Problem:
Do some "Be an Observer" experiments at the very beginning of the week in places where there is not a prescribed agenda or way of speaking (this excludes business meetings, classes, work situations, college dorms or cafeteria, etc.). These would be social situations of any kind or people meeting in a coffee shop or restaurant. Report back what you see and hear Describe who you observed (rough demographic breakdown - don't observe people of all one age or situation), and the situation where you observed them. Describe any apparent gender differences in terms of how people dress, how they talk, whom they talk with and the topics they talk about. Particularly describe if it seems like men or women talk in a different way or about different subjects when they are talking with each other as opposed to in a mixed gender group. Conclude by discussing what your observations tell you about any observable gender differences.
