Blog #6 Swann, Joan. "Talk Control: An Illustration from the Classroom of Problems in Analysing Male Dominance of Conversation."

I think talk in the classroom is dominated by males because males by nature are more aggressive than females. It is both a genetic and social statement that males are more talkative not only amongst others but in a classroom. Guys are taught at a young age to voice what they want while girls are taught to wait and they'll get what they want. This transfers over into the classroom and boys ask questions when they don't understand something or want something while girls stay normally stay quiet and try to figure things out on their own or wait for an answer. I don't this this applies to all males and females but for the most part guys are much more out spoken than females that's why there may seem to be a male dominance of coversations.
