Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Non-verbal Communication
The episode where no one could talk in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was quite interesting. They used many ways to communicate with one another. They mainly used body language to show the person they were trying to communicate with, what they were trying to say. That was quite funny actually as there were many misinterpretations. They also used a pencil and a notepad, or a white board and markers to write down what they were trying to say. They also used eye contact to try and understand one another. They also made sounds as well whenever necessary. They mainly had to assume or guess what the other person was thinking or trying to say so it was a good thing that they knew each other particularly well, otherwise they would have had a much harder time trying to communicate with on another.

About Sex and the City Episode
In this particular episode of Sex in the City, most of the women were portrayed as easy, or sluts. The main character and the narrator of the show, had sex with her bisexual boyfriend I bleive after 2 or 3 dates. Miranda employed a new worker mainly because she found him attractive. She then later fired him in the episode so she could have sex with him. The character that dressed up as a man, had sex with her photographer when she first met him. I forgot their names so please bare with me. The character who had her boyfriend living with her, was portrayed as the man of the relationship, not taking into account her boyfriends feelings. It was later reveiled that the reason she was acting like that was because she was scared of loosing him.
I find it sort of funny how women complain about the way they're portrayed when they enjoy shows that portray them as slutty. That's not to say all woman act like these particular characters. But if women really wanted shows that depicted them negatively, of the air, a lot of their favorite shows they watch would be missing from tv. The men's role in this episode I found strange. One of them portrayed men as confused but outgoing with the bisexual. Another man was portrayed as weak and dependant on the woman seeing as how he always stayed at her apartment. The worker Miranda hired was more common as he came off as an asshole, which most women label men as. The photographer could be considered a hoe but at the same time a player as well as he got a woman he barely knew to sleep with him. The gender roles in Sex in the City are a bit different from reality, but you can still find some relations within the show.
