Answer:
Are men and women equally emotional?
Women and men handle emotions differently. The cause of this may
partly be biological and from the early childhood. In both essays they are discussing that men and women are different in using emotions and that women are more emotional than men. They let the babies listen to sounds of other babies crying, animal sounds and some other computer languages. This shows that women are more likely to place themselves in the same situation. Mr. Goleman also points out that emotions is partly biological and he also points out that it also can be traced back to early childhood. They both argue that parents teach boys and girls different lessons in handling emotions. Parents tend to discuss emotion with girl in general but the only emotions they discuss with the boys are anger and the causes and consequences of that anger. Girls are also exposed to more information about emotions. Women tend to discuss their feelings to seek a connection with others while men do not care for sympathy. When both writers talk about the differences in emotion with men and women Miss Blum goes about it differently she compares us with animals like chimpanzees and apes to show us that differences in emotions does not only exist in humans but also in animals while Mr. Goleman does not touch
on that point. She also discusses the fact that women use emotions to get
their way and use it as an effective weapon. They also touch on the fact
women seeks to discuss while men tends to withdraw.
