According to Tannen, men focus is on avoiding failure and social status, while women focus on achieving personal connection and avoiding social isolation. Tannen listed some descriptions of the differences between men and women communication.

    What types of rebel groups are more likely to engage in peace negotiations with the government during armed conflict?

Unfortunately, we know very little about how the institutional characteristics of rebel groups affect prospects for peace during armed conflict. I argue that rebel groups that have a political branch or a political party are more likely to enter into peace negotiations with the government as these attributes signal to the government the rebel group is more likely to be accepting of resolving the conflict via political channels.…

This will also give us time to think about what we want to say to one another and how we want to say it.…
