i think that Scott was efficient in his lecture - male and female differences -. He gave the idea of indirect and direct in using language for female, and also he was talking about culture to show that man and woman are two different culture. However, his idea of glass ceiling confused me, because i dont beleive that man look at woman as a second degree, because there are many woman got many high post in governmnet, hospital, university,etc. For example: Hilary Clinton is a candidate for presedentiel voting in USA, Condoleza Rice, Nwal motawakil, etc. anyway, this lecture fit nicely my knowledge, and it mad more serious about this topic that i could not really realize the difference between M & F.
Thank you Scott.

Hi Khalid,
Thanks for the compliment, but I think you need to give yourself more credit...
Okay, so what do I think about flying? Well, I've never been a good flyer. This phobia did not start once I started watching the hit t.v. show "Lost" either. (Hopefully there are some Lost fans in our class...but I digress...)
Flying in an aircraft usually implies that something exciting is ahead. A trip to an exotic location or to visit dear friends and family afar. Although I can't help feeling anxious about flying for two reasons.
First of all, since 9/11 airport security has really been beefed up and I don't think that really helps my nerves. I realize that it's for our safety, but I hate living in a society where we don't trust each other.
Most importantly, I am nervous about a potential plane accident or crash. On my last take-off and landing I remember feeling quite nervous. I had to close my eyes and take deep breaths to relax.
Statistically speaking, I know that there is a greater possibility of being killed by a car crossing the road than in an airplane. I have to remind myself that when I'm in the plane. And I better think about that the next time I am crossing the street...YIKES!
In any case, my fear of flying will not deter me from flying because travelling is one of life's greatest pleasures, don't you think?
