The Words Inside of Me

This week in class, we read a study called "Are Women Really More Talkative Than Men?" and it claims to debunk the theory that women naturally talk more than men in their daily lives. In our discussion, it came to a point where we decided that this study would not change much in society today because it is more or less considered useless. The idea of which gender talks more would not help benefit or destroy society today, so why should we even think about making a study? Although the study of which gender talks more isn't that important, the study of how much a normal person talks throughout the day could be more helpful to the world. For instance, if there is a person who says more than 20,000 words per day, we can easily classify them as an extrovert. Extroverts are usually known as an out-going or expressive person. If we look at some of the richest people in the world such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg, we know that they were very intelligent but to make that intelligence prominent they had to form relationships and work with the people around them constantly. Now when everybody thinks of them, they are looked upon as initiators of a new era. Now, there is no question that there were people just like them who had intelligence but failed. Moreover, they failed not because of their products, but because they didn't expand it outwards toward society. They probably were not outgoing, forcing these other men to build their prominence. Also, there are probably other great products that people create but are not shown to society because they are more of an introvert. If this study of gender stereotypes instead focused on how many words people say per day on an average, we could see the difference between an introvert and extrovert and what they both bring to society. Would the study show the common belief that extroverts have a bigger impact on society or vice versa? If the result is the former, then maybe people could start introverts to expand into society so their ideas could be shared toward the world. Unlike the study that was created to break a gender stereotype which would have no gain to society, this idea could really help change society in a positive way.
