Kimmel has managed to illustrate a critical point on society and masculinity. The idea that a “man” should always have a strong and countenance devoid of weak emotions like crying is valid to many societies today. Unconsciously, the society has become accustomed to the predictability of manhood that no one seems to focus on the emerging male stereotypes. As a male child grows, the family bestows on him certain levels of faith of manhood that synonymously coincides with the predictions of Kimmel. In my life as I grew up, for instance, my parents kept chiding any attempt of constant crying. Of course, they ...

Abstract
It is necessary to establish the supreme principle of morality and look at the present treatise that surround it. For a law to hold moral ground, it has to submit to the rule of law and with it the ground of obligation (Hauptli, 2013). For example, there is the law that states “Thou shalt not lie”. This law has to be obeyed by everybody; those who have sound morals and those who do not care for morals. Abiding to the law is the moral thing to do and everyone need to observe it. This argument means that doing ...

Many of the classic mistaken-identity comedies that entertain us owe their origins to plays like Much Ado About Nothing.

Niles is interested in Daphne; Daphne’s friend is interested in Guy; Frasier is interested in Daphne’s friend; Guy is interested in Niles.

James Holmes has been indicted of opening fire in a teemed theater at a midnight showing of the Batman movie on July 20th, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others. The rage of the attack, setting and sheer magnitude was more than any other in the country’s history. This encounter shocked even a nation largely habituated to random flare-ups of violence.

There is no avoiding the use of e-mail in order to communicate on the job. It is a very fast way of getting information back and forth. Fast is not always the best though.

The article “E-Mail: Before you hit send” has good and important tips on the things to think about when writing an e-mail and before sending it.

One of the most important reminders is on the last page. I think this should be the first reminder: ...

1. Collaborative tools:
More often than not, the information technology department of an organization will not seek the views of other employees when introducing new office tools. They instead impose new office tools within the organization. Such organizations need to be aware that Software user experience varies between employees. Be it Skype, MS Communicator or Lotus project, for software to be effective, the users (employees) should be involved in selection processes. Only when their views on software’s anticipation of their needs, ease of use, content and effectiveness are sought, will communication be flexible. It would be a tremendous ...

Bruce Bower in his well-written article in “Science Today entitled “Shared Talking Styles Herald New and Lasting Romance” argues that” language style matching” is a communication asset between two people, then the reverse scenario of both employing different communication styles does nothing to help the interpersonal relationship between them. The reason for this is simple and only common sense. When two individuals talk or communicate to each other, then the use of similar language styles is usually a step forward towards better communications. Better communication means better comprehension, better empathy and therefore better quality of interpersonal relationships. So far so good, ...

Article Critique: Masking Poor Communication

People often assume that close relationships are based on good communication. However, this may not always be true. We develop close relations with others due to different factors and only one of them is good communication. Children are friends with those that they go to school with, adults with some coworkers and those are people that we did not choose to go to school with, or to work with. We are close to them because we spend a lot of time together and share similar interests. In order to understand each other we need something more than closeness, we need ...

In gender theory the concept of women as a unified, homogeneous group is challenged through the theory of intersectionality.
