Credit(s) 3.00
Lecture Hours: 3.00
This course is designed to explore the differences between the male and female gender from conception through adulthood. Differences in abilities and attitudes which arise from biology and the brain will be emphasized, although socio-cultural explanations for differences will also be discussed. In addition, the differences in the use of language and communication by males and females will be explored. The goal of the course is to understand these differences and to decide how males and females can use this understanding to communicate with each other and to augment appreciation for the cross-sex.
