Response to video

This video was chosen not just because of its humour content but also because this video vividly depicts us the difference in how men and women communicate.
In my previous blog post, I mentioned that the article seemed to portray women as being more emotional as compared to men. However, this video offered us a different perspective. As seen in the first part of the video, Raymond was thinking too much about a noise made by Debra when it was not her intention for it to be a sigh. This made me realised that men can be equally sensitive as well.

Furthermore, in my previous blog post, the article mentioned that women often choose not to say what they wanted. However, in the second part of the video, Raymond did exactly the same thing . He offered to let Debra use the bathroom when he wanted to use the bathroom first. As Debra did not know about his “sacrifice”, she did not show her appreciation and this made Raymond hurt and upset. If Raymond had told Debra that he had sacrificed, I am sure Debra would have shown some form of gratification. This reiterate my stand that both genders may choose to conceal their true feelings in different situations.

Being sensitive and not saying what one means does not apply only for women, it applies for both genders and it depends a lot on how individuals react to different situation.
