This is thought to be negative reinforcement. Oftentimes various manipulative strategies may be used. One of these is impression management. This is where one tries to make one's side look good. Authority involves stating one's right to make a decision. Emotion involves making an emotional display to get one's way (Families and Family Decision Making, 2008).
I think that negotiation is the best method. This allows everyone to have their opinions heard and then the best decision can be made. This gives everyone the opportunity to participate in the decision making process and feel as if they are contributing the well being of the family as a whole.

The best decisions are usually made when all of the information and choices are laid out for everyone to consider. The use of negotiation allows for this to happen and the best decision to then be made.

However, gender expectations of different nations can impede free and open discussion in intercultural communications, if a particular culture has yet to accept that it is appropriate for women to confidently assume positions of authority. Although cross-cultural communication presents a challenge, globalization has made understanding the difference between high-context and low-context cultures even more vital than ever before. Implied meanings in different cultures have different levels of signification, based upon
It will be important for me to recognize my own culture and the way it affects my interactions with others. I must understand how the culture I am familiar with differs from that of people I interact with daily. I have to work to understand or uncover any similarities that exist between cultures I interact with as well. This will make communication easier and assure it is based on
Communication Differences of Men and Women That women and men communicate very differently is an idea that has attracted the attention of the media since the 1990s.

In many cases, even the closest of male friends maintain a relationship that is sustained largely by common interests such as in sports or recreational interests.
