heard the situation of Japanese students.... ? as one of Japanese, is... let me see, well, yeah it all depends. What he said was right in a way, because people in Japan care about the others' feeling so much. That's why ! I can't say 'No' directly to anyone, that's why I don't wanna disagree with someone's opinion....

Next, what do I think about the different patterns of communication between gender?
I totally agree! I didn't even think of it! That men don't share their personal experience a lot is true. On the other hand, female try to share the feeling and understand each other through the conversation including body lunguage. Yep, but I would say the style how to communicate varies in different culture. For example, in my country it is considered to be rude to stare at someone's eyes directly while talking. It's opposite from the culture here...

u know, it's kind of fun that mr. scott use japanese as an ex.because as one of ur classmates, i will think ........is eriko speaking like this? does she have this pattern? ya, i can find some patterns from the communication between u and me......for ex. u rarely say "no" to people. sometimes it might be polite but also it might make u some troubles especially u r in north america now. i think the culture is quite different. anyway, just a suggestion,saying no sometimes might not be a bad thing.........hahahha!!!
i noticed that you have many friends here, and i know you've been here for just several months, so i guess "never say no" helps you gain friendship. but anyway, i agree with richard, sometimes you need to learn how to reject requests otherwise you may put yourself in difficult situations. but please, don't say no to me ^_^
