How to give orders like a Woman. haha

How to Give Orders Like a Man by Deborah Tannen is an interesting essay. I like the way it goes in depth about how society looks at people and how we're supposed to act towards our "inferiors." I think that when people talk directly just because they're the president or something of a company that it's wrong because everybody is equal and nobody is anyone's slave. And I think that if someone who is under you whether by social or economic class or even job title, they should be able to speak up and say what they feel and give orders too, specially if the situation risks their lives and the lives of others. I don't think its wrong to speak indirectly either because it shows politeness and courtesy towards other people. And it will probably make them do it better than if you order them to do it.
