Case Study: Caroline Morin

Decent Essays
Caroline Morin is a 59 year old woman from California. She has done everything to lose her weight, including Weight Watchers, exercise, drinking more water, controlling her food portions, and keeping track of her caloric intake / outtake. The problem is, she is not losing weight, in fact, she has been gaining more in the past few years. She put on 50 pounds in the last year.

She met with Dr. Kaidi Miller, an endocrinologist at Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation in San Francisco, California. This was because she was concerned that her cause of her weight gain was hormonal. She told Dr. Miller that she had never been skinny but also never been heavy like this before, either. She was 5’ 4” throughout her twenties and weighed 170 to 180 pounds.

    Discussion Question 1: Men and women certainly have different listening styles. While linguist Deborah Tannen claims that the differences in listening style are due to men and women being brought up in different cultures, communication scholar Kathryn Dindia suggests that men and women are raised in the same culture, but their listening differences result from being told how different they are. I agree with Dindia’ claim because many men and women can share a lot of cultural similarities and still listen very differently. For example, two siblings (brother and sister) can be raised in the same home with the same parents, same religious beliefs, political views, etc. and still have different listening styles.…
