Unit 7 Discussion Topic: People and Places
Gender is not just a woman’s issue, and due to the nature of communicating gender at work, it is one that is complicated. Gender issues connotate power, control, and relationship management.
After reviewing Chapter 8, find one news article about a power and gender issue within an organization.
In your discussion, respond to the following:
• Discuss how at least three main concepts from Chapter 8 are highlighted in this issue.
• Discuss how these three concepts can help this issue. Explain why these concepts are important to the communication process in the organization.
• Explain which wave of feminism you find the most interesting. Describe how this concept is present in the issue or how it can help with the organizational issue you researched.
Keep in mind that when you post, you should always reference items you cite — be sure to use APA format for this. Also, be sure to refer back to the rubric as often as you need to during the week. The class is all about sharing knowledge, so use discussions as a way of creating a community resource for yourself and your colleagues.
