31. When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their
                                reasons are always different (George Santayana)
                            32. Women  like  silent  men  -  they  think  they're  listening  (Marcel
                                Achard).
                            33. A  talkative  woman  is  one  who  does  talk  as  much  as  a  man
                                (Cheris Kramer).
                            34. It  is  probably  a  universal  fact  that  in  all  cultures  there  are
                                differences in how men and women communicate because in all
                                cultures  the  genders  are  socially  distinguished  (Nancy
                                Bonvillain).
                            35. …  men  use  curse  words  with  greater  frequency  and  greater
                                profane force than do woman (Nancy Bonvillain).
                            36. In societies with entranched gender hierarchy, where women and
                                their  behavior  are  disvalued,  inequalities  in  linguistic  images  is
                                one sign of the denigration of women (Nancy Bonvillain).
                            37. Adjectives  referring  to  physical  characteristics  of  females  are
                                often  used  in  contexts  where  comparable  modifiers  for  males
                                would not likely occur. Even public figures and political leaders
                                who  are  women  typically  have  their  appearance  or  clothing
                                commented upon by the media. This practice reminds woman that
                                they are never free from scrutiny and that their physical image is
                                a crucial part of their being (Nancy Bonvillain).
                            38. Women are restricted, through language, to their roles in relation
                                to man, either as wives or as sexual beings. And their behavior in
                                other spheres of  life  is disvalued through  negative connotations
                                associated  with  their  activities.  The  English  language,  then,
                                creates  and  reinforces  cultural  models  of  gender  that  help
                                maintain social privilege for males and undermine the status and
                                self-worth of females (Nancy Bonvillain).
                            39. Through all the drama whether damned or not -
                                Love  gilds  the  scene,  and  women  guide  the  plot.  (Richard
                                Sheridan).

                            4.  Split into two teams:  females  and males.  How  would  you  like  to  spend
                                $100. List  ten possibilities.


                            5.  Tell about  the role of women in Ukraine.
