Neil Postman’s “Technopoly”/ Technology Damaging
Communication : A 5 page paper examining Postman’s book.
Author Neil Postman is certain that the age of technology will
be the end of any ability of communicating with one another
that we now currently retain. He laments the passing of the
tool-using age without acknowledging that rather than
abandoning the use of tools, we are further embracing them,
though in modified form. Though he raises valid concerns, he
never quite finishes a thought or arrives at a logical,
well-considered conclusion. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Language Variations Between Genders : 5 pages in length.
Among the myriad differences between men and women is
the manner in which they speak. The variations that exist
within gender language are sometimes quite conspicuous,
while at other times remain quite subtle; however, one thing
is certain: the formation of these variations originates early in
childhood, with parents the primary factor behind these
learned contrarieties. Indeed, to listen to a group of women
talk when compared to that of a group of men, there are
obvious differences in the choice of words, the inflection and
often the meaning. The writer discusses the variations of
language in relation to gender. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
