As a university professor, your research, writing, and teaching in the area of gender communication has attracted media attention. It seems that nearly everyone is interested in the differences between the communication styles of men and women. You have been asked to address the managers of a large local manufacturing company on the topic of gender communication in the workplace.To prepare for your speech, you have arranged a meeting with the company's human resource director-the person who contacted you about giving the speech-to learn more about the audience and situation you will be facing. Write an essay in which you discuss (1) the three most important questions you want to ask the resource director about the demographics of your audience, and (2) the three most important questions

you want to ask about the situational traits of your audience. Be specific in your questions and explain why each of them is important.

What will be an ideal response?
