communicate.
like the differences between members of different cultures.
the result of structural inequality in a male dominated
society.
3)Cameron in, “Is there any ketchup Vera?” argues that:
power is always background to interaction.
Vera should bring her man some ketchup.

4)Sanders in, “Find your partner and do-si-do,” argues that we
are attracted to others because:
they do things for us that obligate us to them.
we like the way a person performs their particular role in a
given context.
they smell nice.
they remind us of others in our lives to whom we are
attached.
over time, through processes like self-disclosure, we come to
find whether we like who the person really is.
