I. ESSAY
I chose this subject because: I thought it would be interesting because we hear very often that men are a bad multitasker so I wanted to see it in a scientific way.
What theexperts say.
There are many theories about this topic, so I’m just going to quote someones.
Some Experts say it depends on the conditions the person is in (Haller M), other ones say it depends on theactivity they’re tested on (Prigg M) and other ones just say women are better just because she is more used to multitask.
Opinion
So now my education opinion about this topic is: people havedifferent abilities when multitasking, it depends on many factors, and mostly in how much do they practice it every day, so that’s why I think women are better at multitasking than men (because now I thinkso). Although not always woman is better, as I have said it depends on many factors, but mostly woman are better.
II. RESEARCH QUESTION
I made my own investigation question to find out if myhypothesis was sustained or questioned: Does really men are good at multitasking?
