Gender Communication is one of the most widely studies subjects. Many say that personal identity is the most important aspect in the Western culture. Researchers tend to look at the differences between men and woman rather than the similarities, they look at the stereotypes of men and women to find the answers to their questions. Women are expected to be gentle, warm, cooperative and caring. Men are expected to be competitive, competence and learders. Since girls and boys are trained to be this way as a young child and through their adolescent years, it is easy to predict their actions as adults. However, some researchers do not agree with this concept. Some think that gender cannot be separated from the culture. It is a very diverse research because there are so many different opinions and views.
